Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?
It all started when I was 8 years old. I used to sing in my bedroom and keep it to myself because I actually didn’t know I could sing. I just thought I sounded like an artist that I liked at the time. Anyways long story short I started Dalimore as I wanted write and explore myself as an artist.
Exposed Vocals: How did you come up with that name? What was your inspiration behind it?
Dalimore is named after one of my friends. Its his second name. I like the sound of it so I thought to go with it.
Exposed Vocals: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you ever give your music away for free? Why?
I think an online presence is vital in the current Industry. Yeah I often offer people free downloads or competitions where people can get a hold of our stuff for free. I think its very important communication with your fans and giving them a free download is like saying thank you for the support. Totally behind that.
Exposed Vocals: Since everyone was a start-up once, can you give any smaller or local bands or artists looking to get gigs and airplay some tips?
Keep positive. Prepare for knockbacks. I’ve had so many in my life. “Don’t ever give up on the dream because if you do, it will never come true”. That’s my motto in life J
Exposed Vocals: Do you ever make mistakes during performances? How do you handle that?
We are all Human beings so we are gonna make mistakes. Ive made a lot. I think its how you deal with it that matters. I just pretend like its never happened and carry on.
Exposed Vocals: Do you tour? Anything interesting happen on tour that you think our readers would enjoy hearing about?
Touring is a funny thing. I’ve had many hilarious experiences. One of them was playing a festival in Blackpool. We thought it was going to be a massive stage and it turned out to be a castle from a Disney movie. Very funny at the time. It was a great gig though. Audience was brill and we secretly all loved the stage ;).
Exposed Vocals: Where do you usually gather songwriting inspiration? What is your usual songwriting process?
I write from the heart as cheesy as it sounds. I write about experiences that I’ve had, and what my friends have had. I always stay true to myself when writing my material
