WEBVTT 00:00:01.550 --> 00:00:05.990 And now here they are, Nick and Sue on Chatterbox. 00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:09.550 When the stars talk, they talk to Nick and Sue. 00:00:30.410 --> 00:00:33.350 Hi this is Nick and chatting to me today on this 00:00:33.350 --> 00:00:36.570 edition of Chatterbox Redux podcast is Danny 00:00:36.570 --> 00:01:02.820 Addison. And now in Chatterbox UK, we're just 00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:04.859 lucky enough to welcome Danny Addison. Danny, 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.340 how are you, sir? Welcome. I'm very well. How 00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:10.000 are you doing? I'm all good. I'm all good. Not 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.739 as sunny as it has been down here on the South 00:01:11.739 --> 00:01:13.400 Coast, but it's all right. It's all right. It's 00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:15.459 still a bit warm. Same here. I'm actually kind 00:01:15.459 --> 00:01:17.700 of excited about some cooler days, to be honest, 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.000 because it gets very hot where I am. Can I ask 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:27.000 where you're based? We're in Hitchin. kind of 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.540 just north of London, but not much. Yeah, it's 00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:32.040 more just our flat feels like it's got its own 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.319 climate in of itself. It's just cool it down. 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.540 Okay, so we'll talk about your new releases in 00:01:40.540 --> 00:01:42.780 a little bit, but let's talk about how you started 00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:47.650 Danny childhood. What influences did you have? 00:01:47.870 --> 00:01:49.969 What did you like and what was being played at 00:01:49.969 --> 00:01:51.790 home as you were growing up? What were your parents 00:01:51.790 --> 00:01:57.790 into? I mean a lot of stuff. My parents lived 00:01:57.790 --> 00:01:59.930 in Africa for a couple of years and so they brought 00:01:59.930 --> 00:02:02.680 back with them a lot of... a lot of African music. 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.060 So I couldn't name a lot of the bands. Only Alifaka 00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:09.680 Tore with Raikouda. I think that was the one 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.780 that was getting played a lot at home. But then 00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:16.300 a lot of country music, like we'd listen to the 00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:17.759 Dixie Chicks. I think they're called the Chicks 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:23.800 now. And I think that really influenced my kind 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.520 of violin playing because I'm a violinist. So 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.099 I grew up playing violin and classical music 00:02:30.099 --> 00:02:35.789 as well. and so yeah that that and a bit of uh 00:02:35.789 --> 00:02:37.569 then then was that influence with my older brother 00:02:37.569 --> 00:02:41.550 so white stripes gorillas uh red hot chili peppers 00:02:41.550 --> 00:02:44.090 a lot of that so it's a real a real mix of stuff 00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:48.289 yeah when you just say now when you want to chill 00:02:48.289 --> 00:02:51.050 uh what would you put on and listen to would 00:02:51.050 --> 00:02:53.740 you say but what were you into now I'm really 00:02:53.740 --> 00:02:56.979 into an artist called Foy Vance, if you've ever 00:02:56.979 --> 00:03:00.719 heard of him. He's an Irish guy, brilliant, brilliant 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.460 songwriter. More recently, I've been listening 00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:12.620 to some Jalen Nagonda, some Ethel Cain. I've 00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:14.199 been listening to Justin Bieber's new album, 00:03:14.419 --> 00:03:19.280 which I really like. Wolf Alice, huge fan of. 00:03:20.210 --> 00:03:23.129 Yeah, a lot of Billy Strings, a lot of stuff. 00:03:24.830 --> 00:03:28.270 Yeah, they're all great. Well, at what point 00:03:28.270 --> 00:03:30.849 did you decide you wanted to be a singer -songwriter? 00:03:31.270 --> 00:03:33.990 What point in your childhood or teens or whenever 00:03:33.990 --> 00:03:37.669 it was, did you feel that was your calling, maybe? 00:03:39.090 --> 00:03:45.879 I think I was probably about 22. I'd moved to 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.039 Manchester when I was 18 and I had written some 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.000 songs as a teenager in a band at school but I 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.719 didn't know if that was my calling as such. I 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:57.300 didn't really know what I wanted to do at 18 00:03:57.300 --> 00:04:02.000 but then kind of by chance a friend of mine told 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:03.659 me about this course up in Manchester where you 00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:07.860 can study pop music and so I sort of on a whim 00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:11.879 applied and managed to get in somehow and then 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.539 it wasn't until maybe two or three years into 00:04:14.539 --> 00:04:18.000 that, I realized that actually it was songwriting 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.319 that I really wanted to get into and understand. 