He IS a KNOCKOUT!  ~ and he's been 'KNOCKED OUT' of the "Find Artist" page ;-)
Hans de Mooij - Congrats Lucia for $29K! 30.04.08 25

That song "She a Knock-Out" stays in my mind, I've bought 5 parts, so I'm able listen these songs (wich are al 3 great) on CD in the car when the sun shines and with open windows so everybody can hears.

 

Very fine music and lyrics and a touching sound.

 

Besides Lucia Iman and Francis Rodino, is Daniel one of my favorite artists here on Sellaband, he did great performances, has be autiful song lyrics and catching tunes....Really nice person and the same counts for his bandmembers !

 

Update 30 april 2008: Congratulations for reaching the 50K as the 20th artist on SAB !

 

SELLACAT - '08 rocks! 30.04.08 2
My heart's on my sleeve - loving DWM's music!
Richard Markham 30.04.08 30

Daniel's 'Songs from Soho' recording session more than convinced me of his prodigious songwriting talent; nearly 20 songs, all beautifully constructed, in one enthralling evening. But what has most impressed me seeing Daniel live (twice) is the astonishing power and richness of his voice - he draws you right into his lyrics with passion and subtlety. This man is a top class musician and performer who will make a great Sellaband album.  No-one has earned his success more than Daniel and a nicer guy you could not hope to meet.

Finally top of the pile, his time has come (today?)!

Ray Baisden 30.04.08 4
SellaBand star number 20. An "overnight success" hard earned and richly deserved.
Clive Barratt 29.04.08 10
Daniel Ward Murphy's music is here to stay because it deserves to be!

A 20th 50K artist in the '06 week. Wouldn't that be great?

I have just watched Daniel's live performance of She's a knockout on his own website http://www.danielwm.com/ and it is superb. This is the kind of artist that we should be getting to 50k. His music and his performance is somehow both commercial and more importantly honest. There is a reason that there are so many believers in him and that is because he deserves it.

Daniel plans to record with the great Tony Platt and I can honestly say that I know when the album is done that it will sit amongst my most loved CD's.

 

Now, come on guys, let's get Dan to 50k!!

nicky 13.04.08 1
nice, a bit different!
Jamie - Under Kings 13.04.08 10
Almost there Dan!  Your looking and sounding good!

You dont need any more reviews- just go for it.
Mark Adelsberger 04.04.08 1

How I managed to overlook this Artist for this long is beyond me.

On top of it in my own small way 25.03.08 1
No comment needed beside the music. Number one in believers and parts and for a reason.
Mark Starbuck - Team Marco 15.03.08 1

One of my latest investments is for Daniel Ward-Murphy and i must make it very clear that this was not just for them beign closest to 50k. I pure and simply think the music created in just totally awesome. She's a knockout really sits well in my eyes in particular and i sure once i get to hear the rest of the SAB CD (very soon to be made im sure) i will feel exactly the same about them. To be honest its all about the music here and thats is great so 50k is defineately deserved!

The force is strong in this one...
Just curious 10.03.08 5
No need to embellish. Let the music do the talking.
Polka Donkey 08.03.08 10
Well, this has been my favourite artist on Sellaband (with more than $5000 in budget) for a long time now, probably since I joined this community. I think it is time to get this man and his band into the studio! 
Mazzarak - 10 Part Giveaway 07.03.08 2

Daniel deserves his status as one of Sellaband's leading lights. Get your parts before they are gone.

Mark Maclaine (Second Person) 07.03.08 2
There is an emotional power and strength in everything Daniel does. It's authentic, great music, and just as it takes time for the ball to get rolling, once it does it won't stop. He has more amazing tracks to choose this album from than most people will ever write and with his superb musicians on side - he's going to make an album that I'll be proud to own. Specially one of the first 5000 limited editions!
PRIVATE NATION BELIEVES! 06.03.08 1
To the top of the most of the pop of the most!!   We can see your name in lights Daniel!!
Laura Lighaam 05.03.08 3

Of course you have all been checking him out already and since the music speaks for itself, no need for me to say anything!

