Damien vocal about clip




DAMIEN Leith has wasted no time using that golden voice to put his own stamp on his newfound music career.

While previous Idol winners have struggled to be heard in the frantic early days of their recording career, Leith said he had been encouraged to speak up about the video clip for his debut single Night Of My Life.
The popular Irishman spent 12 hours in a blocked-off Chippendale street in Sydney yesterday shooting the video after only four hours' sleep in two days.

"When I read the original draft I wasn't keen at all. We chatted about it and they came up with a different idea," he told music writer Kathy McCabe.

"We gave it a go and I hope it's the one they end up using as we've taken two directions with the clip. It was a good day, I really enjoyed it."

Leith said he would be discussing plans for his debut album with SonyBMG executives tomorrow and was hopeful more of his self-penned tunes would make the cut.
