Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ LaFamos Press) Daniel Robinson shows fans another side to his personality with introspective music video for his single "Not Your Boy." Pairing his electronic beats with his heart-felt lyrics describing the constraints of a past love,
Daniel Robinson proves he isn't owned by anyone. The 2012
John Lennon Songwriting Contest winner released his sophomore EP, Guesswork in 2013 since then it has taken off like wildfire. Each song reveals more about the inner workings of Daniel's life and his daily struggles. Evil comes in many forms; in Daniel's case it was wrapped up in the form of a suffocating ex-boyfriend. The strength in this young musician's artistic choices and dedication to sharing what is on his heart continues to shine through in the new video "Not Your Boy" streaming on YouTube.
With an all-around artist like
Daniel Robinson, it is inevitable that new sides of him will show as he grows as a musician. "Not Your Boy" displays
Daniel breaking away from the shackles of a destructive person trying to hold him back and led him down an immoral road. Inspired by a toxic relationship, the song was written in his moment of clarity. He shouts, "I'm not walking in the way you wanted." Breaking out of a hold and proclaiming that, "I'm not your boy" gives this song a sense of independence as he belongs to no one.
Daniel says the "song is about finding my way out of the box I got myself into." This self-empowerment is present within the lyrics as well as visually in his latest music video. Determined to once again surpass expectations,
Daniel Robinson's music video, directed by Mary Dietrich, explores the good-versus-evil theme visually and sonically. In sugar skull makeup, the life-enthusiast and pizza lover,
Daniel Robinson shows that evil is always behind you and wanting to steal your thunder. Transforming the video to black and white, which illustrates in an instant that positive light radiance, can be lost to the darkness.
From the very beginning,
Daniel Robinson was fascinated by music and it became a stimulating outlet for his limitless creativity bubbling within. During his teen years, he made his craving for music known and took every spare moment he had to practice, even resorting to playing the guitar or ukulele in the cafeteria. Attempting to hone his musical skills, he enlisted in the school choir and theater, where he expanded his musical knowledge and learned that he wanted his musical route to be different. As he tried different avenues and genres,
Daniel became fascinated by the lyrical content and sound of artists like LIGHTS, Bjork, and Crystal Castles. His electro-pop music mixed with lyrics covering the trials and feelings of love and heartbreak make this New York artist one of a kind.
Captivating audiences with each release of his art,
Daniel is getting closer and closer to his musical goals. There is a reason why iHeartRadio names
Daniel as an Artist To Watch and he has no signs of slowing down. See it for yourself at www.IAmDanielRobinson.com where you can stay up on the latest from this electronic-pop sensation.
