Monday 27th August
While on her interview on 7 Days In America, Danielle discussed her success and her future.
How does it feel being number 1 on albums, singles and downloads?
It is fantastic and it really didn't hit me until two days ago. I feel so happy and I'm proud to have achieved two goals of mine.
Are you surprised by your success? Yes. I had tough competition and i thought there is no way i am going to achieve number 1 but then it happened. I am more surprised by single success as i thought by it's third week that it would slide down the chart but it didn't.
This Is Me has been number 1 on Itunes for almost a week, is that giving hope for a second week at the top spot?
It is alot, but the chart on Itunes changes almost every hour or so but I'm not sure but it's nice to know my song is doing well overall.
What do you have planned next?
I'm going to be taking a break this week as i have been working hard for the almost five months. Four months finishing the album and three weeks promoting. I'm going on holiday this week, chill out, come back and go back to work.
What will be that work?
Well, LC Records have been so impressed with my song writing skills, they would like me to write songs for upcoming artists which made my day when i was told that as it made me feel i have more skills than my singing.
That must be great, could you end up being the next timbaland, but female?
Oh no way, (laughs), it's all about helping people out and doing something i like, not to be the next big songwriter.
Speaking of Timbaland, i hear you have connections with him. Yes i do, i would say we are friends, not good ones yet but he is a great and talented guy and he has offered to help me explore of my songwriting skills.
Will you and him be making music together in the future?
No, to be honest, i don't really like having other people help me write and produce music and i like to have full control and i just like for my work to be by me only. The same for collaborations. The only person i will ever work with is Louie C, the head of LC Records.
What else do you have planned for the coming future?
My next single which is called Take Control. It's about how record labels never let their artists have full control in their music. I feel this song is a good message to put across for artists who want to have control and for the record labels to let them do so. After that, i will be preparing for my tour which i hope to start next year.
How about taking yourself worldwide?
I have been thinking about that alot, but my contract at the moment is for only in the U.S only but i hope to soon.
Well that is all we have time for, thank for coming for being our guest of the day and good luck for the future.
Thank You and Thanks for having me on the show
