In an exclusive interview, SeaveyDaniel talks about life after Why Don’t We and shares how he overcame past traumas to put together his brave EP 'Dancing in the Light.'
What followed were five years of major highs as the band released hits such as “8 Letters” and “Trust Fund Baby,” attracting a loyal fanbase called the Limelights. They performed at storied venues like Radio City Music Hall and the Microsoft Theater. But those accomplishments were followed by extreme low points behind the scenes. The band worked non-stop, touring to a grind. Seavey says Why Don’t We even beat Atlantic Records’ record for most promo stops in one year.
Seavey remembers arriving late to the party that night, something that’s always stuck with him. “I just kept being like, ‘Why did I not get to see him that one last time?’” He coped with the trauma of losing his friend by writing “Goodbye,” a track he never intended to put out. The song, backed by simple, haunting piano chords, is on the EP and shows a deeply vulnerable side of Seavey. After recording it, he played it for La Barrie’s mom. Her reaction encouraged him to release it. “She loved it,” he says. “I realized, okay, this is special.”
After playing each track, Seavey would turn his head to try to make out the reaction to his music. “I’m biting my fingers off freaking out like, ‘I hope people enjoy this,” he admits later. “I hope I don’t get left in the dust with this.”
