Daniel Browning Smith

Smith was born and raised in Meridian, Mississippi, United States. He has one sister and one brother. He was inspired by contortionists since the age of four, giving him the dream of becoming the world's best one.

Later, in his teen years, he began street performing with this technique to attract people's attention. When Smith turned 18, he joined the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus before beginning contortion training under Master Lu Yi at the San Francisco School of Circus Arts.
Ehlers–Danlos syndrome.
The remarkable flexibility that Smith possesses is due to a genetic condition known as hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome or hEDS, one of thirteen types of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. Those affected by this condition often have extremely mobile joints which are vulnerable to dislocation and skin which is easily bruised. While many people with hEDS have severe muscle and bone pain alongside a range of autonomic nervous system and endocrine problems, Smith experiences only moderate pain.
