The article: Interview with Daniel Rawlings

Cool, calm and collected are the words to describe Daniel Rawlings as he strolls in to this interview, dressed casually wearing jeans and a grey jacket. The indie/rock star best known for his song titled flame of passion, tells us about where he gets inspiration from, Pixie Lott, his trademark tattoo, his latest album and producing with XXXXXXXXXXXX.

Dan’s hard work, passion and determination for music have catapulted Dan into the music industry as one of the best Indie/rock musicians out there. His sudden rise of fame comes from having a number one album and number one single.

We start off by talking about where he gets his inspiration from; he tells us that his feelings influence his writing as he likes to express himself through his music. His inspiration for his well-known love songs come from the pop princess Pixie Lott. The pair started dating recently, he tells us that they are thinking of doing a duet together, and we think that collaboration will go straight to number one as both have many number ones under their belt already.
