Your name:
Daniel Grey.
Where are you from?
Rome, Italy.
Name of band:
South Estate.
Who else is in your band?
Marco Pisano
(bass), Hervé le Feuvre (lead guitar), Tom Baylem (cello and BVs) and Owen
Schofield (Drums).
How would you describe yourselves and your music?
We call
ourselves an alternative folk-rock band, but to be honest I am influenced by a
whole bunch of different styles and our stuff is very diverse as a result. It's
always lyrically-driven and melodic though.
Who are your main influences musically?
Many! Here's just
a few that we love at the moment - Abigail Washburn, Beta
Radio, Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst, Dry the River, The Family
Crest, First Aid Kit, Freelance Whales, Half Moon Run, Isbells,
Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker, Kill it Kid, Little Green Cars, Lucy Rose, Nico
Vega, Sarah Jarosz, Swear and Shake, Will Knox.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
Of course we are
looking to play the big London gigs, but the most important thing for us is to
get our music out there. We don't write songs simply because they are catchy -
we aim to craft meaningful music that will truly resonate with people.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
We've played some great gigs around London already - such as at the
Hippodrome Casino in March and the O2 Academy Islington in May this year. And
recording our debut single (released date 25th July) was such fun too.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Probably
forgetting the lyrics to Hillbrook Road at our first gig together as a band in
2014! It hasn't happened since, thank goodness.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
It's always such a difficult question
- but I think possibly Collect Them in Your Drawers.
Where can we listen to it?
