DAN BLACK
NOMINATED FOR TWO “2010 MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS” FOR
“BEST BREAKTHROUGH” AND “BEST SFX (SPECIAL EFFECTS)”
FOR HIS VIDEO “SYMPHONIES”
With almost two million YouTube views, the visually stunning “Symphonies” video—which pays homage to the creativity of film credits—was produced by Black’s visual collaborator Chic & Artistic, who is Corinne Bance and Axel D’Harcourt out of Paris, France, and places Dan in various vintage, technicolored film clips to create a multisensory journey across several fantasy worlds characterized by classic imagery with a touch of modern flare. The song was the debut single from the British singer and songwriter’s album ((un)) which is out now via The Hours label.
Viewers can vote for “Symphonies” by visiting vma.mtv.com now until the live show on September 12. Also, Verizon Wireless subscribers can vote in all categories by texting VMA to 97979 (standard message rates apply). The “2010 MTV Video Music Awards” will air live from Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 9:00PM (Live ET/Tape delayed PT.)

About Dan Black:
Hailing from Great Britain, but currently residing in Paris, France, Dan Black came upon the music scene as the vocalist for alt-rockers the Servant. The dance-pop purveyor caught the ears of dance fans with his pop/rock/hip-hop stylings with the songs “Yours,” “HYPNTZ”—his mashup of lyrics from the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize” with samples from Rihanna’s “Umbrella”—and ((un))’s breakthrough first single “Symphonies” featuring Kid Cudi which garnered him critical praise in the press, with the New York Post stating, “[Dan Black] will give you that fizzle and sizzle your ears are yearning for." “Alone,” the second single from ((un)), will be available very shortly as a package with a video from Chic & Artistic, a remix by dubstep pioneer MJ Cole and a brand new b-side track “Liz And Johnny.”
