DC Harding Wins Los Angeles Top Artist Honour

DC HARDING Wins Top Artist Honour.

Whanganui Singer/Song writer, DC Harding returned yesterday after his big win at the Los Angeles Music Awards. Harding won his category for Best Male Pop Artist of the Year last week at the Avalon Theatre in Hollywood. He was nominated for two awards.

“Woah, I didn’t think I was going to win. I was on the plane thinking, am I wasting all this money, am I doing the right thing. Well, apparently, I did”! After Harding won he thanked everyone back home for their contribution to his success at the LAMA’s.

Mr Harding is the second New Zealander to win a LAMA in its 24 year run. Anita Prime won an award for Best Music Video of the year back in 2011. It was Anita’s win that inspired Harding to participate in the awards this year. “Anita’s fantastic. An amazing vocalist, a great song writer and an overall fantastic person. She has a voice of an angel, but performs with fire”.

Mr Harding plans on going back to the states in 2015 where he will tour with another band from the US promoting his new EP which comes out in December. “Melodic Emotions is exactly that. They’re my emotions, my thoughts, my feelings, my ideas in a melodic form”, Mr Harding said. It’ll be available for download and people can order hard copies if they want it.

Right now, Mr Harding is going back to UCOL in Whanganui to finish up his contract as their Vocal Lecturer and plans on having a celebration party in honour of those who helped him get to the states both in September and November.

DC Harding is headlining the Hawera Christmas parade on December 13 2014.
