A singer-song writer hailing from South London, Dan’s epic indie-folk songs, are simple and direct in their arrangement. Dan manages to marry his catchy pop melodies with intimate and affecting lyrics, which he delivers with soft and passionate vocals. Dan first brought his back catalogue of self-penned tunes to the stage, when at Sheffield University. Playing his songs at low- key acoustic showcases in coffee shops and bars, Dan built up a modest but dedicated following whilst in Sheffield, which has remained to watch him on his Journey on the London circuit. Whilst playing such venues as the “Lark in The Park” in Islington, Dan’s live performances have blossomed. This has seen him asked to return to play the “Twist” acoustic showcase in Greenwich, after a triumphant debut appearance in May of this year. Dan has recently enlisted the help of several talented musicians to help him record his unnamed debut EP. Currently in the rehearsal process, Dan will be entering the studio in February when recording will commence at Worlds End Sound studio in Kent. Now with violin and cello accompaniment to name just two of the added instrumentation, Dan’s slower arrangements are already developing a distinctive operatic feel.
