Daniel Szyller On the Making Of “Summer Kiss”
What was the initial spark or idea that led to the creation of "Summer Kiss?"
Hi! Thank you for this space. The idea came when I was composing the material for The Celestial Immigrant album (my debut album). It was winter in 2022 and I wanted to feel the Summer and enjoy a picture in my head...I guess it's a poetic way to express the love for summer. It's a romantic tune that I am very proud of.
What do you like the best about this track?
I like the fact that I do an odd system for the verses and then switch gears for the chorus. It has a nice stunning effect. And obviously the ending is very romantic. I love that because it's very 60s in style.
What was your favorite moment in making the music video?
We added scenes from our live concert, which is fantastic by the way. So for me it was just about playing live and enjoying. Thibault Graillot, the video producer did a great job with the images and the synchronization. I love the part of the roler blades lol
What inspired you to pursue a career in music?
Honestly, when I was very little, I was already singing and imitating opera singers at the house. I guess I was sensitive to music. Bands like Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Hendrix and The Doors were huge inspirations. It's like I have the need to express myself and each song is a different trip.
What do you enjoy most about performing live and connecting with your audience?
I enjoy talking between songs and having an actual conversation, It's like a therapy for me. Playing music and seeing the faces of the people attending. I tell many stories hehehe...
I'm a story teller and each song is a cinema in my head. So for me to actually do that in front of people is trully gratifying. It's the same amount of satisfaction as of sex!
