Q: How did you come about the artist name 'Daddy Lion'? What is the story behind it?
A: My wife, then girlfriend, was working at a preschool, and she was telling
me about how one of the little two year olds would always sit there,
reading a book, and whispering to herself 'baby jaguar'. I thought that was kind of funny and somehow decided I would make that the name of my project. We thought it was something the preschooler had made up, until we realized that she was reading 'Go, Diego, Go!' books, which I think is a spin off of 'Dora the Explorer', and one of the characters had that name. Well, I thought on the unlikely chance that Nickelodeon ever found out and was upset, I would change it. So after a couple of twists and turns 'baby jaguar' morphed into 'Daddy Lion'. I found out
recently, however, that Daddy Lion is also a character on 'Go, Diego, Go!' Oh well.
Q: Do you have any aspirations to sign to a major label if you were given the offer? Are you more of the type who prefers the artistic freedom that comes with a small label?
