Here is his interview with The Edit LDN.

For those who don’t know you yet, can you tell our audience who is Daecolm?

I’m one of those kids you hear about through your musician friends at the moment, I like to agree with those that feel I’m a “best kept secret” antidote for music especially in the Hip Hop and RnB world. Other than that, just a regular kid coming from the plains of Africa living life in London!

How would you describe your music?

I’m all about RnB, that's the foundation for anything I create. I love to fuse RnB with every and any genre, can never go wrong with RnB music!! I don’t even want to set any expectations for people that read this, I want to be just as surprised by whatever I do myself as anybody who listens to my music would too... Hopefully!!

You’ve worked with some big names. Who has been your favourite person to work with?

I think everyone is different and I have different reasons for different people. Working with A-list artist is great but can also come with a lot of challenges and hurdles to jump through to get to the finish line of having a release with them. I love working with new hungry artists too that can be developed.

What can you tell us about working with RnB superstars Mario and Chris Brown?

I think it's an amazing opportunity and experience to say I have done so. You learn so much from them as individuals but you also realise like yo, these people are also human beings! Very relatable and driven to music and success! I’ve grown a lot individually with my own music from being around artists of their calibre. 

For those chasing the same dream, how did you get into the music industry and do you have any advice for any aspiring singers that might be reading this?

I would honestly say don’t ever let defeat defeat you!! Sometimes when the moments are the hardest, is when success is just on the other side of that wall. You just need to get passed that blockage or discouragement.. Be individual, be crazy, it's ok to have the most insane nuts ideas that nobody believes will work. Often people will tell you things won't work because they can't see it themselves. It's okay to take criticism and other peoples perspectives on board but it's also okay to realise it's just their opinion.

Honestly just a lot more content. More work, more love. I love to show how passionate I am about my work, I love to song write for others whilst working on my own stuff! I have been thinking about developing an artist too!
