Music Monday: Who That?








He left his hometown of Melbourne for Downtown NYC at the age of 23. Daniel Paul Merriweather grew up in the poorer part of Melbourne, Australia. Growing up, he would get himself into dangerous and violent situations. He never graduated high school and after working at KFC for a couple months, decided that wasnt the route he wanted to take either---thats where he decided to try his hand at music.

Music had always been a part of his life; he began playing the violin at age four and he always sung. He was signed to Marlin records in Australia and ended up deciding to not release the album he had been working on due to his and the labels conflicting views. After meeting Mark Ronson, 18 months of writing and touring, and an incident with his vocal cords that could have severley damaged his career, "Art and War" was born.

"Pointless pop culture annoys me, where a record becomes talking fodder or cool for 6 months, then that’s where I choose to bow out!"
