Matthew Daniel
English Nu-Soul and Jazz producer. I’m currently producing songs for my first album. There are collaborations with some interesting artists and they are working in the music industry creating Soul music - delicious cosmic soul dust with bass and beautiful poetry & melodies. I have worked on this collaborations album for two or three years. I play keyboard and piano, I’m from the UK, I live in a beautiful part of London where I have a studio to make music and record with artists.
What does music mean to you?
Music is a life line, it isn’t just a hobbie and that passion that I put into making songs not only is positive it’s a vice. I may not be a singer-performer, a lot of big industry people expect musicians to do it all and this idea is unrealistic.
Where does your inspiration come from when creating music?
Usually it comes from a feeling or a song that strikes a chord with me. I don’t always know. Often that happens when I make my favorite songs. I use instruments that compliment each other; I’m working on being a stronger beat maker as far as composition and mixing. I write lyrics and wrote Lose Your Smile lyrics and Attempt Again lyrics. It’s a dream of mine to write and produce with one artist and make a body of work, who knows what will come.
Music Industry advice?
Unless your already working with them nobody has your best interests at heart and I say it from experience. Just focus on making good music and forget about who said what and really focus on getting the songs you like the most out to the right people even if its not listened to it really takes a lifetime to find yourself as a musician and artist.
