Danny Griffiths Celebrates Glassnote Deal With 'Lightweight Champion' Release
(GR) Danny Griffiths today announces his worldwide signing to Glassnote Records and the release of his highly anticipated debut single, "Lightweight Champion." After months of fans asking for its release the Shrewsbury, UK singer-songwriter has finally put the record onto streaming platforms.
Danny Griffiths' story began singing covers in local pubs. As he grew more comfortable performing for an audience, he started introducing his own material into his sets. Those songs quickly found an audience of their own, with "Lightweight Champion" becoming a standout of his live set and helping fuel a rapidly growing fanbase.
Before officially releasing the single, Griffiths generated 14M+ views, 80K+ saves and thousands of comments across social media, while his following surpassed 70K. Myles Smith added to the buzz by commenting, "Love this," on one of Griffiths' videos performing his unreleased song "Hang Up."
"Lightweight Champion" has been at the centre of the momentum. Shared repeatedly in demo form, the song has prompted a steady stream of thousands of fans asking when they could finally hear it in full.
The online momentum has translated directly into a growing live audience, with Griffiths selling out multiple headline shows for the past six months. He has also supported The Kooks, Jamie Webster, and The K's with headline dates continuing through November and December with even bigger touring dates set to announce for 2027.
For Glassnote, the signing marks the next chapter for an artist who has already demonstrated the ability to build a genuine audience before releasing music commercially. Daniel Glass (Founder and CEO of Glassnote Music) comments, "Glassnote was founded with the ideal of signing Artists who are unforgettable Live performers that truly connect with their fans. When we first heard Danny's songs and then witnessed the passionate response from the audience each night he performs, we knew he belonged with us. The exponential growth of his audience points to a very successful career. It is always a dream to have so many respected industry people requesting a song that has not been released yet. Such is the case with "Lightweight Champion," which, until now, only belonged to Danny Griffiths' fans."
"I'm delighted to be joining Daniel and his team at Glassnote Records. Their fierce independent spirit and passion for my music resonated deeply with me from our first early meetings. I can't wait to get started." - Danny Griffiths
Danny is represented by the teams at Prolifica Management (Colin Schaverien and Stefano Anselmetti) and Solo Agency Limited (Charly Beedell-Tuck).
"Lightweight Champion" is finally here, and with Glassnote Records behind him, Danny Griffiths is ready to take the song, and his story, worldwide.
