Extroverts in Music: Danny Riggs on Building a Career with Positivity

In this episode of Two Beers with the Band, I sit down with Danny Riggs, a prolific UK-based singer, songwriter, and rapper who is a true multi-instrumentalist, proficient in guitar, drums, percussion, and keyboard. To fuel our discussion on the contrasts between the Nashville and UK music landscapes, I sampled the Wild Honey Wheat from Yazoo Brewing Company. This Nashville staple, known for its smooth, honey-infused profile, provided the perfect local backdrop as Danny and I explored his journey from playing every instrument in the room to building a career centered on artistic integrity. Danny is a refreshing "extrovert across the board" in an industry often defined by introversion. We dive into his track "ease" and his commitment to representing old-school hip hop values by encouraging positivity and confidence in the younger generation of artists. From the logistics of independent recording studios in the UK to his surprising "useless talent" of extreme flexibility, Danny offers a high-energy look at what it takes to stay motivated and productive as a modern independent creator.