Vincent B 05.03.08 6
Here is one artist to be reckoned with - self confident on stage and as ready to play a 2000 person venue as a 200 one. The songs I knew from the site got a different quality on stage and I'm not ashamed to say that despite him being around for quite some time now DWM was my 'new' discovery this evening!
(from the blog Sellablog about Sellabration 2007)
MissY = offline 05.03.08 1
This artist from the UK deserves to the reach the 50k with your help. Seen them play live at Paradiso in Amsterdam and they did a great performance!
MaryJo 04.03.08 1
Listening to Daniel Ward Murphy's tracks, I liked the live recordings the best.  These songs brought back very vivid memories of one of the few times I've been out somewhere with really good live music, having a good friend show me his favorite local place when a friend of his is performing.

My favorite of the 3, "Heart on My Sleeve" especially evoked a wonderful intimate and nostalgic atmosphere. It sounds like I'm right there with the artist, and makes me wish I was instead of sitting in front of my computer. It's one of those songs where listening to it at night is somewhat dangerous if you don't want to fall into a binge of sentimentalism and writing over-emotional letters to people you lost touch with.
Steve M - Team Brooke 28.02.08 34

"She's  a Knockout" definitely belongs at the top of an album list.

 

A great, original sound that deserves belief.  DWM should be at 50K before long.

And you have to love his picture.

Kim 'Cyberon' Groenbek 22.02.08 20

This is a great sound Daniel have found, i can really recommend his music to others.

HE's a Knockout!!

Fantastic songs, brilliant melodies and thoughtful lyrics. DWM for 16th!!!

Country Mouse 08.02.08 2
Now this is good music!  Daniel's "a knockout" ....
Angel from BBConnected 01.02.08 1

A few months ago I had the honour to meet this man. Great songs, pure, and his voice...... .....! Also sparkling backing-vocals from Jennifer Delaney. Great musician, great band, they need to be up, at the top! Welcome 25k, very soon!

Love, Angel, BBConnected

Los Rundit: Team DWM 31.01.08 40

Top 10 artist with exceptional writting, singing and playing skills, and one of the most dedicated people I have spoken to on SAB. I have no doubt that the SAB album that Daniel and his band will create will be nothing short of a masterpiece.

With songs like She's A Knockout, The Most Important Thing & Act Of Defiance, how could you possibly resist.

Invest now and you won't be sorry. The 50K's not far away.

RJV 27.01.08 3
marcusm 18.01.08 5
It's fantastic music. It's great listening to him and his band and watching them performing on fabchannel. So I hope to be able to watch them live soon.
For the last few weeks it seems that the progress got a bit slower, but I'm sure that this was just to catch your breath before you will rush to the top and reach the 50.000.

Pietro 15.01.08 2
This musician is a very sensitive one. Either sweet or hard, Daniel Ward-Murphy's songs are always a pleasure to be listened to.

Simon McMurdo - Team Marco 11.11.07 1
Daniels british tones dominate every one of his well written tracks, im very lucky to have won a gift part!

His amazing acoustic skills powerfully rule over the gorgeous lyrics, and vocals. But most of all the mixture of each makes his sound amazing!

My favourite track is definitly: 'She's A Knockout'. Punchy, Powerful, and Catchy!

