Songtalk Podcast: Dan Manjovi, Part 2

My conversation with the masterful Dan Manjovi continues in Songtalk Podcast: Dan Manjovi Part 2. We talk about song structure, music theory and subliminal political themes in music. Dan talks about his musical education and gives some great advice to songwriters with little or no background in Music Theory.

Described by Next Magazine as a “celeb of New York” and “one of New York’s most visible singer, song writer, musicians” Dan Manjovi continues to attract new fans everywhere. The 2008 release of Manjovi’s second CD, Woke Up This Morning, saw more and more fans tuning in to Dan’s tasty pop/rock hooks, his special blend of rock, blues and jazz piano-based arrangements, and powerfully flexible vocals. Joe Siegel of Edge New York called Woke Up This Morning “a winning collection of pop-rock songs. …Manjovi has scored a major success.” And the proof is in the listening. Woke Up This Morning is currently in the Number 1 spot on the OutVoice Top 40 Chart. And “Give Em What You Got (Takin’ It Back) which takes on homophobe Buju Banton, came in at Number 3 for 2008 on QNationFM’s Pride Music Playoff listener Poll.

Manjovi and his band regularly appear both nationally and to packed houses at New York’s major music rooms includingCanal Room, The Cutting Room and The Bitter End. Dan was a featured artist at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival/ASCAP Music Lounge, where he and his band appeared along withJohn Mayer, Nellie McKay, and Elvis Costello. He performs atBryant Park’s annual Piano In The Park Concert Series. Dan’s music can also be heard in the new groundbreaking Lee Daniels film “Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire” which took top honors at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. The film is scheduled for major release by Miramax later this year.