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:26.399 And that was really my passion. And yeah, ever 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:32.420 since then, so around 2020, 2019, sorry, I started 00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:36.980 putting out my own music. And yeah, this new 00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:40.100 album is a combination of all that since 2019 00:04:40.100 --> 00:04:43.310 to now. kind of trying to pick the best bits. 00:04:44.750 --> 00:04:47.649 Yeah. Did being in Manchester actually help you 00:04:47.649 --> 00:04:49.110 at all? Because it's quite a vibrant city in 00:04:49.110 --> 00:04:51.189 many ways. Did it actually help you? Did you 00:04:51.189 --> 00:04:55.009 do any live stuff there at all? It was hugely, 00:04:56.329 --> 00:04:59.170 yeah, it was incredibly helpful. I mean, it was 00:04:59.170 --> 00:05:02.170 so good for so many reasons, but I think one 00:05:02.170 --> 00:05:04.930 of the reasons I talk about is the community, 00:05:05.009 --> 00:05:06.910 the musical community in Manchester is actually 00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:09.230 pretty small, you know, especially the songwriting 00:05:09.230 --> 00:05:13.839 community is. OK. for such a big city. It did 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.759 feel like everyone knew everyone and you feel 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.740 like this really family, real family environment. 00:05:20.259 --> 00:05:23.519 They're super supportive. And, you know, you 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.740 want to, you want to practice, you know, sharing 00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:31.019 your ideas and, you know, experimenting with 00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:33.360 with songs and stuff. Manchester is a great place 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.279 to do it. It's also not as crazily expensive 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.079 as somewhere like London. So, you know, if you 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.879 do want to prioritize doing something that's 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.060 not going to earn you a lot of money, say you 00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:50.060 also have the space to do that. Me, especially 00:05:50.060 --> 00:05:53.279 as a 22 year old, wasn't earning, still not earning 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.120 a lot, but I definitely wasn't earning a lot 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.720 back then. And yeah, it was really good to be 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:03.649 able to just, you know, take that time and yeah 00:06:03.649 --> 00:06:06.089 practice, practice. I mean Manchester's a place 00:06:06.089 --> 00:06:09.089 that has come up with some very big acts and 00:06:09.089 --> 00:06:11.430 groups going back to the 60s and things there 00:06:11.430 --> 00:06:13.589 but it's probably I mean it is a very vibrant 00:06:13.589 --> 00:06:16.389 city but I suppose I'm like any other southerner 00:06:16.389 --> 00:06:19.129 looking at it we see a map and there's this big 00:06:19.129 --> 00:06:22.129 sprawl of Greater Manchester but it's not all 00:06:22.129 --> 00:06:23.949 technically there's two cities there because 00:06:23.949 --> 00:06:26.850 if you look at Manchester city centre that side 00:06:26.850 --> 00:06:30.779 of the river is Salford. Mm -hmm, which has got 00:06:30.779 --> 00:06:32.899 the BBC and all the stuff there and different 00:06:32.899 --> 00:06:35.120 things and so we look at a map But it's only 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.420 a mattress only like really half of it is divided 00:06:37.420 --> 00:06:39.160 by that river isn't because you've got Salford 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.560 on the other side And it is right really but 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.699 um, I mean in many ways I'm surprised that Manchester 00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:46.860 isn't really the second city where it's Birmingham, 00:06:47.019 --> 00:06:50.240 but then again, I don't know But yeah, you say 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.660 the music community small which does surprise 00:06:52.660 --> 00:06:55.670 me, but no you've been there, you know, so Yeah, 00:06:55.709 --> 00:06:57.889 I mean, maybe maybe I'm thinking specifically 00:06:57.889 --> 00:07:00.269 like the singer songwriter community that the 00:07:00.269 --> 00:07:03.589 music music in general is and also maybe I'm 00:07:03.589 --> 00:07:06.350 just comparing it to London. It's probably, you 00:07:06.350 --> 00:07:09.410 know, it depends on what you define as small, 00:07:09.410 --> 00:07:13.850 I guess. But yeah, like the open mic night scene 00:07:13.850 --> 00:07:16.449 and the songwriting scene and the venues where 00:07:16.449 --> 00:07:19.490 songwriters tend to tend to turn up to perform. 