The holiday season often brings a level of familiarity that is both comforting and joyous. The bright lights, tinsel decorations, and Christmas Carols bring back nostalgic memories that remind us of what time of the year we are in. However, for the accomplished Zimbabwean songwriter and artist Daecolm this year’s Christmas is also giving something very new!

Daecolm, who was born in Zimbabwe but now lives between London and Los Angeles recently flew into LA to work with Chris Brown on his recently released Its Giving Christmas holiday single.

“I got to Los Angeles and one of my boys, who I work with mentioned that Chris Brown had an idea for a Christmas single.  There had been a few songs already written and some instrumentals on the shortlist. I went to the studio and ended up picking a completely different instrumental than what was offered to me and I even sped it up a little, which was a different approach. Chris loved it and to my surprise, he was already mixing and mastering it the next day. Things moved so fast after that! Then his team reached out to discuss the business and paperwork. Then I see he is already posting about releasing Christmas singles this year and soon after that the single was out as part of his It’s Giving Christmas 2 pack. 

Working on this single was amazing. It is definitely the quickest turnaround I have ever experienced from writing, to recording and release. The total turnaround time was just 2 weeks.“

shared Daecolm about their collaboration. 

This single is not the first time Daecolm has collaborated with Chris Brown, most recently he wrote Passing Time on Chris’ Grammy Nominated album Breezy. He also co-composed Frustrated, Bite My Tongue and If You’re Down off Brown’s 2017 album Heartbreak on a Full Moon. 

Daecolm has built an impressive list of achievements as a performer, writer and producer. The multi-talented Zimbabwean has worked with other international stars such as Ty Dolla $ign, Mario, Ella Mai, Labrinth, Ella Mai, YK Osiris, Headie One, Yungen, Adekunle Gold, Tiesto, Tchami, Kehlani, Yxng Bane, Elijah Blake, and many more
