The new single sees Don bring together acoustic guitar, synths and electronic beats under his chilled vocal delivery to create his own pop sound. Inspired by Ed Sheeran among others, Don’s emotions and personal feelings take the forefront in his writing, allowing him to make honest yet catchy and accessible music.
Speaking on ‘Caught Up’, Don Said – “Caught Up is about the feeling you get when no matter what you do, no matter what happens between you and this other person. You’ll always have a soft spot for them. I wrote this song because even though I’ve tried to move on from this one girl, I just haven’t been able to. It’s been 3 years and instead of fighting my feelings I just thought I’d accept it instead and that it’s ok to have feelings for someone even if they don’t reciprocate it.”
Starting off as a classical pianist, Don soon moved onto learning acoustic guitar and learning to sing before discovering his love for Pop music and beginning to write his own songs. Having studied music performance at university, he decided that music was more than just a hobby and began to release his music for the world to hear!
Don Mai is releasing a selection of new material throughout 2021 starting with ‘Caught Up’ which is out now.
