Singer/songwriter Michael Daughtry talks about Billboard charting hit "Nothing Special", fellow Berklee College of Music classmate John Mayer and what it takes to write a hit song
Visiting North Carolina today with singer-songwriter Michael Daughtry, who has carved one hit making trail of music from the Carolinas to Boston to all over the globe! The Berklee College of Music magna cum laude grad (who just so happened to graduate with another singer, songwriter and guitarist - John Mayer!) has worked with musicians Edwin McCain, Mark Davis of Hootie and the Blowfish, Sponge and John Ford Coley, in addition to making his own career path in the music business. Michael explains how his unique brand of songwriting helped him write the current hit "Nothing Special" from his new CD 'Other Side' - which as of August 2023 - was the #1 Independent Adult Contemporary song on radio! He also talks about his work with the Child Advocacy Center of Fayetteville, NC and Raleigh's Rock 'n' Roll Running Series; his many musical influences, a supportive musical extended family and what really inspires him to write a hit song. Bring along your love of music and songwriting and join us!
