Declan McKenna Facts

  1. Soon after Declan had won the ‘Emerging Talent Competition’ at the 2015 Glastonbury Festival, he had been signed up by a major talent management agency. More than 40 record label companies had tried to sign him thereafter, and he had chosen to go with Columbia Records.
  2. In August 2015, he had self-released his first single, titled Brazil. It was a protest song where he had criticized FIFA, the governing body of global soccer, for awarding the hosting rights of the FIFA World Cup to Brazil in 2014 without addressing the widespread poverty in the country. The song had peaked at number one on Sirius XM Radio‘s ‘Alt Nation Alt 18 Countdown’ in January 2016 and had stayed number 1 for 3 weeks. It had also reached number 16 on the U.S. Billboard Alternative Songs chart.
  3. The song had given Declan global attention with many soccer fans and journalists also linking the song to the massive corruption scandal involving FIFA that was emerging around the same time. Weirdly, his single Isombard had been featured on the soundtrack of FIFA‘s official video game FIFA 17.
  4. In November 2015, he had self-released his second single, titled Paracetamol. The song had discussed how the mainstream media was blatantly misrepresenting transgender teenagers. He had later explained that the title of the song had been inspired by the fact that some politicians were disturbingly portraying LGBT+ conversion therapy as a ‘treatment’ for transgendered teens as if they were suffering from a disease.
  5. He is a vegan.
