Clearly, she must have seen a rock star spark in Claflin, too, because she gave him the kick he needed to get into the world of rock 'n' roll. Luckily for Claflin, though, Daisy Jones & The Six music supervisor Frankie Pine was there every day, telling everyone what needed to be done and how they would go about doing it. Obviously, Claflin eventually landed the gig, where he would cross paths with music stars like Marcus Mumford, Phoebe Bridgers, and Jackson Browne (who collaborated on and/or co-wrote songs for the show), and Sound City Studios producers Blake Mills and Tony Berg.īut if he didn't get over the nerves of that first audition, none of that would've ever happened. "The first time I ever walked into a recording studio was my audition for this, and the way they tell you to make love to a microphone was something that was very brand new to me," he says over Zoom with a laugh, remembering his first moments on the project. And it wasn't quite like anything he'd delved into before. For the first time in his life, auditioning for the show meant stepping into the world of rock 'n' roll. And, of course, he's always been a "very competent shower singer." But playing Billy Dunne-the male lead of Daisy Jones & The Six and the frontman of the titular band-went a whole lot deeper than that. He'd sang along with the radio and at parties and anywhere else that people sing along. He's an actor, after all, and it wasn't all Hunger Games and Peaky Blinders -he'd done musical theater. IT ISN'T that Sam Claflin had never sung before. ![]()
