Interview with Daniel Leggs
We had the pleasure of interviewing Daniel Leggs over Zoom video!
Rising alt-pop singer-songwriter-producer Daniel Leggs is celebrating his signing to Overall Recordings/Atlantic Records with today\u2019s release of his long-awaited debut EP, runaway, available now at all DSPs and streaming services.
The final installment in a remarkable series of new releases unveiled on the 22nd of each month, runaway collects warm-hearted tracks like the previously unheard \u201cparasite\u201d alongside such fan favorites as \u201csausalito,\u201d \u201cgatsby,\u201d \u201cstay in my dreams,\u201d \u201cticket home\u201d (co-written with 6x RIAA platinum-certified singer-songwriter Garrett Nash), and the viral favorite, \u201ccrutches\u201d.
\u201cThis project is super honest,\u201d says Daniel Leggs. \u201cFor me, the music is about relating to people and then entertaining them with the quirky storybook we\u2019ve created. It\u2019s like Harold and the Purple Crayon\u2026but if it wasn\u2019t a kid\u2019s book. One thing I love about \u2018parasite,\u2019 \u2018crutches,\u2019 and the EP as a whole is that there are wild ups and downs. Sometimes the music feels sad, but then there\u2019s always this general feeling of hope. That\u2019s just how being young and figuring things out is. Sometimes things aren\u2019t so hot, and sometimes you feel like the world is yours. Hope everyone enjoys listening through!\u201d
In a world of emotional uncertainty, music is the only thing Daniel Leggs is sure of. Growing up as a concert-trained pianist too shy to express himself in daily life beyond gratitude and kindness, the 23-year-old tunesmith has found himself via a series of intimate, ingenious pop ditties which expertly capture the ups, the downs, the heartbreak, and longing for something more of a gifted young artist making his way in 21st Century New York City. Written, recorded, mixed, and mastered in a central Rhode Island basement studio, Leggs\u2019 budgeted studio model produces a distinctive sound that combines relatable lyrics with experimental imperfections to manifest something beautiful and all his own.
Leggs kicked off 2023 with his most tender track to date, \u201clast one standing,\u201d joined by an official live performance video \u2013 filmed in Daniel\u2019s kitchen. Now, with the arrival of his Overall/Atlantic debut EP, Daniel Leggs is telling the runaway story of his daydreams, one perfect pop song at a time.
