Songwriter, producer, artist and multi-instrumentalist David Lucius King talks to Headliner about working out of London’s iconic Metropolis Studios, his extensive production and songwriting collaboration with Danny O’Donoghue and The Script, and reveals how oeksound plugins help to enhance his creative process in the studio.
Joining Headliner on a call from his studio apartment in the heart of South London, with its glass wall providing panoramic views of the capital, David Lucius King was keen to discuss his musical endeavours of late. Like many producers of his calibre, he started doing Zoom sessions during the UK lockdown, which opened up a completely new aspect of the songwriting world.
While King jokes that this may have “turned him into a bit of a hermit”, it was in fact at London’s iconic Metropolis Studios where he cut his teeth in production, and where he first became acquainted with some of his now long-time collaborators with whom he has cultivated rock-solid musical relationships.