00:07:21.170 --> 00:07:24.160 They're sort of well known by everyone. I guess 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.259 London is just this vast sprawling place. And 00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:29.879 there's so many different communities popping 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.939 up in there. And I mean, one place I always talk 00:07:33.939 --> 00:07:35.600 about is a place called the Whiskey Jar in Manchester 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.680 in the Northern Quarter, where, you know, there 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.420 was an open mic night run by Joe McAdam. Shout 00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:44.899 out to Joe McAdam. He put on these amazing nights 00:07:44.899 --> 00:07:46.899 and would insist on everyone being quiet, you 00:07:46.899 --> 00:07:49.279 know, when people came to play their music. That 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.410 was huge for me because, you know, It meant there 00:07:53.410 --> 00:07:55.389 was no pressure for it to be, you know, this, 00:07:55.389 --> 00:07:59.290 this finished polished tune, but you did, you 00:07:59.290 --> 00:08:00.949 did get that kind of bar, you know, you play 00:08:00.949 --> 00:08:04.389 in front of 60, 70 people who never heard of 00:08:04.389 --> 00:08:06.389 you. And you got the opportunity to share what 00:08:06.389 --> 00:08:09.050 you were doing and, and, you know, work on your, 00:08:09.209 --> 00:08:14.209 on your craft, if you like. And yeah, like I 00:08:14.209 --> 00:08:16.089 really, really miss it. I think that that's something 00:08:16.089 --> 00:08:19.779 that I It's one of the many things I think is 00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:23.680 so special about Manchester. Yeah, yeah, I loved 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.259 it. I miss it. That's good. What about the move 00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:29.879 down south? I mean, that was to follow your career 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:34.080 or, you know, what made you come down south nearer 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.419 to London? Yeah, it was to follow my career. 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.440 But I think really, it was just to be closer 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:44.620 to family because my immediate family all live 00:08:44.620 --> 00:08:47.419 in London or around London. And I've been in 00:08:47.419 --> 00:08:50.740 Manchester for eight years. And that's the other 00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:53.399 reason is, is I'd been there such a long time. 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.200 And I think I just got to a point where I wanted 00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.240 to be able to choose when I was in a city, you 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.580 know, and living in Hitching, very different. 00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:04.960 I also had never lived in Hitching as an adult. 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.399 So I grew up here, but when I was 18, and so 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:12.179 I wanted to, you know, try and, you know, see 00:09:12.179 --> 00:09:13.919 what it was like here, really, it was kind of, 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.419 you know, I guess. I didn't know whether I'd 00:09:16.419 --> 00:09:20.940 like it, but I had a fairly good idea. And yeah, 00:09:21.019 --> 00:09:23.419 I've loved being here for the last two and a 00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:27.500 half years. Very easy to get into London as well. 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:33.159 that's where most of my um work is now and shows 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:36.659 are now so yeah no it's great okay so what sort 00:09:36.659 --> 00:09:39.179 of size shows what sort of shows and are putting 00:09:39.179 --> 00:09:40.740 on when you when you're doing something live 00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:43.740 around london what what size venue we talk in 00:09:43.740 --> 00:09:45.960 and what sort of crowd are you getting Well, 00:09:46.059 --> 00:09:48.399 I mean, so we did a show at Paper Dress Vintage, 00:09:48.419 --> 00:09:51.759 which we sold out. It's pretty small. I don't 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.539 actually know what the cap is. Maybe like 100 00:09:54.539 --> 00:09:57.919 people. That's in Hackney. And then more recently, 00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.860 we did the album launch show in St. Pancras Old 00:10:00.860 --> 00:10:04.139 Church, which was such an amazing night of music. 