Countdown Is Commencing

Hi Everybody
Firstly i would like to thank everybody for their constant support and lovely messages, i am truly honoured to have such nice things said about me and i will never tire of reading them over and over again. Since i last updated you all on what has been happening i have been in the studio working on songs for my album which i hope to release in the very near future. I have been in talks with various management and record/cd producers and am now very comfortable with the way things are panning out. The album details will be announced on this site very soon and i would welcome all opinions on songs etc that you would like to hear for the future as i want to make the recording process in the future a more collective process taking into consideration what people like to hear and not just what i want to put out. So many times musicians try things that are different from previous work that people have bought and loved to listen to and although change is a natural progression i will not want to be moving to far away from what i am being told by all of you that you would like to listen to. Please feel free to email the site with any links etc you have to songs that you like and i will take on board all of your suggestions and then hopefully come up with songs that will be enjoyed by everyone as you will all have a part to play in the process. I will continue to write songs that mean so much to me but i really want to take on board ideas from all of you.
Also i am over the moon that my song Get Ready To Roar has had national radio airplay!!!! It is very different in style to the other songs that i have written and i am hoping that with it i can show versatility and that i have a fun loving side to me as well!! It is a real feel good song and i hope that people will be singing it while they cheer on England in the World Cup this summer!!!! Its a song for the whole nation to get behind!!!!
It will hopefully be put before the public soon on Talksport for people to vote for as the anthem that they choose and then will be used by the Station as its signature anthem also for their coverage of the event!!
Thank you all once again for your constant support and i will be updating you VERY SOON as to when the album will be available to pre-order and buy.
Take care of yourselves and please don/t forget to send any links or suggestions
Lots Of Love
Daryl

Happy New Year to you All

Hi Everybody
Sorry its been a while since my last update (it won't happen again!!!)
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all and I hope this year brings you all good luck and prosperity in everything you do.
I would also like to thank all the Portuguese speaking people who have viewed my youtube audition giving it over 10 times more hits than any of the other X Factor Auditionees!! 220,000 and counting
I have been writing a lot more songs recently as the snow has stopped me from going out a lot. These include some more Up Tempo tunes as well.
I will be going into the studio again next week to start creating the se with the amazing Simon from Loophole Studios in Brighton "Thank you so much for what you have done already Simon and I look forward to what we will be creating this year!!!!"
I really would like to say a massive thank you to all the lovely comments I get from everybody too!! I know I've said it before but I really can't explain to you all what if feels like to get such lovely comments of support and encouragement from you all, I promise I will always do my best and try my hardest to make great songs and get them out to you first before anyone else.
I would also like to say a huge thank you to Ron my web designer for making such a great website and constantly keeping everything running smoothly, especially as he is constantly having to increase the bandwidth for the site due to so many people visiting it and listening to the song clips, watching videos etc.
I will hopefully have some more songs up on the player in the very near future and am very confident that major things will be happening in the next month or so, so please keep visiting the site for updates and please SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!
Take care of yourselves Each And Everyone Of You
Love

VIDEOS AND PHOTOSHOOTS

Hi Everyone
Firstly a massive thank you to everybody!!! and for all the kind emails that you are sending me!!!
I am getting emails from all corners of the globe now and therefore we are going to get the website put in different languages so that everybody can read it easier!!
Since my last update i have been recording in the studio and have finished another couple of tracks that will soon be put up on the site for you all to have a quick listen to and i would appreciate any feedback (kind preferably but also if there are things that you don't like please feel free to say!!)
I have also been lucky enough to do a videoshoot for 2 songs and i am hopeful that these will also be able to be seen on here very soon aswell. It was a very cold day and the wind was very strong but it set the perfect mood for one of the songs and although i loved doing it, it was a welcome relief to shoot the second video inside in a theatre.
My world cup song has been handed out to some very influential people and i should hear back soon with hopefully some good news but rest assure it will definitely be out next year come world cup time!!!! That is for sure!!!!
I hope you are all doing well and looking forward to Christmas and i'll keep you all updated on how things are progressing in the next week !!!
Take Care

Hi Everyone
Sorry its been a while since i last updated you on whats been happening.
Its been a mad few weeks with trips up to London seeing various people but i think that very soon things will start to happen and that i will have some positive news for you all soon.
I have had some meetings with some very important people in the business and thats all i can say at the moment but they liked me and liked what i wanted to achieve and we both shared the same ideas of what to do next.
Also the football song seems to be gathering momentum now and i hope that very soon i can also give you some news on what will be happening with it.
I have also managed to fit in some valuable studio time aswell and have recorded another couple of songs that i hope to get up on the site within the next week for you to have a listen to and hopefully give some feedback on as it is really down to you to let me know wether or not you approve.
I have had a lot of positive feedback for the songs so far and am hopeful that i will get more when the are put out for you all to listen to.
I am also hoping to shoot my first video in the next week or so and will see if i am able to put it up on the site!!!!
I hope to give you all some good news very soon and apologise sincerely for being so vague in this update but i don't want to tempt fate just yet.
I'll be letting you all know as soon as i find out anything
Take Care

I was delighted to receive a letter of thanks this week from The Father Ray Foundation in Thailand thanking me for helping them with a donation of toys and gifts that I sent them recently.
Thanks are not needed really as this is a very worthy cause that helps Orphaned children and also children whose lives have been ruined by Aids etc.
The staff there work tirelessly for the benefit of these children and the effect it has on the children can clearly be seen.
I am hoping to travel to Thailand next year to perform at a charity concert in January raising money for Children and Families affected by Aids and am at the moment awaiting confirmation on this.
Also the song that I have written for next year's World Cup is gathering momentum now and has been sent to some very influential people so we'll wait and see the outcome and of course you will all be informed FIRST!!!

Hello Everyone
I would first like to say a massive thank you to everyone that turned up at The Bridge Newhaven on Thursday night to the Cancer Awareness Fundraiser. I really enjoyed myself and it was a pleasure to be there, i met so many lovely people and would like to give the BIGGEST SHOUT OUT to Sue who is a very brave young woman and has the most fantastic friends who all did a great job in her name, and also another big shout to lovely little Maddison who was very brave in having her pony tail cut off!! WELL DONE!!
I never get tired of doing anything that can raise money and awareness of the horrible word that is CANCER and hope one day that the world will be rid of this dreadful disease. Be Strong Sue!!!! you have the most amazing family and friends and i have no doubt in my mind that you will come through and BEAT IT!!!
As i said if there's anything you ever want me to do please don't hesitate to ask!!
I was also invited by the lovely Carole Stear from Seahaven FM to the opening night of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat at The White Rock Theatre in Hastings where i ws invited backstage to meet Joseph Played by Craig Chalmers who was a finalist in the BBC show Any Dream Will Do, he was a really nice guy and had time for everyone that came backstage to see him.
I have sent a letter to Victoria Wing the marketing manager of The FA regarding my song and hopefully will hear back from her early next week.
I'll keep everyone informed with how things go as soon as i hear anything but for now its back to the studio for more recording
Take Care
Daryl
