Introducing - Daniel Lee Kendall
June 9th 2011 01:34
Daniel Lee Kendall could almost be called the "Accidental Musician". The young singer/songwriter from the Central Coast only fell back onto music when Uni and real work never quite worked out. Thankfully, for us, when he did give it music a red hot stab, the results were a collection of beautifully crafted pop melodies. With an EP on the way and a ton of touring planned, DLK had a quick chat to us about inspirations, music and his renewed interest in sport.
“Talk The Night Away” has just been released, tell us a bit about it?
It’s just sort of a selection of songs of a bigger pool of songs that I’d written. My manager, producer and I just tried to choose a bunch that we thought would work well together.
You sort of stumbled into a musical career, how did it all come about?
Well yeah, I guess I never really actively pursued a career in music, but I found I kept coming back to it when other stuff didn’t work. I tried uni and didn’t like it, and little jobs here and there that didn’t stick, and I kinda found myself gravitating towards my guitar. Which eventually lead to singing, and then to song writing.
Where does inspiration come for you?
Pain. Love. Confusion. Boredom. Change. Questions. Eternity. Some weird invisible cloud that rains thoughts/music into your brain when you don’t expect it. People who I admire (and may envy
.
How have you coped with the positive publicity you’ve been receiving online and on Triple J?
It’s been great! More of it I say!
This topic has me interested lately, what can we find you doing away from music?
I’m recently rediscovering my love for sport. I used to only ever think of sport. Then music came into my life and I thought to be cool and arty I had to do only cool arty things. But at the moment I’m playing indoor cricket, oz tag and squash, and loving it.
What would be the first track you’d put onto a mix tape?
Right now: It’s alright ma (I’m only bleeding) by Dylan.
