A song about a man who lost at love and can't move on

Time is No Friend

Singer/songwriter Mark Henes is a living, breathing embodiment of the spirit of American music.  Well versed in everything from the classic honky-tonk of Hank Williams to the electric soul of Jimi Hendrix, he reimagines Americana for the 21st century, with high energy songs that range from thoughtful introspection to all out rock.

Born and raised in Nashville, TN, Henes’ career as a musician seemed almost predetermined.  Growing up in the recording capitol of America, he was constantly surrounded by music.  The high lonesome sound of vintage country, the sensitivity of the seventies singer/songwriters, the ferocity of the electric blues, he absorbed them all before he was even a young man.  By the time he began performing around town, it was like he’d been doing it all his life.  When he finally started writing songs of his own, he blended all of his influences into one sound that only he could make.  

In 2020 he officially arrived on the scene with his debut LP ‘Crystallized Reflections.’  A convincing and passionate collection of songs spanning several genres, it was well received locally with one critic praising its “haunting alt country and raucous rockiness.”  Now Mark is building on his early success and bracing for a national audience with the release his newest single, ‘What Could You Be Right Now.’  With an eye for poetic detail that matches his muscular instrumental arrangements, he explores the modern world fearlessly, offering a unique perspective all its own. 

While many musicians are content to be boxed into one genre, Mark is the rare artist who can draw connections between seemingly disparate styles to create something one of a kind.  He is truly unique in the world of singer/songwriters and his music is well worth your time.

Building bridges between past and present; being moved by a detail… With fine precision, Arewe exploring electropopmusic songs that fuses vintage influences with contemporary beats. Are we able to remember ? Arewe ?

Kooks Dan’o is the stage name of American singer‑songwriter Daniel S. Passarini.  Based in Johnstown, Colorado, he describes himself as “just a guy, writing & recording music in his home studio.” Since 2021 he’s self‑released a prolific catalog of albums and singles, including Landings (2021), Elements of Past Static Debris (2022), Songs for Lulu, Terra Firma, Single Track Mind, and Islands of Ataraxia (all 2023). His sound blends rock, country, indie and folk‑singer‑songwriter styles, with introspective lyrics and intimate home‑studio production.

Kooks Dan’o’s catalog is built around intimate, guitar‑centered songs that pull from a mix of folk, country, indie and rock, often with a lo‑fi, “bedroom” production aesthetic and deeply introspective lyrics. Across all of these genres, the throughline is Dan’o’s personal, reflective lyrics—meditations on love, loss and longing—wrapped in warm, guitar‑first productions that feel both honest and home‑made. 

Dan’o’s lyrical voice is defined by: natural imagery (storms, oceans, seasons, dust, echoes), melancholic honesty about love, self-doubt, and loss, and a minimalist, poetic style with lines that feel like secrets whispered into tape.

By all accounts, Kooks Dan’o isn’t flaunting flashy shred—he’s a songwriter first, and his guitar work is solid, tasteful and service‑oriented. Kooks Dan’o’s guitar playing — particularly in the context of home‑studio, singer‑songwriter production — is confident and versatile—never ostentatious, but always perfectly pitched to serve the song. 

 Fans have highlighted Dan’o’s intimate, laid‑back performance, strong melodic sense and polished yet personal production, likening his work to cherished folk‑rock and indie‑country touchstones.

After a nearly two-year break, Kooks Dan’o has three projects currently lined up and in the works: two unique concept albums, as well as a “Live at Home” acoustic performance album with accompanying video series. Look for these projects to be available sometime in 2026 and/or 2027.

Hey, my name is Markus. In the past I've made Metal, Punk and Heavy Rock with my friends in my garage. I played the bass guitar and sometimes vocals. But that was way back (in the 90s). Now I produce my own songs at home and upload them. The music styles are from Metal, Punk, Rock to House and Dance, just everything I like. I would be happy if my songs are heard and positive feedback comes. I am also interested in cooperation and publish acapellas at looperman.com

I am a pro musician and multi-instrumentalist and singer. 
My main instrument is the tenor sax though. 
I was a member of a famous Dutch band, the Dizzy Man's Band. 
I played in big theatre shows and musicals and later on had a solo career as Nick McAlley.
 I still feel the urge to write and record my own music.  
 I thank you for taking the time to listen!  Especially if you're an old soul with a young heart.
