If You're Hating, Take A Backseat: Day-Day Turns Heads

David Hemphill, the artist known as Day-Day, has definitely made a splash on the social networking scene with his promotional video for his single, "Backseat". So much so that it has garnered over 60,000 views on YouTube in two months and now making its rotation on the popular entertainment blog site, Bossip.com. However the 24 year-old has his sights set on more than just getting attention. But let's start from the beginning.
          "Pop Culture inspired me to do music. When I turn on the TV and see Ciara, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Chris Brown, I immediately want to dance." says Hemphill. His first personal experience with music was when he played the violin in the 2nd grade. "I was really young then and it was just a class of students plucking the chords." This lead him to learning how to read music as he moved on to playing the clarinet at the visual and performing arts schools he attended. Now he involves himself in writing, producing, and recording music for himself and other fellow aspiring artists. In describing his style, he says it is "mixing Ciara's swag and dance with Lady Gaga's fashion and pop sound and ended up getting Ke$ha!".
          For now, his focus is on completing his EP. "I pray that everything goes as planned and I really want to record more music videos. Full videos. I'm going to do more video blogs for the people that support me and possibly start performing this summer around St. Louis." You can expect an EP from Day-Day during the summer and you can find more information at his YouTube and Facebook accounts: youtube.com/stldayday, facebook.com/stldayday.
