Rising Leeds-born singer-songwriter Danny Clement is set to release his debut single ‘Dice’ following support slots with Seafret and viral success on TikTok
Rising Leeds-born folk-pop singer-songwriter Danny Clement has officially announced his debut single ‘Dice’, set for release this Thursday (October 15)
To mark the milestone release, the fast-rising local artist will headline the iconic Brudenell Social Club in Hyde Park on October 16, with tickets already on track for a sell-out.
Clement has rapidly built a dedicated online following over the past two years, amassing more than 3.3 million views across TikTok and over 80,000 streams on a self-released cover of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘I’m On Fire’.
A single teaser video for ‘Dice’ recently racked up over 60,000 views ahead of its drop.
Fresh off a UK support tour with Yorkshire indie-folk duo Seafret, Danny has also shared stages with the likes of Embrace, Calum Bowie, Tide Lines, and Billie Reekie.
Crafted alongside Seafret guitarist Harry Draper, ‘Dice’ channels a tender, Noah Kahan-esque storytelling feel, exploring the emotional clarity that comes with finally letting go of a past relationship.
Speaking on the inspiration behind the track, Danny said: “‘Dice’ came from finally accepting the end of a relationship that, for a long time, I don’t think I had completely let go of. The relationship itself was already over, but there was still a part of me holding onto the idea that maybe one day things would work themselves out.
“The song is really about reaching the point where that hope disappears, and you see the situation for what it is - realising that I simply had the wrong ‘roll of the dice’. There’s sadness in accepting that someone who was such a big part of your life probably won’t be part of your future, but there’s also a sense of freedom in finally admitting that to yourself.”
With a busy schedule of releases lined up into 2027, Clement’s hometown celebration at the Brudenell marks a major springboard for one of the city's most promising new songwriters.
Tickets to Danny Clement’s show this week at the Brudenell Social Club are still available now through See Tickets.
