On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Daya.
During Daya’s first show, she played a trio of covers — “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette, “Clocks” by Coldplay, and “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” by Green Day. In the years since, she’s branched out into a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter who excavates heartbreak with an alt-pop touch, particularly on her new album, Til Every Petal Drops (out Oct. 10).
She recently stopped by the Artist Friendly office, sitting down with Joel to reflect on her journey from breakout hit “Hide Away” at 16 to her latest record. She opens up about finding artistic freedom, navigating early fame, and what’s next as she prepares to bring her music back to the stage.
