Daniel Rady (July 10) is an American musician and singer/songwriter. He currently has a Youtube page and is working on a webinar and producing music for other parties. The channel has five songs on it that are produced, written and performed by Rady himself. His first song "Zombie Woman" was introduced and released on Youtube in February of 2012. While it was a very rough and sloppy version, it showed Rady's odd but amusing talent for song writing. He does have one cover song on his channel, ELO's 1979 hit Don't Bring Me Down in which Rady does a great job of capturing the songs original upbeat sound. A photo is attached to the song in which we see a image of a man wearing a hat with a plane's vapor spelling out Rady's full name in the sky over a presumed lake.
Early life
[edit]Daniel Rady is from Cleveland Ohio born and raised. He has been writing music on and off for 15 years but it was not until 2011 that he wrote his first full song "Zombie Woman" which was also the first song that started his small Youtube channel. His love for music started at a young age however he had little interest in making music. Instead he would rather be playing sports and messing around with cars. It was not until the early 2000's that Rady would start writing music, albeit mostly instrumentals .
He would write his first song, an instrumental called "Cloud 9". A dreamy and dark sounding masterpiece. Subsequent titles would follow under the same general platform. However he was still new to music making and Rady decided to take down his website, pull all of his tunes and call it quits in 2004.
With Youtube and Facebook entering the world a few years later, Rady decided to get back into writing music. This time he would sing. He understood the power of social media and websites like Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook as did many other artists. This style advertising and marketing was not available during Rady's first musical go around. His music influence has a wide range from 60's 70's and 80's rock and pop.
Rady recently has said that if he never plays a live show he is fine with that. Which is a reference to one of his favorite bands "The Alan Parsons Project". APP never played one live show during their heyday from 1975 to 1987 which was do to not being able to recreate their sound. This was a problem back in the day before digital playback/sampling. "its not in me to want to force my music onto people by playing 100 live shows to maybe 20 or 30 people that may or may not like you" Rady said in a Tweet.
Career
[edit]Starting with "Zombie Woman" Rady demonstrated his awkward and humorous writing ability. Other titles to follow such as "Bitch Express", "Cadillac Swagger" and "Love Machine Of The Western World" would all help him gain a small following. It was not until 2014's Ignite My Dreams, that Rady found his stride. It's a upbeat and well written song that helped widen his appeal and further exemplify his musical talents. Dan Rady's music sounds as good as can be expected from someone producing and recording with just a keyboard. His work has appeared on several sites including Frequency.com and The Columbus Dispatch.
