Hello All
I'm Danielle Thomas. Singer/Songwriter/Musiciain.
I'm Danielle Thomas. Singer/Songwriter/Musiciain.
Do you play live?
You can catch me at several spots here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I'm looking to branch out though.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
As a little known artist, the Inernet is helping me reach people with my music that I never would have been able to otherwise. I feed off the energy and creativity others. I find that being able to expose myself to other lesser known artists that you don't hear on the radio is good for me. Often what gets played on-air sounds so much a like. It's refreshing sometimes to hear something different.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
My dream is to sign a publising deal with a major label.
Your influences?
I love the great songwriter's whose music transends time and generations. I think Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" is just as relative today as the day he wrote it. I love Sheryl Crow, Alicia Keys, Gin Blossoms, Carole King, Chico Debarge, Bon Jovi . I love songs that have something to say and touch that part that makes us all human.
Favorite spot?
I love the Julep Room in Ocean Springs, MS. The people there treated me like family since the night I walked in four years ago.
Equipment used:
Me and my guitar
Anything else...?
I think I'm a descent guitar player, but my music is really lyric driven. I write about things that happen to me, to friends, or just about what some drunk guy on bar stool had to say about his philosophy on life. I have a poet's heart. I write what my muse tells me. If I have to force it, it ain't right. I write how I feel in that moment because I realize that when that moment is over, it's gone forever. And the just minute I may not feel the same. I may be in love with you, then I catch you cheating and I hate you. But if I wrote the song before I openned the bedroom door, I've still got a good love song. Then I can write by bashing song, heartbreak song, and finally, the "I'm over you song".
