Inspired to sing at an early age, Dan started playing guitar at the age of 17. With no education in music and just one guitar lesson in major scales, Dan found inspiration through artists when he was growing up like Bob Dylan and Guns N Roses. 

Originally playing electric guitar, Dan started playing acoustic after friends suggested it would better suit the smaller more intimate venues he has been playing across the southwest. Dan has written a number of tracks , but still uses his electric guitar to create riffs because of his love of classic guitar heroes like Slash and Izzy Stradlin. 

Described as a hybrid of blues and old school rock n roll, Dan has also fused influences of 90s alternative rock and punk. 

Released in summer 2015, Dan's debut EP 'Urban Stories' is a colection of real life tales from the streets and Dan's personal feelings on everyday life, which he hopes everyone can relate to. After being picked up by a label, Dan is now preparing to release his second offering in early 2016.

Influences:
Green Day, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Guns N Roses, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, The Beatles, Bob Dylan

"There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain." 
- J. Michael Straczynski
