Daryl Milton Byron Brunt is a Greater Sudbury, Ontario resident and was contestant on the third season of the hit reality show Canadian Idol. He began his high school career in 2002 as a vocal major at Sudbury Secondary School and left the vocal program to became a drama major in his third year. Daryl wowed audiences with his rendition of "When You Believe" which earned him a spot in the Top 10 as he received the highest number of votes that week. Despite what some considered a heart-wrenching version of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" on his final night, Daryl did not make it past the Top 7 in the competition.

After his Top 7 performance on August 9, both fans and non-fans of Daryl bashed the program's judges for what was perceived by some to be unfair and unnecessary criticism. Jake Gold called his performance of "What a Wonderful World" the cheesiest he had ever seen, while Zack Werner compared it to Tiny Talent Time, a 1970s Toronto television show. Daryl unfortunately received the least amount of votes from the Canadian viewers that night and was sent home.
