| About Mannik Dara |
If you haven’t heard of Mannik Dara, you’ve been missing a music super-power. Dominating mp3 players, podcasts and airwaves across the Atlantic and beyond, Mannik Dara has rapidly become a household name in the international music scene. With a unique blend of vivid imagination and unmatched technical ability, he creates instrumental “motion pictures” that appeal to all the senses. Like many of the best producers, Mannik uses his own special formula when he’s in the lab.
His love for music began early in life as he studied several instruments throughout his grade school years. He officially began his career as a professional DJ in college and with an increased desire to spin his own music, started recording his original sound shortly thereafter. As a live performer that began touring across the western and mid-western U.S., he’s expanded his reach into international markets.
His latest offering, “Headphone Nectar: Volume 1,” a flavorful mix of styles including dance, classic hip-hop, electronic and world genres, has won many fans in the European, African and Asian markets. From fitness music to film/tv soundtracks, he has earned a solid reputation as the world’s most versatile music producer.
Ad creatives, music supervisors and forward-thinking entertainment executives are acknowledging Mannik Dara as music’s next pioneer.
There’s music…and then there’s MANNIK DARA.
