David Jordan chats to I Like Music

ILM: You used to work the minimum wage at Starbucks by day and write songs by night and now you're poised for success. What advice would you give to young people on following their dreams to get the career they want for themselves?

DAVID: It sounds naïve and fairytale like to say 'follow your dreams' but when I was young, that's all I ever heard and it's worked. I'm a strong dreamer even now, so follow your dreams, that would be my advice.

ILM: Your album title is set the mood, when you're in a chilled out mood, what will you listen to?

DAVID: Chilling out at home would probably mean candles, incense, to create a soft ambience and a bit of Ray Charles. I usually do that at Christmas. It's a great feeling, being indoors near Christmas with some music playing.

ILM: When it's cold outside and you're all warm inside?

DAVID: Yeah exactly, that's the best feeling

ILM: And what track would you put on to lift your mood?

DAVID: Probably a Bob Marley song.

ILM: Glorious Day, is about when, you fall in love with a friend of yours. The girl doesn't know it's about her....do you think she'll guess?

DAVID: Maybe, who knows? We don't know what the future holds, so maybe. Time will tell I guess. That's funny, because that's a lyric in the song.page << 1 2 3 4 5 6 >>