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:09.480 I mean, it was such a fun gig to play. didn't 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:14.840 even know there was a church in St Pancras. It's 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.779 an amazing venue. I also didn't know it was sort 00:10:17.779 --> 00:10:20.139 of an active church when I found out that we 00:10:20.139 --> 00:10:21.940 were going to play there. I'd assumed it was 00:10:21.940 --> 00:10:26.879 just a venue, but no, it's still very much an 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.389 active church and they put on events there. Yeah, 00:10:31.889 --> 00:10:35.409 other venues, the Bedford. That's more sort of 00:10:35.409 --> 00:10:41.110 South London. I love that venue. There is, what's 00:10:41.110 --> 00:10:45.850 the place called? Spice of Life. So it's a great, 00:10:45.850 --> 00:10:48.389 great venue. Yeah, there's, I mean, there's just 00:10:48.389 --> 00:10:51.309 so many in London. So it's kind of like, you 00:10:51.309 --> 00:10:53.450 know, in Manchester, I could probably pick a 00:10:53.450 --> 00:10:56.049 handful word. I'd really want to play. You've 00:10:56.049 --> 00:10:58.490 got Deaf Institute, you've got 33 Oldham Street, 00:10:58.610 --> 00:11:02.350 you've got Manchester Academy, obviously. But 00:11:02.350 --> 00:11:05.990 yeah, like London, I'm still learning about where 00:11:05.990 --> 00:11:08.389 all these places are. Wonderful, that's great. 00:11:08.809 --> 00:11:10.769 Okay, tell us about the album you brought out 00:11:10.769 --> 00:11:15.750 and the tracks that you're pushing as singles, 00:11:15.950 --> 00:11:18.509 we'll say. So tell us about that and its name 00:11:18.509 --> 00:11:20.529 and tell us about some of the tracks and how 00:11:20.529 --> 00:11:23.940 it come about. So it's called Porcelain. The 00:11:23.940 --> 00:11:28.500 album is an 11 -track album. And I think I like 00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:31.659 to think of it as an album about reinvention 00:11:31.659 --> 00:11:36.639 and wearing the cracks that life can bring and 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.799 not being afraid of that. I think it was really 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.840 almost like self -therapy for me. I find that 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:47.440 with music anyway. But yeah, the songs are about 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:48.960 all sorts of different things, but I think that's 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:55.629 the overall... concept. In terms of making it, 00:11:55.889 --> 00:12:00.769 we recorded it in Brighton and in Belfast. So 00:12:00.769 --> 00:12:03.409 we did a Salvation Studios in Brighton, this 00:12:03.409 --> 00:12:07.730 beautiful studio with an amazing engineer there, 00:12:07.870 --> 00:12:10.809 Jake Stainer. Shout out to Jake, he was great. 00:12:11.350 --> 00:12:15.470 So with me, my brother and two other producers, 00:12:16.470 --> 00:12:19.919 Matt Weir and Simon Francis. and they also played 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:21.600 on the record as well. So we all played on the 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.600 record and we all produced the record. And so 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.639 it was, you know, this really, it was the highlight 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.179 of my life, really, like musical career, I guess. 00:12:34.100 --> 00:12:36.019 Just getting to make that album with those guys. 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:40.950 And there was no... you know, sense of ego. I've 00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:42.409 said this a bunch of times, but there was no, 00:12:42.409 --> 00:12:44.669 there was no sense of ego getting in the way 00:12:44.669 --> 00:12:47.409 of the music or the process. It was just everyone 00:12:47.409 --> 00:12:51.269 went in there to, you know, serve the music. 00:12:51.929 --> 00:12:54.350 And so I would, I would say Matt and Cy especially 00:12:54.350 --> 00:12:59.049 was so good at coming in and not, you know, very, 00:12:59.070 --> 00:13:00.750 very conscious and not treading on toes. You 00:13:00.750 --> 00:13:02.889 know, me and my brother, Tom had, my brother, 00:13:03.009 --> 00:13:05.549 Tom produces all the music or had done up until 00:13:05.549 --> 00:13:09.509 that point. So they were very sensitive to that 00:13:09.509 --> 00:13:11.830 that we we had been sitting on this music and 00:13:11.830 --> 00:13:14.450 they didn't want to you know uh tread on our 00:13:14.450 --> 00:13:19.129 toes or anything um um but i mean we having those 00:13:19.129 --> 00:13:22.070 fresh ears coming in and and giving their you 00:13:22.070 --> 00:13:25.370 know advice and and opinions on things was was 00:13:25.370 --> 00:13:29.149 was massive it's huge thing and yeah having them 00:13:29.149 --> 00:13:31.769 play on the record as well which is great okay 00:13:34.259 --> 00:13:35.879 Beckham Call, that's something of yours we've 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.960 been playing. Tell us about the inspiration behind 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.419 that and how that came about. Well, I mean, that's 00:13:42.419 --> 00:13:44.320 probably one of the darker tunes on the album. 