Danda Hughes, born on Dec 16th, 1986 was brought up in Germany.
Throughout the last years he's called many places home.
He currently resides in Burgundy, France.
He considers himself a 'lifestyle activist' regarding his consciously chosen low-impact lifestyle.
Danda Hughes combines various vintage styles of music in a unique way:
With only his voice, guitar and harmonica he manages to take you back to long forgotten times and far off places...
He is part of the Gypsy-Swing Trio 'Swingology', the Electroswingband 'Swing Boheme Orchestra' and the India-based 'Hot Club de Arambol'.
He frequently composes and produces in his home studio.
‚Contemporary Love’ was born as an idea for a concept album.
Then Corona hit and everything changed: during a pretty dark and lonely period of last winter’s lockdown, Danda started songwriting more intensely than he ever did: about 40 Song in 2 months.
All concepts and preconceived ideas were washed away and slowly but steadily the songs were boiled down to this EP.
On ‚Contemporary Love‘ he reinvents his musical identity by mixing all the styles that shaped him: Beatles-inspired Pop, a hint of Gypsy Jazz and Soul a la Amy Winehouse.
It’s hard to find a Genre to fit all songs of this EP, but ‚Retro-Soul-Pop‘ describes it pretty well.
