hello everybody, after the bonkers and continuing success with ACT I that has humbled me beyond measure i want to update you all on where we are at as of september 2019. this year has been a tremendous year for challenges and i have faced the biggest challenges i have faced in recent years and i have been put through a lot. its been a tricky year so far and i really felt the world closing in on me and when i needed it most i found whatever i could inside of me with a little help to push on through. i had to make tough decisions to overcome these life challenges and i am feeling really good about the future and my ability to manage myself and i am proud i faced these overwhelming circumstances head on instead of quitting or running away and i have learnt a great deal about myself and what more i am capable of. i am still working on a lot of personal growth but that is going well with positive and genuinely selfless people around me. so…the music?
well i got back out and did some small shows to prepare for the long term and they went really well. i learnt a lot about my setlist and my songs in alive setting and i discovered what needs adding to my setlist to make these shows really powerful. more shows will be announced soon. and with ACT II i will be creating songs for a live setting for my show. i am excited about this. more on that below.
i have been asked to develop a film soundtrack for 2020 as well so this is also pretty mind blowing. i am very excited to be making music for a powerful film and i will reveal more on that in 2020.
ACT I has broken all our personal goals and gone beyond what we expected, this is down to some very talented and skilled individuals who helped us get our music out to a wider audience in the modern world and also some superb work on the two music videos that came from ACT I. i am so proud to be fueled and supported by exciting and creative individuals who genuinely care about my music and work hard to create art for these projects with me.
i can confidently announce that ACT II is in production. i have scores to settle on this part of the project and it will be a perfectly aimed arrow to the heart of those who gave up on me. it will be a strong response to those who cut and ran in my life. and i will do this with my head held high and the venues i perform in after release will feel the presence of these songs perfectly crafted for the live stage and more so, perfectly crafted for the concept that ACT II will bring. if you didn’t know by now i am a concept artist who writes different genres of music for each record to fit the narrative and style with the thread through all my albums being ME. so do your hair real pretty and put on your neon sunglasses….we are creating a really special record for the future past.
see you soon,
daniel xo
