We caught up with Danny Singh, who recently released a track titled “TOXIC” with Colombian producer Lunas, at his release party & rave in Bushwick to unveil the song to his fans. Danny describes his sound as “Punk n B,” a genre-blending fusion of punk rock and R&B, drawing inspiration from artists like André 3000, Sa-Ra, Frank Ocean, and JPEGMAFIA.
Q: Tell us about your newest release, “TOXIC.”
A: This is my first drop with Lunas, and we’re out celebrating it tonight. It’d describe it as my first techno / daze / jungle / dance / R&B release.
Q: Where do you pull the most influence?
A: My inspiration comes more from the R&B / punk scene, while Lunas pulls more of his from the dance scene, so we meet in the middle for our collabs.
Q: Describe your typical creative process.
A: I constantly explore sounds that spark a moment or memory in my head and base my freestyling off of that. My inspiration for creating new music comes from a mix of both life and sounds.
Q: How has your style changed or stayed the same over time?
A: My style has evolved as I’ve gotten older. I look for simpler ways of conveying my message, while at the same time making sure people can dance and feel something when they are listening to my music.
Q: What are you most excited for tonight?
A: I’m excited for the song to finally be out. We’ve been holding onto this gem for a long time so we can’t wait for the world to hear it.
“TOXIC” is available to stream now on all major platforms.
