Daniel McGuinness is a singer-songwriter from London, UK. Drawing influence from folk, rock, pop and beyond, he pairs catchy melodies with thought-provoking lyrics, delivered with warm and passionate vocals.
Influences include The Goo Goo Dolls, Lifehouse, Noel Gallagher, David Gray, James Blunt and Matt Nathanson.
Daniel has spent the last two years writing, recording and performing around London and the southeast of England, and has received consistent airplay on local and regional radio and television, including BBC Introducing and KMTV. He is also a two-time finalist in the prestigious UK Songwriting Contest.
Across 8 releases (which includes recent singles My Lifeand Right Next To Me plusLive at Beechsound Studios; and a cover of Coldplay’s iconic song The Scientist), Daniel has achieved nearly 7,000 monthly listeners, a impressive figure: especially when you consider this has been built up through word of mouth.
The new single, Make Today Your Home is due for release on Friday 12th January and it’s a beautifully crafted song, that is folk-rock genre.
The song takes you on a journey and the vocal is packed full of emotion and warmth that will capture the listener’s attention as the lyrics provide encouragement to live in the moment and not ponder on what has happened in the past or what may happen in the future.
“As someone who often romanticises about the past, I wrote “Make Today Your Home” to remind myself that the here and now is the only thing that truly matters. Yesterday has been and gone, and tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet, so there is no use in worrying too much about either – real happiness comes from being present and in the moment”
Daniel McGuinness on Make Today Your Home
The skill that Daniel has as a musician is on full display on Make Today Your Home and had my attention from the beginning. From the emotive vocal, the finger picking on the acoustic guitar is outstanding and is supported with soft drum stokes and an infectious guitar riff shows a master at work.
Make Today Your Home is a hypnotic song that contains thought provoking lyrics and a catchy melody that will leave you wanting more and see Daniel emerge as one of the most promising singer-songwriters on the new music scene.
Make Today Your Home is released on Friday 12th January 2024 and can be pre-saved here.