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.220 I think it's that kind of feeling when you wake 00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:49.840 up in the middle of the night and everything 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.460 feels a bit hopeless. I think we've all experienced 00:13:53.460 --> 00:13:56.759 that. Somehow things feel much worse at night 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.100 than they do in the morning, or at least they 00:13:58.100 --> 00:14:03.179 do for me. And you can sort of feel like... Yeah, 00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:07.059 things sort of feel a bit impossible. So yeah, 00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:11.159 definitely not an uplifting track. But overall, 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:14.559 I think the album is an uplifting album. Just 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:20.679 that one song is, yeah. But then the kind of 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.000 the music video, we went out to the Netherlands 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.139 to make the music video to work with some friends 00:14:26.139 --> 00:14:30.759 of mine who are circus performers and aerial 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:34.559 actors. area artists sorry and they also do a 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:36.960 lot of fire tricks and stuff and that was um 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.899 I would really you know recommend people go check 00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:42.100 out the music video because I think that that 00:14:42.100 --> 00:14:45.820 really um sort of sets the scene for the music 00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:49.159 in the best way um I'm hugely proud of that video 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:52.320 actually it just my first time directing and 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.200 and writing a script and then getting to go out 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.279 there and make it um with these insanely talented 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.620 guys I mean Kroningen in the Netherlands where 00:15:00.620 --> 00:15:07.100 we did it is I found out quite well known for 00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:09.240 its circus performance. There's a circus there 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.639 and I didn't know when I went there, I just had 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:14.039 friends that did it. But then they invited a 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.539 bunch of their friends down to join in with the 00:15:16.539 --> 00:15:18.899 video and they can all juggle, they can all do 00:15:18.899 --> 00:15:24.039 fire tricks. It's a crazy place and pretty ideal 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:27.139 for someone like me who's wanting to, you know. 00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:31.480 match music with visuals. Another one we give 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.779 him some spins to is Tribe actually, tell us 00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:38.740 how that one come about. Tribe was sort of more 00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:43.259 of a COVID era tune. I was feeling quite frustrated 00:15:43.259 --> 00:15:49.039 with the social media, what would you call, echo 00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:51.419 chambers that we can sort of find ourselves in 00:15:51.419 --> 00:15:54.460 where the same opinions are just going round 00:15:54.460 --> 00:15:56.419 and round and round and you feel like you can't 00:15:56.419 --> 00:16:02.750 break out of that. So just how, when there is 00:16:02.750 --> 00:16:05.970 an argument going on, and so there are two sides 00:16:05.970 --> 00:16:08.750 to that argument, if you feel on the fence about 00:16:08.750 --> 00:16:12.169 this issue, you can be seen as the enemy, you 00:16:12.169 --> 00:16:15.149 know? I feel like being on the fence about things 00:16:15.149 --> 00:16:19.750 is a valid place to be. It kind of annoys me 00:16:19.750 --> 00:16:23.429 that, you know, we almost... don't look at so 00:16:23.429 --> 00:16:26.330 many things like that as society, you know, you 00:16:26.330 --> 00:16:28.029 need sometimes a bit of time to make your mind 00:16:28.029 --> 00:16:30.929 up about things. And really hard, there's so 00:16:30.929 --> 00:16:33.169 much information, and so much information that 00:16:33.169 --> 00:16:38.870 might not even be, you know, reliable. You know, 00:16:38.889 --> 00:16:41.850 I think I think we need to all be a bit more 00:16:41.850 --> 00:16:46.129 respectful of that and appreciative of that. 00:16:46.909 --> 00:16:49.429 and tribe is almost written from the perspective 00:16:49.429 --> 00:16:53.389 of the uh self -righteous you know like people 00:16:53.389 --> 00:16:56.049 get up on their high horse about things and that 00:16:56.049 --> 00:16:58.730 can feel really good because you're part of this 00:16:58.730 --> 00:17:01.610 tribe you're part of the you know the right side 00:17:01.610 --> 00:17:05.069 quite unquote but i think it can also be you 00:17:05.069 --> 00:17:07.950 know a dangerous place to be because you can 00:17:07.950 --> 00:17:13.529 end up quite a dark a dark place um by being 00:17:14.369 --> 00:17:18.890 by being so confident that you are correct. Okay, 00:17:19.589 --> 00:17:22.829 that's the point. What's next? I mean, what are 00:17:22.829 --> 00:17:25.549 you going to push as a single next from the album? 