Brought up in grassroots Aotearoa, Dan is a man of substance, dedication and one who prioritises authenticity. His commitment to his craft as an artist, songwriter and music producer runs deep and the results speak for themselves.
2019’s self-produced single, ‘Kindle and Coal’ (500,000+ Spotify streams), displayed Dan’s ability to deliver impact and vulnerability akin to modern international’s, Lewis Capaldi and Dermot Kennedy, while maintaining his Springsteen-esque timelessness. This recipe has seen Dan Sharp’s name on stages all over the country, including Rhythm and Vines, Soundsplash, touring with Thomas Oliver and opening up for Dave Dobbyn, among others.
It s New Zealand Music Month; the concept still seems a bit strange to me.
I get the idea of course. Lest New Zealand music be lost in the glut of overseas sounds let s set aside a particular month to just focus on the local. Something like Maori Language Week.
In reaction people often point out that every month (or week) should be those things. Fair enough too. But I guess if NZ Music Month means that record labels here are going to push their local signings a bit more then there s nothing wrong with it.
As to whether acts not on record labels (i.e. ninety eight per cent of New Zealand bands) releasing music in New Zealand Music Month is a good idea, I d probably say no. The increased advertising from record labels tends to eclipse smaller releases so, ironically, independent bands are probably be best avoiding NZMM.