Thanks for nominating me for a Gift Part Karin :D 
Age 02.11.07 1
'She's a knockout' is a knockout of a song. But Daniel has a lot more to offer than just the one song that won't leave your head. He can dig deep in your soul with his beautifully crafted compositions. You may not notice it at that moment, but you absolutely will eventually.
Markey 25.10.07 6
I have been in awe of Daniel's music since the very first time I heard 'She's a Knockout'. The style of the playing and the vocals was so different to the usual stuff that I had listened to, that I was immediately intrigued. For me to listen to Daniel's music in the first, it took a recommendation from my father, who is firm believer in Daniel's success; however, Daniel's stupendous talent was reinforced - even more so - when I saw him live - along with 24 other believers - at Dean St. Studios in London. The experience of just being there, in such great company, would've been enough for me; but with the performances of 21 songs, from the brilliance of Daniel, Jennifer Delaney, Helen Twomey and Milo Bird, just left me speechless. This artist deserves every bit of good luck that he receives and it is inevitable that his music will be selling worldwide very soon indeed.
Nolio / Snelle Fellas 24.10.07 1
His live show really did it for me. Daniel's song writing skills are excellent, his voice is too. Really like his band's line up, it's somewhat different (at least I'm not used to it), and I like different. But anyway, this guy will make a great record, no doubt about it!
balzary 19.10.07 1
Pretty similar to Kane and very good, as well.
believer 30.09.07 1
Pieter 23.09.07 1
Wonder when we will be able to get more of him on Amie street ;-) 
Marc 14.09.07 4

I feel so in tune with Daniel's music... Probably it's because we have the same influences... Or probably it's because we have the same way of thinking the music!

Congrats DWM on your music and your overall progression

Marc

ginny 08.09.07 1
Wonderful sound, can't wait to hear the album!
Vegas Dragons "LOVINGLY CRUEL" 06.09.07 5

I had the pleasure to meet this great man in London. Sadly, I did not get to see him live but hope that will change one day. There will not be a happier day then when Dan makes 50K. He is a superb songwriter and singer and should NOT be ignored.

Good luck to you - you really deserve to succeed!

He was one of the most exciting acts in Amsterdam! Go Dan! 50K in 2007 - I am sure of it!!!!

Steve 03.09.07 3
Quite simply, some of the best songs around, and beautifully arranged & accompanied. Deserves to be huge.
Berry (aka Raasdorp) 25.08.07 1

'She's a knockout' is one of the SAB-classics.

The nice performance in Paradiso and the recommandation of Francis Rodino made me a believer.

Christine 24.08.07 2

Daniel came, saw, and conquered! Live he's even more amazing than on tape. The energy Daniel puts in his music is really contagious! And I'm infected with it!

Kristen 24.08.07 5
I am simply hypnotized by Daniel's sound. So powerful and haunting, it transports me to a relaxed, peaceful state. Fabulous!
Jeroen 24.08.07 5

Although Daniel was the first act to perform at Sellabration07 he was the absolute best!

 

Believing in him is a sure bet!

 

See the live performance at www.fabchannel.com

Ramon Brandt 23.08.07 6
When this band entered the stage of the Paradiso @ Sellabration I never gave them much attention, although Daniel is the name and the face, the band just completed the whole thing.
The strings and the background singer are great, great tunes and a warm voice singing the fragile songs, they just won me over,
thx
Jeroen Vrins 21.08.07 1
I can't wait to listen to Daniel Ward-Murphy's album. He is a great singer-songwriter....
Miekie 18.08.07 1
This artist has stole my heart with his voice and songs on the Sellabration party in Amsterdam!!!
Monique (the one and only) 16.08.07 2
Daniel, you're great
I  listened several times on Sellaband but now in Paradiso you convinced me... what a voice.. what a talent.. what a music.. Absolutely one of the best..

Jelle - Nearfield fan 06.08.07 8
City inside = Tori Amos with a male vocal. Make no mistake, this is a compliment and makes me long for more

Thomy84 03.06.07 5
Une douce voix féminine et la chaleur d'un violoncelle, c'est un accompagnement original pour les très belles balades de DWM.
Markus from ConFused5 03.06.07 5
great music, she´s a knockout is one of the hits on SAB  
roel 30.05.07 4
She's a knockout is a really good song, as are the others, can't wait to get the signed white label cd!
Jimzzor The Sellabandit 18.05.07 1
Easy on the ears, heavy on the heart... The string instruments add something special, and lend an extra degree of awesome to this the smooth vocals. Please believe in Daniel and the band - this stuff is so good.
Peter Locke 14.05.07 5
Sound excellent and look good. One day I may even get to see them live?
Mandyleigh 09.05.07 1
Daniel has a great voice, melodies and music. I`m impressed. A consummate songwriter, and also a really nice guy.
Check out his video.... live & acoustic in concert.... AMAZING!! You know how good someone really is when you see/hear them live, and boy, is Daniel good!
Calimero 08.05.07 1
Great songs! Great artist!
Not less to mention the brilliant musicians around.
Lieke 01.05.07 1

Because your live performance is 1.000.000 x better than your drawing skills!

