DANIEL NIGRO: CRACKING THE CODE

| ||
NOW WHAT?
We have no fucking idea.
COUNTRY'S NEWEST DISRUPTOR
Three chords and some truth you may not be ready for.
AI IS ALREADY EATING YOUR LUNCH
The kids can tell the difference... for now.

WHAT IT IS: The soulful, stripped-down singer/songwriter has spent a majority of 2015 on stage, alongside the likes of Sam Smith, Tori Kelly and Kodaline, and was recently featured in American Express’ UNSTAGED: Artists in Residence program. His newest pop-laden single, produced by Fraser T Smith (Sam Smith, Adele) and mixed by Spike Stent (Coldplay, Muse, Massive Attack), offers a glimpse into his much anticipated, debut full-length, which follows his Book of Love EP.