00:17:27.549 --> 00:17:29.950 What's coming next with the album? Yeah, what 00:17:29.950 --> 00:17:31.809 have you got next for us? Well, we've released 00:17:31.809 --> 00:17:35.750 all the singles, but Stains was the last one, 00:17:36.269 --> 00:17:39.200 but there's a track on there which is... which 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:43.240 is called And If and it's not one I've released 00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:48.240 on any other EPs. And I'd say with that track, 00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:52.039 that's probably the most proud I am of a song 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.440 lyrically. I think it kind of stands alone as 00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:02.619 its own poem, which is nice. And then it just 00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:07.279 kind of came very naturally. Yeah, I mean, I'd 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:09.440 really encourage people to listen to the whole 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:11.539 thing, but I'm excited for people to hear that 00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:15.059 one because it's one that no one's heard before. 00:18:16.019 --> 00:18:18.059 It's a shame that we sort of discovered you towards 00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:20.200 the end of the releases, but anyway, we're here 00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:25.319 to chat. If we were to have a chat this time 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:29.380 next year, six months or even a year, what would 00:18:29.380 --> 00:18:31.180 you like to be telling me that you've achieved 00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:35.140 in that time? What would I like to have achieved? 00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:43.380 I think maybe not one thing specifically, but 00:18:43.380 --> 00:18:47.539 I would just generally like to work more with 00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:50.839 others, collaborate more with other artists. 00:18:52.579 --> 00:18:56.799 A lot of this album was sort of recorded in one 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:58.799 room, at least the demos were, and I spent time 00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:00.400 on my own. And then when it came to getting into 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.940 the studio to record it, I was like, wow, getting 00:19:02.940 --> 00:19:06.319 to work with three other producers and an engineer 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:09.190 is... There's nothing like it when you're in 00:19:09.190 --> 00:19:11.470 that group and you're all in that room together 00:19:11.470 --> 00:19:17.109 working on that thing. So it's really made me 00:19:17.109 --> 00:19:22.970 think about the inception of songs and going 00:19:22.970 --> 00:19:25.109 through that with another artist, rather than 00:19:25.109 --> 00:19:27.190 just on my own and then bringing it to a group, 00:19:28.009 --> 00:19:30.150 coming into more rooms. I mean, I've done a bit 00:19:30.150 --> 00:19:33.720 of that already, but... None of this album's 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:35.519 just got my name on it, you know? I'd love to 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:40.259 release more music alongside another artist. 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:42.079 I think that'd be something I'd really want to 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:44.799 do. Something to look out for and something to 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:46.759 chat about in the future then, so that'd be an 00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:50.799 interesting one. Okay, so social media time. 00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:53.900 Tell all our listeners about your social media, 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.299 how they can discover more about you, and yeah, 00:19:56.700 --> 00:20:00.039 floor's all yours. Well, I've got a website, 00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:03.519 dannyadison .co .uk, and that's where you can 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.880 find all my social media and music. And then 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:09.559 there's a mailing list as well you can sign up 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:13.500 for, where you'll get the latest of what I'm 00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:17.059 up to. Social media wise, I'm on Instagram, TikTok, 00:20:17.259 --> 00:20:21.640 Facebook, and yeah, I've got an ex, but I don't 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:26.160 really use it. And then yeah, I would say I'm 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:28.579 probably most... mostly on Instagram and TikTok 00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:32.740 these days. Yeah, I think that's good enough. 00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:35.279 That's good enough. Okay, well, Danny Anderson, 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:37.380 thank you so much for coming on Chatterbox.
