Fresh from his latest single, ‘SOUTHSIDE DILLA’, we caught up with Australian breakout rapper and creative, Day1…

What five words define your sound?

Melodic, Trap, Authentic, Hectic, Unique.

Tell me something unique about your creative process

I’ll do a melody speaking gibberish and then write words to it.

Which song of yours would you like people to hear first?

‘Limit’.

What inspired you to make that song?

Changing my life around and focusing on what’s important in life such as family.

What’s the most vulnerable you’ve allowed yourself to be when writing/making music?

Having the letter my brother last wrote before he passed away, while I created ‘G World’.

What’s the best/worst experience you’ve had on stage?

Best experience was when I did a three festival shows in one day and at Good Life every single person had their lights up and I was just crowD controlling, it was insane. Worst experience was being too lit and forgetting my lyrics.

What is your favourite song to perform?

‘Limit’.

Which artist/song/album made you want to make music?

Xxxtentacion.

What’s the meaning behind your name?

I haven’t ever told anyone the meaning behind the name, I’m gonna keep it close.

If you weren’t making music, what would you be doing instead?

No comment.

What’s success to you?

Make sure all my people are good, my family are safe and healthy and living good and then I can comfortably say I’m successful.

What moment in your life/career forced you to change direction?

Dropping ‘BOSS’ gave me a big realisation that I can really make it in the music industry.

Where can people keep in touch with you?

Any of my socials.
