Listen "Chatting with Daniel James"
Episode Synopsis
As one-half of Yell, actor and singer Daniel James knows a thing or so about working a crowd. He started out as a cheerleader on Top of the Pops!
With a failed attempt to represent the UK in the Eurovision, he came to the attention of Simon Cowell who paired him up with Paul Varney under the name of Yell! Despite having initial success worldwide, the duo split up and went their separate ways which resulted in Daniel going back to his career as an actor. With varied roles on TV and film, his cameo appearance in Eastenders just before the lockdown was short-lived.
In our podcast, he tells of how pounding the streets of London gave him the inspiration to start writing songs again after becoming disillusioned with the breakup of his band. The result is his new single 'Set Your Spirit Free' which has unsurprisingly received a lot of airplay with it's uplifting lyrics and melody.
