How have things changed since you were on the X Factor?
Well since 2009 I have been lucky enough to of played quite a few shows all over the world, Nashville, Italy and Portugal. X Factor helps you to get out there and perform to a lot of people. II had the chance to play many shows that I could buy my mum a house, which is the best thing I've ever done. You've got to love mum!!!
How are you dealing with the fame?
The best way is to not think your famous, if people come up to me I just chat to them like I would to a friend. I get told off by my tour manager for chatting for too long at shows.
Personally, I thought you were going to win X Factor and was completely shocked when you were voted off, what was going through your mind at that time?
To be honest, I was happy I got that far, I didn't mind. At the point it was anyone's competition. We had a great year of talent with the likes of Joe, Stacey and Mr Murs(we have to call him that now, lol diva). 4th place is a good place.
What do you see yourself doing in ten years time?
I would love to be writing songs for other acts then and live in a farm, silly I know but I've always liked the thought of having chickens.
Who is your favourite superhero and why?
I'm a HUGE Superman fan. I even have a tattoo on my right arm. I guess I have always like superman because I like that he can fly away whenever he wants.
Is there anything you would of done differently?
I guess I would of chilled out a bit, the show can be quite stressful at times. You miss your friends and family so much and also your free time.
What is the one thing you cannot live without?
My dog Darcie, she's 10 months old and I love her.
What projects do you have lined up for the future?
Funny you should ask, I've been writing my album in Nashville and Scotland, so hopefully my album, fingers crossed.
Growing up, how did you know that music was the industry you wanted to go in?
Well at first I wanted to be a fireman, haha. But I joined a theatre company when I was 9 and I knew I was a show off!!!!
Have you got any advice for upcoming singers or performers?
Never give up, the only your hope & dreams can happen if you don't give up. You only need 1 YES or 4 YESES in my case!!!!! So that will mean taking in a lot of no's.
Though being ill-reputed for being "cocky" on the show and stuff like that, it really seems so cute that he bought his mom a house! :)
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't cocky on the show, he was brilliant, it was just Cheryl who thought him cocky and she was very wrong!
ReplyDeleteDanyl is not at all cocky he is the most genuine guy and he's so lovely and helpful. Don't believe everything you read in the papers.
