A Conversation with Dave August on his recent release ‘Worked Out’

We are sharing here our recent conversation with up and coming artist ‘Dave August’. He has recently released a single ‘worked out’. Our conversation is mainly focused on his recent release as well as on his music career.

Twist Online : First of all do tell our readers about the start of your music career?
Dave August: Well, I started to write songs when I was 15 at school and people used to think I was crazy doing it hahaha. Then I continued writing songs and in end of 2015 I started to post covers on my Instagram and I showed ‘Small Town’ (my first single) to my mom and she just loved and said “You need record it!”. I was afraid about it because I never believed I was a good songwriter or singer to make it as a career. I had other people who said “Go and do it” like my friend Victoria and then I did it. So my songs started to work out and people are liking it, people from other countries where I never thought it would be possible.

Twist Online : Who or what inspired you to get into this profession?
Dave August : I listen Shania Twain since I was a child, she was my first musical influence. I used to sing and perform her songs in Karaoke at home and when I grow up I started to listen singers like Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift who inspired me a lot too.

Twist Online : You recently released your second track ‘Worked Out’ tell us about that?
Dave August : ‘Worked Out’ is song about a relationship that I had last year. Do you know when you break up with someone and you try to forget it doing a lot of things that you judge as wrong? I did it! I tried to do everything to forget him, but all that memories scared me for months even kissing other guys, drinking… Things that never worked out.

Twist Online : What kind of response your track is receiving?
Dave August : Well, I received a lot of responses about the track, both bad and good ones. Had people saying the song became an addiction for it and couldn’t stop to listen the song all day, people saying that I have a great future as singer and others saying that Worked Out is a shit, that my voice is horrible and things like that.
