UK Urban Record Producer, Danny Zuko has set his sights on American. The talented Musician from Birmingham, West Midlands has hit the charts with numerous top ten’s in the UK working with the likes of “The Sugar Babes, Mis-Teeq, The Saturdays, Busted, and JLS” having received acclaim for his vision and technical prowess he now believes he has what it takes to succeed in the US.
We took some time out to interview the star:
You’ve had a fantastic career in the UK; do you feel your music will translate in the US?
“Yes of course, the sounds I create are universal. In fact my main influences come from US Urban Music Scene; I grew up listening to the likes of Biggie Smalls, Jay Z, Nas, Tupac, Snoop Dogg etc so naturally when I create music the sounds of my idols can be heard.”
It is notoriously difficult for UK Musicians to “Make it” in America, but being a Producer and not a singer/songwriter do you think that gives you a better chance to succeed?
“Well I hope so! I mean I can’t guarantee anything – but as long as I have the right representation and a sound people what to listen to then I guess that should be enough. But never can say! I could completely flop and have to fly my tired behind home!”
It’s been rumoured that you are working with Ed Sheeran and Devlin on some new material is this true?
“Well my Management are in talks, and I’m hoping we will be able to do something this year but both artists are incredibly busy being as talented as they are things can be difficult but I definitely hope we can work together soon”
Thanks for talking to us, we wish you all the success both here in the UK and America!
