Arguably on his way to be considered one of the greats—Danny Singh is on a mission to fuse his love for music to create his own genre. If you’ve heard his hit song ‘Prototype‘, you know it’s hard to label this Queens, NYC born singer/songwriter. His music combines blends of R&B, electronica, punk and hip hop into street melodies. With over 1 million streams, views and huge modeling campaigns under his belt, Danny has been stamped as the one to watch. Raised in a closed-knit family, he received tough love from his father who was a former musician and his older brother now his Musical Director. Evidently a unique, but genuine artist, his effort to check on the world through his ‘Are You Ok’ series speaks to his character.
After one conversation with the charming artist it’s clear he’s more than meets the eye. Creating original tunes alongside his two brothers Gabriel and Nathaniel Singh their talents complete the sound of Danny’s performances. The Source sat with Danny and his brothers for a meet and greet at NYC’s hotspot Brooklyn Chop House. Always impeccable service for industry events and fine dining–guests enjoyed delicious asian-inspired bites and cocktails in a serene ambiance. Danny and his creative director Sabrina Kalimian premiered his new video ‘All Mine’ for the intimate crowd. The song grabs you with melody and an old-school ‘Woodstock’ vibe that leaves you to wonder if he’s been here before. With this type of drive and creativity he’s proving he’s here for the long run.
How did you guys find your space in music to fit together?
Danny: I wanted to just play ball for sure. Like, I was not trying to be in a band. I’d just be outside of the park man, smoking… But I do know, like, like, deep down, I was like, I have a calling. And I need to stick to this. Because it came natural, you know? And as I got older, I was in high school. I joined a punk band and all that. So we just kind of like I had to be part of it. Like, even if I wasn’t doing it with them, I’m just around creative kids in school. So it was like, I just found my way there somehow.
What drew each of you to a particular instrument?
Danny: I picked up the saxophone because I always liked melody, like, you know. And as I get older, like now I’m the vocalist, and I’m writing all the songs and stuff. So every time all I need is to hear a beat or a sample. I’m just like punching in words pretty much like I don’t even write anymore. Because like, the melodies are just there, you know, when you just hear it sound. It’s like, oh, no, I can just go off for days. Yeah, that’s me. And I love bass to like a groovy baseline as people move in. And that’s what I’m all about, you know.
Melody is important when it comes to the breakdown and percentages, did you guys factor that when you chose to do everything?
Gabriel: That’s the thing we were kind of getting bad at it. Because we were so interested in getting good at music all the time. Yeah, to figure out how to make any kind of money as far as sharpening our skills and getting nice with the keys I tried playing guitar also later on. That was just what it was.
How are you guys able to balance girls and work?
The ones who get it, they get it. You know, like, that’s just what it comes down to. Like, it’s not an easy job. I’m not going to say that…it looks cool on Instagram. This really takes work, you know, takes a lot of time..
(Gabriel interjects,) Not even just dedication. This is more like knowing what you’re about. And also knowing like, man, there’s so many other people out here that want the same thing. Dude, that’s really what this is…. so competitive, really competitive. Because we understand what kind of stuff is being played out there and the kind of time people put in. There’s guys that when you’re sleeping are still working. Like if you’re officially going to bed, they are in the studio still making beats and making music while you’re sleeping in the bed. (all laugh)
Danny: It’s like the gym, you know, you gotta be consistent. Like if you’re not consistent, not gonna see those gains, you know?
Thoughts on AI?
Now we have stuff like BandLab where you could get like, I wouldn’t say like the highest quality, but you can get like studio quality sound or sh*t off your phone. You know, like imagine competing with a kid who knows how to use the make some Drake type shit on his phone? Like, he’s just putting that out. You got to compete with that now, you know? Technology is at a high pace right now.
Definitely Ye. The Yeezus album? People said that album was so bad now years later it’s one of the most influential albums. Sonically. He made that risk to take to go put that stuff out…I know like the stuff he says it’s crazy, but like he knows about a lot of things, he knows like the fallbacks people, the people who help you allies, the snakes everybody. So I listen to him.
Get into Danny Singh and check out the debut video of his instant love song ‘All Mine’ below!
Multi-platinum rapper/producer Vic Mensa has released “Eastside Girl,” his third major song of the year, via Roc Nation. Vic teamed with fellow Grammy-nominated rapper, singer, and producer Ty Dolla $ign for the house-influenced anthem, tapping into his long running love affair with the genre that began with his evergreen fan favorite 2014 single “Down On My Luck” (he recently showcased his skills as a DJ in a clip where he mashed up the two songs here). Speaking of the innate chemistry of the collaboration Vic states, “Ty is one of my favorite musicians and people to collaborate with. I pulled up to his studio to give him some of my weed brand 93BOYZ and he was working on a bunch of House music. I’ve been wanting to return to House ever since I made ‘Down On My Luck’ so it just made a lot of sense. Ty had played the guitar line already and it was giving me a surf-rock vibe so I started going a California direction with the lyrics then I programmed some House drums and samples. We were really just smoking and vibing and Eastside Girl is what came out.”
Vic Mensa has just dropped his third major song of the year, titled “Eastside Girl,” under Roc Nation. Teaming up with fellow Grammy-nominated artist Ty Dolla $ign, the duo delivers a house-influenced anthem that harks back to Vic’s enduring love for the genre, which first manifested in his beloved 2014 single “Down On My Luck.”
Accompanying the single is a captivating music video directed by Danielle Alston and creatively overseen by Vic himself. In a playful and humorous twist, Vic portrays a pool hustler trying to charm a group of girls, but fate has a different plan for him. Shot in a pool hall on Chicago’s far west side, the video pays homage to “The Color of Money” and was inspired by a real-life game of pool played by Ty and Vic in Ty’s studio.
“Ty is one of my favorite musicians and people to collaborate with,” Vic said of the collaboration. “I pulled up to his studio to give him some of my weed brand 93BOYZ and he was working on a bunch of House music. I’ve been wanting to return to House ever since I made ‘Down On My Luck’ so it just made a lot of sense. Ty had played the guitar line already and it was giving me a surf-rock vibe so I started going a California direction with the lyrics then I programmed some House drums and samples. We were really just smoking and vibing and Eastside Girl is what came out.”
Adding more allure to the release, the single’s cover art features international supermodel and jewelry designer Adesuwa, with whom Vic has collaborated for his upcoming album since their meeting in Accra in 2021. Adesuwa sports a unique grill designed by Alligator Jesus, and the fans had the final say in selecting the cover art through a poll on Vic’s Instagram.
With “Eastside Girl,” Vic Mensa once again proves his creative prowess, fusing captivating music with visually stunning artistry to captivate his audience and solidify his place in the music industry.
