Your name:
Dan.
Where are you from?
Where are you from?
From all corners of England actually: London, Edinburgh,
Bradford and Somerset. We’re mainly based in London.
Name of band:
Name of band:
Starling.
Who else is in your band?
Craig (drums), Sol (bass) and Vanessa (keys).
How would you describe yourselves?
We’re a four-piece anthemic rock band with an orchestra next door.
Who are your main influences musically?
We all come from such different backgrounds musically, I come from a rock background but I am greatly influenced by Bob Dylan, Elgar, The Ink Spots, Aretha Franklin, Chopin, Jimi Hendrix, Liszt, The Beatles, Nirvana, Dvorak, Rage Against The Machine, U2, Peter Gabriel, Incubus, John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Miles Davis, Debussy, just to name a few.
Although I also feel that all things inspire your own expression of art from the books that I read to the sculptures that I enjoy all expand the space within to cultivate ideas. In the band we have Vanessa who comes from a film music background and brings the John Hopins and Thomas Newman influences, Craig who also comes from a rock background and Sol who is too big to fit in any bracket.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
My personal dream is to live out my fullest potential as a person and spend my time doing things that I do best which is writing and recording music, as long as I can do that with integrity then I have won.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Dan: Just before going on stage to do the album launch of ‘Public Service’ the crowd were chanting our name and we came out and played my favourite ever show.
Vanessa: We all had a shared moment of, “This might just be the best time of our lives” when we were living and recording the album at Parr St Studios. It was fulfilling in every way even before anyone had heard the material.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Last year when we were stolen from and lied to by members of the music industry.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
Lights is a good example that covers most aspects of our sound and it’s all about how when the s**t hits the fan, you know who your friends are.
