LiES & BUTTERFLiES by DANiCA HUNTER

This is my debut EP, 'LiES & BUTTERFLiES'- it's all about transformation - the journey from pain to reward - from teenager to young adult - from aspiring artist to the real hard world of music. We are told lots of untruths in so many ways - and then we discover that we're very much alone in the world - our discovery is unique - this is a challenging part of our lives.

Butterflies represent transformation/change for me. I feel that I've started that journey. I love this sound that I've been working on, of soft hip hop, soul and pop with a little jazzy edge - trumpets, drums, organs, strings, violins - part pop but with an underlying retro feel - but more than anything I try to put myself into the vocals in a way that is true to me. As for the lyrics - they come straight from the heart and when I sing them I can get across that emotion because the passion behind the words is already there.

I've always enjoyed the mix and experimentation of modern music with a retro sound so there's a little Hollywood feel in some of the tracks which also inspired my photoshoot for this album. Combining the best of old and new.

Help me on my journey by valuing my work enough and PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION to allow me to continue creating music and videos you will love, with your support!

released June 22, 2014

I would like to thank my producers, MARRiK 'LAYDEN DEFT' SHEARER and DUBROCCA. I'd especially like to thank my manager of the past two years, DARiUS MALiK who I first met at BBC Introducing Masterclass at Abbey Road Studios. Finally, I want to thank all those who have believed in me.

This EP was made on a very small budget - more from blood, sweat and tears of my manager, my producers, and myself and those who had belief in me. I would also like to thank MY FAMiLY (especially my mum) who have unshakeable belief in me. Last, but not least, my FRiENDS/SUPPORTERS who have believed in me from the start.

I have been amazed by the number of people who have helped me along my path in an industry where they say only money talks. I have found kindness after kindness from all those who in the industry who helped me - and from far too many people to name. It is this belief from so many that has driven me forward, because without these people, this would be a much harder and more lonely journey.