Don't know DWM? GO and listen!
Docnik/SolidTube 25.04.07 1

I simply love this kind of music - and you´re doin´a great job.

Vegas tribute to Billy Joel 24.04.07 1
Daniel Ward-Murphy is one of the great professional musicians on this site. He just oozes class and talent. His Sellaband Cd will be one of the best ever produced.
DanielF 23.04.07 1
The first artist I decided to believe in on Sellaband. And I still look just as much forward to hearing his album once he reaches 50k.
Annawm 19.04.07 40

My other half so yes, I'm biased but...an amazing talent, superb voice, great songwriting, great musicianship....

JayDoubleYou 18.04.07 1

Simply a great artist!

janwillem 14.04.07 1
His voice is unbelieveble
Carola 10.04.07 4

Music to get cosy and comfortable with. The slight melancholic touch has stolen my heart.

CAMoreira 08.04.07 1

Since the first moment I heard Daniel’s songs I knew that reaching the 50k will only be a mater of time. One of the greatest voices on SAB.

Rey Gamba 07.04.07 5
I catched some kind of virus in my body.  Suddenly out of the blue on the most unexpected moments (shopping, warching tv, waking up etc) there is a tune in my head that goes on and on.  it's  "She's a knockout" Dear doctor is there a cure or do i have to live with it for the rest of my life?
Lily and BamBam 06.04.07 1
Just listen, watch his videos...Daniel's strategy to make it in sellaband has always being music, his music.  He has a massive amount of believers backing him up, including me..it's a shame I joined so late in the game..but then again, everything happens for a reason, and the reason now is LONDON!  Bring DWM to London! just believe!
Christiaan 04.04.07 1
    I like the way he folks
Casper, supports 'The Collaboration Project' 29.03.07 1

Wowww great songs and vocals Daniel Ward Murphy. I guess you need just a few months to get there. When you are in Holland give me a call

Juno 28.03.07 1

I am impressed with his music, sound and ideas!

ChrisBlish 21.03.07 7
Great songs, great voice. What more do you want?
Jon Marvel 15.03.07 2
I absolutely love the acoustic sound of DWM!  It resonates much iinspiration to me as a fellow musician.  His brilliant songwriting and musical talents put him in a category of his own!!!!!
chenque 12.03.07 5

 

The combination of strong songwriting, the warm acoustic guitar sound supported by the cello and violin, all together with the great voice of Daniel and the crystal clear female background voice makes this artist someone to believe in. Now! :)

Shane Seymour 09.03.07 65
I wasn't actually convinced the first time I listened but I came back later and gave Daniel another go and the music grew on me.

If you read this and you're not convinced the first time that you listen to Daniel put him on your wish list and come back a few times over the next few weeks and give him another go. It will be worth it.

I'm sure that like me the music will grow on you and you'll become a believer.

(Sorry Daniel but I thought an honest review would be a better review so if someone, like me, wasn't convinced the first time they would come back a few times to give you another listen)
Vegas Whaley 07.03.07 29

He reminds me of the band +Live+ but with a little less rock and a lot less rock star bullsh*t.

 

Elodie 07.03.07 14

Daniel is a sensitive artist with constructed melodies. i have known him and his music when i was in London and he was still part of Bullet Galloway with his other 3 mates, and discovered a type of music i liked: between rock and folk, and with a touch of mysterious Tori Amos-like sounds, this guy just impressed me on stage. Not only does he give everything he has, but he also selects great musicians and vocalists to accompany him and give his solo career a new spring.

