D.Daly (born Didier Daly, 17 June 1978, Abymes, Guadeloupe) is a Guadeloupean singer-songwriter, composer, actor, and music producer.[1]
Career
In 1996, Didier Daly,while in Raizet, Guadeloupe, took his first steps in music; With his friends (Darkman, Tysmé, Edinyo puis Sherkan), he created "la Horde Noire"[Spanish] translated in English as "the Black Horde".
In 1998, the band made its first opus called Mi la sa ka bay. Making the video of this song led to a decisive encounter with Jean-Claude Flamand Barny, a director. He joined the « Karukéra Crew » (Star Jee, Exxòs, BBG, Tysmé, Phonie, ...) while being a member of « la Horde Noire », and after several shows in Guadeloupe, he decided to go to France in 1999. At that moment, unfortunately, the band broke up, so, he decided to make his first solo album. A few years later, he returned to Guadeloupe with a musical model and, thanks to Staniski, he met David Drumeaux, who produced the two albums I alé man and Mista dal.
First album : I alé man
Daly's first solo album, I alé man, was created in June 2004. This album was awarded the Golden Trophy in 2004, the Holidays Dancehall Award thanks to the song Tchenbé Nou, the Sacem Award in 2005 « Newcomer of the Year », the Phenix Tube Trophy in 2006 with Toujou Opé and the Glory Trophy in 2006 with Twòp. This enabled him to take part of the opening shows of Corneille, Sean Paul in Guadeloupe and in Martinique but also to appear on the prestigious stages of the Centre des Arts, of Bercy for the « Grand Méchant Zouk », of Zénith de Paris for the concert of Karukera Sound System, and of the Bataclan for Patrick Saint-Eloi's tour called Love tour.
Nèg Maron, the movie[2]
Five years after their meeting, Jean-Claude Flamand Barny after a casting and a three-month training, decided to give him the role of Silex, one of the two main characters of his first movie, the other being interpreted by Admiral T: Nèg Maron.[3][4] It is the illustration of a certain part of Guadeloupe's youth and was produced by Mathieu Kassovitz.
Second album : Mista Dal
Released on July 7, 2007, conceiving Mista Dal obliged him to think and focus for several months in order to write his lyrics and then required six months in the recording studio.
On November 7, 2007, Daly heated up the scene of bastille with his unexpected guests such as Goldee, Shaolin and Admiral T.
His first solo concert took place in centre des Arts on January 16, 2008, with Shaolin and Dj Jaïro in the opening show. Daly was joined by music stars including Patrick Saint-Eloi, Admiral T, Missié GG (fuckly), Jeff Joseph and also V-ro and Benzen. Just Arrived from Paris, Stéphane Castry, bassist, Michael Désir, drummer, Yann Négrit, guitarist and Didier Davidas, keyboard player.
