Interview to Dale Frost

Hi Dale, welcome in AFX. What are a few words that would best describe you and your musical world?

A few words to describe the World of Dale Frost would be pop, disco, and angsty.

How do you come up with ideas for new songs?

The inspiration for my songs are real life experiences. “I Don’t Wanna Be Your Friend” was written in the aftermath of a situationship that I’d invest a month and a half in… and he ended it with “I think I just wanna be friends”…. Well, I don’t… so alot of the songs from the project follow a single man dating in his 30s.

What is your preferred method of writing and producing music, alone or in a team?

There is a magnificent team in my corner, I work with a production team MAGNA, I send him random ideas or inspiration and he puts it all to a fantastic beat, then the writing for this project was done by me and a very great friend, Stephen Lind, who is an artist himself. Majority of this upcoming record has been written with him and I am so excited for these songs to get out into the world.

What are some of the challenges you face as an artist/musician?

The biggest challenge for me is having a message and wanting to convey it in a way that people will relate to. Writing is such a weird thing because there are things I want to keep to myself, but I believe belong out in the world.

What are some of your favourite songs to play live?

I’ve yet to do a live show, but, it is on my list of things to do and I’ve practiced regularly in my car. I’d have to say CMAT - Stay for Something or really anything in the Rachel Stevens catalogue.

If you had one message to give to your fans, what would it be?

It’s crazy, I am such a small artist, but a lot of my friends will see me out and ask when something new is coming, or DM me complimenting to my older releases, the only thing I can say is — thank you for believing in me in any capacity.

Where do you see your career in five years as a singer-songwriter?

I’m not much of a planner so I don’t see things that far in advance but I’d like to have a lot more music out, and churn it out quicker than I have been, but I’d like a lot more music out, doing festivals, gigs, and seeing people passionately screaming words that I’ve written back to me.