Dan - continues, tu vas y arriver, je le sais.

CyLu 05.03.07 10
Just took the time to listen to. I do like the second voice and the violin, it give a warm color to the songs.
Minguet Florian 02.03.07 4

Sound as I like them

Arnis 10.02.07 130
Much, much, much sharper than James Blunt !!  Brighter than David Gray.  Remarkable talent! Pure listening pleasure !
Gloria Sierra 07.02.07 1

Hi Daniel,

 

I am doing an MBA and I was searching in the Internet to find an innovative idea to write about. In the process, I discovered SellaBand and we have made a report about it. I think it is really nice that SellaBand has created so such a nice platform to support bands. I discovered you on the page and I think you and your music makes really feel. I am sure you are going to reach soon the 50.000$, just a little more pacience.

 

Suerte!

 

Gloria Sierra

Mandy 01.02.07 3

Callum Mack 27.01.07 5
take your time to listen to just one of his songs and that would be time well spent.




Paula 25.01.07 2

Great lyrics combined with a very nice voice and nice tunes.

General V 25.01.07 1

Folk/pop

You got a nice voice.

Pieter Bos 21.01.07 5
I was just looking around and found Daniel and got stuck on his music and lyrics. Can’t wait to hear more of him. So let’s pay up and let them make a CD.
Utterly B Groovy 16.01.07 62

His songwriting is extraordinary, from songs that can make you cry to songs you have to dance about too. Also, having seen him perform live so often makes a big difference. The musicians he’s managed to collect around him are fabulous and a joy to watch as well as listen too.

Erik van Lent 15.01.07 5
Great songwrting, good voice, and then... ahhh the violin, sweet sounds.
logical-one 15.01.07 17

Consistently great music - hard to pick a favorite!  :O) 

Kane 11.01.07 1
Daniel Ward-Murphy is a very talented songwriter indeed, "She's A Knockout" is a prime example of what this guy is capable of. His solid, well crafted music and unique voice is a dynamite recipe for success.
Jules 09.01.07 1

Briljant singer/songwritter!!

Pim 15.12.06 1
I met him in London. Apart from his brilliant music a very nice guy. Does a lot of live gigs so if you live in london go check him out!
Namor 07.12.06 15
I don't want to buy now,
but he's got a song that's affecting me!
www.lit.at.tf 02.12.06 2
I like his sound.
Lucretia 22.11.06 10
Acoustic guitar combined with strings backing and vocal harmony. Simplistic yet beautiful.
Adam 22.11.06 5
An amazing voice, terrific songs, original and striking arrangements, Daniel has it all going for him. And it couldn't happen to a nicer guy!
Eric Brown 10.11.06 1
Daiel Ward-Murphy creates a sound remeniscent of much on the market, only with the perfect twists and unique styles.  The use of acoustic violin as well as perfect placement of backup singers creates a sensation that cannot be matched.  "She's a Knockout" has catchy lyrics which frankly are almost too easy to get stuck in your head.  Daniel is set for a career in music, with beautiful melody, harmonics, and poignant lyrics.  Watch for his CD in the very near future!
stage 05.11.06 3
Really nice music. I think that he will be successuful. Great voice - great sound - great emotions...good luck!
Cow Mug 02.11.06 1
Really good! Talented and calming music. Sounds a bit like Damien Rice, David Gray, Grant Lee Phillips, & Pete Yorn. I really like the inclusion of the cello. Sounds great. I am sure Daniel will be successful!!
eagle687 01.11.06 1
Artiste dans l'ame, Daniel est auteur, compositeur et interprete. Ses morceaux reservent souvent place belle a des interludes  d'une musicalite acoustique riche et rare. Appreciez notamment l'usage onirique des cordes... Mon premier coup de coeur sur Sellaband !
T. Patrick 31.10.06 2
I Believe Daniel is a brilliant songwriter
