Daniel W. Shrigley Perspective on BUMP BUMP BUMP

Humor is my best inspiration actually. When I'm just listening to some other song and start making my own lyrics to a beat in that song or changing the song up. lol 

Hey there, thanks for stopping by and supporting my song BUMP BUMP BUMP. When I'm not making music I work in my other profession as a Armed Security Officer. Been doing security work for 26 years off and on. I'm also a Army Veteran and deployed to Iraq four times. Served 18 years in the military. I love making music and especially writing my own songs. I do my own production and release my music using UnitedMasters, Distribution. 

I have always been fond of dancing. Dancing lets the stress out and it lets you express yourself. This is the motivation for the song BUMP BUMP BUMP.. 

My earliest memory of listening to music was a long time ago, back in the 1970s. Growing up, listening to Fleetwood Mac, The Doors, Queen, and Journey. The list is far to long to list all the greats. 

I always had the ability to make music because I had the natural talent to write my own songs, but I never put my songs on paper. Three months ago I did just that. And now I have written over 50 songs and have produced all of them. I have just released 30 songs this week Between August 27 and August 29 of 2024. 

Definitely dance with a pop or rock vibe. 

My sounds style, only began three months ago. I don't even have three months in the business. But I have 30 professionally produced songs because I believe go big or go home.

I like to write music that relates to world events. I also am  a mood song writer. 

I wouldn't know where to begin. I would just be excited to get an invitation to hang out. But I would definitely like to be in the recording studio with somebody that's trying to finish writing a song so they can get it produced and thrown on their album and be 100% happy with it. 

I have a lot of favorite artists, but my most favorite vocalist is Ozzy Osbourne. Stevie Nicks would be my favorite female vocalist and if I were to describe them to somebody that never heard them before which I've had to do with my 11-year-old son. I have them listen to my favorite song and ask them their opinion of it and then explain to them why I think this song is so great. 

My music is designed to reach as many peoples as possible by its own diversity. I cover a lot of different genres. There's something for everybody.

I honestly would love to see Blake Shelton live in concert. Hopefully meet him in person one day because I admire his singing style. I really like the songs he chooses. God's country is one of my favorite songs ever.

BUMP BUMP BUMP is in my top five as favorites. But my number one favorite song has to be 'HOPI NATION'S TRUTH' because of the emotional attachment I have to the song. It's a song about the resolve of the Hopi native peoples and tells of how the U.S. Government broke their treaty agreement with them. 

• Ozzy Osbourne

• STEVIE NICKS

• BLAKE SHELTON 

My dream performance would be anything involving a collaboration with other artists.

That would definitely be Ozzy Osbourne or Blake Shelton.

At the Palisades ski resort in Lake Tahoe with my wonderful wife and son.

I want people to feel like they got a return on their investment with their time or their money for both. Then I want them to favorite the music. They listen to if they genuinely liked it and share with other people so the momentum keeps going and there's a ripple effect For many years. I don't expect people to like every single song but if you can find one or two or more, that's enough for me. 

• Creative

• Ambitious

• Approachable 

My favorite way to share music is one on one in person. My back up way would have to be social media.

I get better and better at writing songs that's my number one gift from above. Everything else is just being technically inclined, which you can learn. The talent of creativity can be learned as well if you work on it, but some people are just naturally gifted.

I've had so much good response to my songs. I did a trial run on TikTok with my music and the comments I got back were very good. The one that really stands out was the individual told me that my music is on fire.

I'll let you know when I get there. I just got here. I haven't even had time to fail, let alone succeed.

I'm not here to change the genre. I'm here to add to it and keep it all alive.

I believe an artist or any professional has an obligation to be true to themselves, and to those they serve where they get their income from. Athletes don't get their income from the sports franchise. They get their income from the fans and sometimes I think celebrities forget that it's not, the label or the movie company or the studio that puts money in their pockets it's the fans. 

I have a song that is released called guardians of the night, and that song was written about me and what I do for a living as a armed security officer otherwise known as an armed protection officer. My main function in my job is to respond to active shooters as a first responder.

Well, I'm so new in the industry. I think what scary is everything. Because I don't know what to expect I have no long-term experience. But what gets me through everything is that I am my go-getter. I just produced 30 songs in one week and I only started writing music three months ago and producing it. I will be the perfect example of what modern artist looks like Because I did everything from my iPhone. 

Well, to be honest, I've written so much music in the past three months that forgetting lyrics is embarrassing. In the past three months, I've written about 50 songs. And I am a human being. I'm not perfect, but memorizing the songs still working on that. Some I have memorized and some have mostly memorized. But once in a while, I'll mess up the lyrics when I sing them. Keep in mind I only started three months ago. I think there's a lot of room for growth and there's a lot of time to grow. I embrace it and look forward to this.

I would like to change the music industry in a way that every day common people that discover they have a musical talent can self produce and get into the music business a lot easier than traditional means.

I have been a professional truck driver, a sergeant in the United States army, an armed security officer, a car salesman, an Amway distributor, a survival expert, movie actor, Discovery Channel cast member on a TV series called ultimate ninja challenge.

My other professions, give me great discipline. And sometimes good disciplines all you need to do to get the tasks done.

Overreaching goal is to be able to support myself and my family, ultimately with my efforts and talents.

I make music because it's fun, it's no more complicated than that. I'm having a blast.

That the only one stopping you, is you. So don't let yourself stop and you can achieve anything you put your mind to.

No, my life is perfectly balanced, and I have the people in it on a daily basis that I need and desire. Music for me is fun and I look forward to the journey.

With an artist, I, especially a songwriter when I look out in the world I see little individual stories to tell. And those stories can be told through song. I've written about the lonely cowboy, two UAP's and UFOs flying through the sky in a mythical heaven.

I think everybody's favorite work of art should be the art of friendship. And staying true and genuine to it without letting yourself get walked on or taking advantage of. But if there was more of that form of artwork, the place we live in called earth would be better for it.

To me, Art is close to creation. Is the closest you can ever get to becoming like the master creator is through the expression of art. I like music, I like to draw, I like graphic art, I like, making videos I like being an actor, I like being in front of the camera. 

There's so many talented people out there I couldn't begin to tell you who I should compare myself to or be compared to. I don't even think I'm deserving of that because we're all unique.
