Dutch is a self-taught musician, singing and playing all of the instruments on this inspiring track. He has a number of great musical influences. The Beatles are an easy number one, but he also appreciates new wave and synth-pop from the ’80s. Blues and jazz legends like Herbie Hancock, Robert Johnson, Bo Diddley, and Howling Wolf are also among his favorites. “The more I listen, the more my taste in music grows and grows,” exclaimed Dutch.
“This song is about the general sense of freedom one feels in a given moment, whether it be personal or otherwise. My favorite part is the major melody shift midway through the song; I had a lot of fun working with it,” said the singer/songwriter. The lyric that put “I Feel Free” in motion was, I’m dashing through the fields/Like I’m soaring through the sky. “As soon as I wrote that lyric down, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this song.”
