Hans Dalen

AT THE EARLY AGE OF 7 HANS WAS INTRODUCED TO A PIANO , HE WAS KEEN TO LEARN AND MUSIC WAS HIS PASSION ,HE TOOK AFEW LESSONS AND UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF HIS SISTER HANS GREW.....SHE NURTURED AND INSPIRED HANS TO PLAY WITH FEELING.

AT THE AGE OF 9 HANS ALSO WANTED TO TRY ANOTHER INSTRUMENT, THE FLUTE WAS INTRODUCED TO HIM AND THE LESSONS FOR THIS ALSO BEGAN.

WHEN HE REACHED THE AGE OF 10 HANS BROTHER INTRODUCED HIM TO HARD ROCK AND METAL , AND HE LOVED THIS .THE FLUTE WAS PLACED ON THE SHELF AND HE AQUIRED HIS FIRST DRUMSET.

NOW MUSIC TOOK A TURN FOR HANS AND IT BECAME MORE SERIOUS.AFTER ALOT OF PRACTICE AND SUPPORT FROM HIS LOVING PARENTS,,WHICH TO THIS DAY STILL ASTOUNDS HANS HOW THEY MANAGED IT ALL.....HANS AND A FEW FRIENDS FORMED THEIR FIRST BAND.

AT HIS 13TH BIRTHDAY HANS RECIEVED AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR ,EVEN THOUGH HE WAS STILL INTO PLAYING THE DRUMS.HANS PLAYED BOTH, WITH A PASSION FOR A YEAR OR SO UNTIL HE GOT HIS FIRST ELECTRIC GUITAR.THEN HE WENT ONE STEP FURTHER AND KNEW HE HAD TO DECIDE WHICH HIS HEART WAS FOLLOWING......HE SOLD THE DRUMSET AND PUT ALL HIS FOCUS INTO HIS GUITAR PLAYING.

HANS EMERGED ON THE SCENE IN THE EARLY 90's IN A BAND KNOWN AS GROMS,HE SHOWED HIS TRUE TALENT AS THEIR GUITARIST AND FOR 6 YEARS HE TRAVELLED AND ROCKED GIGS AND AUDIENCES ALIKE.THEY RECORED THEIR ALBUM KNOWN AS ASCENSION AND TO THIS DAY IT IS STILL RAVED ON ABOUT AMOUNGST DIE HARD FANS.

THE DEATH METAL BAND SADLY WENT THEIR SEPERATE WAYS IN ' 96.

HANS TOOK A BREAK UNTIL 2007 WHEN HE ONCE AGAIN PICKED UP HIS GUITAR AND BEGAN PRACTICING HIS RIFFS,AND SONGS HE USED TO PLAY. WITH THIS OPENED THE NEW WORLD OF HIS OWN WRITING,

IN 2008 HANS USED HIS TIME TO PUTTING WICKED TUNES TO PAPER,WRITING HIS MUSIC AND RECORDING FROM HOME.HE HAS A COLLECTION OF FINISHED SONGS AND A HEAD FULL OF IDEA'S.....AS WE UNDERSTAND WRITING A SONG CAN BE A SLOW PROCESS AND HANS CRUSIES THROUGH MAKING EACH NOTE PERFECT,FOR WHICH WE ARE ALL GREATFUL.
SOME SONGS HAVE TAKEN MONTHS TO COMPLETE,NOT THAT HANS FINDS IT COMPLICATED BUT HE ENJOYS WHAT HE MAKES AND TAKES HIS TIME TO ENSURE PERFECTION.

IN THE YEAR OF 2009 HANS TOOK HIS RECORDINGS TO A STUDIO TO BE MIXED AND MASTERED PROFESSIONALLY. THESE ARE THE SONGS YOU WILL FIND ON HANS DALEN'S FIRST SOLO EP.

THIS WILL HIT THE MOST HUNTED PLACES FOR EXCELLENT SOUNDS....ITUNES, AMAZON AND OTHER OUTLETS,AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 20TH 2009 ITS A MUST TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR AND EAR CANDY TO BOOT,YOU CANT GO WRONG WHEN YOU PURCHASE THIS.

THE PRINTING OF CD'S IS ALSO IN THE WORKS AND DATES WILL FOLLOW AS TO WHEN THESE WILL BE MADE FOR RELEASE!

HANS IS BUSY WRITING NEW SONGS AND IN THE NEAR FUTURE HOPES TO GO LIVE WITH HIS OWN BAND,AND MAKE A FULL CD....FINGERS CROSSED THIS WONT BE LONG AS BELIEVE ME HE HAS ALREADY MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF AND HAS HIS OWN DIE HARD FANS AND FOLLWERS.....HE IS ROCKING THE AIRWAVES BY STATIONS,AND IN THE NEAR FUTURE HE HAS SOME INTERVIEWS TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH.

SOME OF HIS REVIEWS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE TUNED INTO HANS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Awesome tone & very tasteful licks. Very smooth on the arpeggios, your a pleasure to listen to!

Your phrasing is awesome and really shines through the mix. I love your choice of intervals in your arpeggios, your signature is in there... Wonderful!

Good music, very technical play, i enjoy !!!!
I'll be back on your place...

You have that awesome old school vibe

Rippin' guitar work and killer tunes!

Can't get enough of Back to Life, it's frigging great! Keep up the great work.

My favorite song is "Tribute", I love your guitar works very much! The rhythm makes it very interesting! Go on with stuff like that, it..s great!

You're really amazing.
I love all you songs..

your music is awesome and inspiring...

i dont know what it is about ur great music... but am totally addicted!!!!!!!!!! any chances of coming to India....

You're music is sounding great! just discovered you but I'm definitely now a fan =D

beautiful melodic playing by the way, I really love the coil tapped tones and sensitive touch. It's nice to know that there are still guitarists out there who use their head when playing and not just their hands... if you get my drift?

You are the real deal, Hans! Instrumental rock with heart, passion, great melodies and plenty of shredding chops. What more could a guitar-freak like me ask for?

THE MORE I LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC THE MORE I LIKE IT!! LOVIN TRIBUTE & BACK TO LIFE!!

your music is fantastically masterful and top notch, you Rock

We liked a lot your music, fantastic tunes, and lots of feelings on your hands!

NOW ALL THESE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SAYING....HANS DALEN IS A FORCE TO RECKON WITH,HE IS TAKING THE WORLD BY STORM AND WE WELCOME YOU AND THANK YOU FOR BEING APART OF HIS JOURNEY....GOODLUCK HANS !!!
