DALEY ONE OFF LONDON SHOW @ LONDON ISLINGTON ASSEMBLY HALL
After touring with the likes of Miguel, Emeli Sande, Gorillaz and label mate Jessie J, Daley has gone on to sell out his own tours all over the UK, Europe and the USA, expanding his audience and picking up fans from the likes of, Maxwell and Jill Scott, to Will.i.am and Pharrell Williams along the way. DALEY is back for a one off show at London Islington Assembly Hall on the 9th December.
Growing up in Manchester, England, with little around to stimulate or opportune his talent, Daley spent time taking in the greats of yesterday and today, nurtured by US and UK sounds growing up. Influenced by the likes of Prince, D’Angelo and Soul II Soul to the sparse experimental sonics of Sade, Radiohead and Imogen Heap, Daley amalgamated a unique sound all his own.
At 24, the UK singer- songwriter is well on his way to redefining the way heartfelt music and songwriting looks, sounds and feels.
“I want my music to feel of its time” the young artist divulges “I sometimes refer to it as ‘future-throwback-soul’… everything I write is very much rooted in a feeling, the kind you get from throwback R&B and Soul that I grew up around… then sonically I try to take that and bring it a into the future.”
He first perked mainstream ears writing the Gorillaz 2010 chart hit, ‘Doncamatic’ after a mutual friend introduced Gorillaz creator Damon Albarn to his music at one of his early London shows. Radio plays on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra plus guest spots writing, featuring and touring with UK artists including Wretch 32, Emeli Sande and Jessie J - all this eventually paved way for Daley’s first solo project, the independently released ‘Those Who Wait’ mixtape.
His first official release the ‘Alone Together ’ EP came shortly after, furthering his rise with first Stateside single, new-classic R&B jam ‘Alone Together ’ featuring Grammy nominated Marsha Ambrosius which became a Top 5 Urban radio hit. The US debut EP also garnered Daley ‘Best Newcomer ’ nominations from BET, Centric, SoulTrain Awards and the MOBOs, made him one of BBC 1Xtra’s most shared acts to date, and has racked up over 16 million YouTube/VEVO views with live performances and music videos, including Jessie J assisted duet, ‘Remember Me’.
Daley's latest release ‘Days & Nights’ out now on Republic Records.
