We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Daniel John a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Daniel, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
The most meaningful project that I worked on this year has to be ‘Bad Connection’. With today’s world being sprung on technology, I combined retable and relevant topics with video game like imagery and sounds to resonate with the audience. This project mean’t a lot because it was truly how I felt during the time and we created a well – planned roll out. It is one of my most successful projects thus far.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Daniel John and I am a singer, songwriter, and recording artist based in Atlanta, Ga. My music consists of R&B, Hiphop, Pop, and Reggae. I was first introduced to music through my dad (who is a former reggae artist and producer). I grew up watching him play his guitar and keyboard and my love for it grew ever since. 5 years in the industry, I’ve sung, written, and released projects that include artists like Buju Banton, Pressure Busspipe, Beenie Man, Jae Mazor, Akeem Ali, and many others. I have also won 2nd place in the 2020 Music Hustler Award from the Hollywood Music & Media Academy . My website, Danieljohnofficial.com, has all my latest releases, merchandise, updates on shows and events, consults, and booking information available.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
In this year alone, I’ve grown over 20,000 followers on Facebook and almost 100,000 followers on TikTok. The key to building an audience on social media was to stay consistent in releasing content and making sure the content was quality and matched the music behind it. A lot of my songs are stories so I created POV’s or story like videos to visualize the music.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My goal in this creative journey is to be the bridge between people who struggle to express themselves and their emotions. It is important for me to know that regardless of how many followers I gained or the streams I got, that I was able to touch people and change lives for the better, giving them the ability to find themselves through the music.
