Dan signed a record deal at the age of 16 which was his first insight into the way the industry works. It was a hard long struggle and changed his views on life in general dramatically. It also helped to mature him but by the time he was 18 he was happy with his progression though he always felt there was more he could learn.
He found himself spending more and more time in the studio
watching the producers work rather than writing.
In 2003 under the watchful eye of Derren Hardwick, he soon learnt the
basic tools for music theory and production using Pro Tools Systems and
spent the next two years honing his production skills and training his
ear.
"I would sit there and just soak up all the information I could with a
pen and a pad. We would be mixing down a track and I would ask the
engineer so why are you doing that now and not to that? What are you
listening out for when you’re applying this?"
"I did that for two years straight along with hitting the studio hard,
waking up at 7am at studio for 8:30am sometimes I wouldn’t leave till
gone 9-10pm."
I offer a number of musical services including full track arrangement, mixing, live performance mixing, and mastering.
