I have posted under pop forum an interesting article re him that you might find interesting. Gives a hint I think of how Darius may have done financially.

I read that, and I am pleased David did more then ok with his writing, and people always say its the writer who makes most of the money. So Darius will have done extremely well with having written all his albums. :D

the money is definately in the writing..although I am puzzled on how this works with david signing that publishing deal..I thought that would make the label in charge of his songs...

and darius sold a lot more records than David I think and abroad too, and I wonder how his royalties are doing with marcos.

I would love darius to write for others more, although I obviously prefer to hear his vocals on them....

We found a lot of new songs of Gareth on a publishing site, I bet if you search you might find the same for Darius too. I think some of the many songs they write, but decide against having them on an album, might go on these sites for other artists to take up?

That's very good news for David. I wish him well with whatever he decides to do in the future. I did read somewhere a while ago that he was making a new album, but it all seems to have gone quiet now, so don't know if it was true.

He had a group and the performed a lot of gigs but that seems to have gone on the backburner. Then I heard he and John Kielty were almost finished David's new album. Maybe since the success of "The Message", David has decided that he'd be better offering the songs he wrote for the album to other artists. He's a songwriter and what any songwriter wants is to get his/her music out to as many people as possible. If David is happy, then I'm happy for him.

 

I wouldn't want Darius ever to step back and become a songwriter/producer. He's a charismatic stage performer and I think he would miss the contact with an audience and their feedback so much. Darius also knows the media game and plays along, whereas David was never as comfortable with those aspects of his career.

I have a feeling that the next thing we'll see/hear from Darius will be from a film. As long as he enjoys singing and carries on writing, I'll be happy.

Whatever happened to David Sneddon?

The answer I was looking for.

He certainly lived the lie when he was dropped, David Sneddon.

 

 

That's a bit harsh to say about him isn't it?

Off topic a bit but this is my favourite song from anyone that was in Fame Academy, just a fantastic pop song :wub:
