Owen Danoff on SoundBetter

I would love to help you write a song, add vocals and bass to your track, or all of the above! I'm an award-winning songwriter and write for myself and other artists. My main genres are pop, folk, and singer/songwriter - with experience with other genres too. I was on NBC's The Voice and recently played bass and guitar in an Off-Broadway musical

My goal and passion in life is to make music that is meaningful to the people who hear it. I've been playing music and writing songs for myself since I was a teenager, and am a graduate of Berklee College of Music. My influences range across multiple genre and time periods, but some artists and writers that especially stand out to me are Paul Simon, Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), and Ed Sheeran.

As a songwriter, I have experience in writing for all kinds of projects - from writing for touring country and pop artists (Charles Esten of ABC's Nashville, Sean Grandillo, Anthony Ortiz), to helping people with no songwriting experience express themselves through music. I'm also a performing singer/songwriter and have won awards including the American Songwriter Lyric Writing Contest and the Bernard/Ebb Songwriting Competition.

As a vocalist, I have lots of experiencing both performing and singing on sessions and demos. I was invited to be on season 10 of NBC's The Voice, where I reached the top 12 on Adam Levine's team.

As an instrumentalist, I've played with artists and bands spanning multiple genres - from pop band Running Lights, to singer/songwriter Liz Longley, to country/americana icon Emmylou Harris. Most recently, I played bass and guitar in the Off-Broadway musical Only Human, which starred Gary Busey.

I would love to hear more about your project!

    Owen is the only one who can put your ideas into words, that's for sure.
    It was fun and a great journey that I explored with him.

    Sometimes it's fate when the paths of two artists cross. It was the feeling in Owen's demo song that made me stop and spontaneously make the request. It was the best decision I could have made for my song. It was an honor to work with Owen. He knows how to empathize with the song and take it to the next level. It's such a great added value to have Owen as a songwriter as he has a lot of feeling, empathy and knowledge of professional songwriting. I am very grateful to have booked Owen here. THX!!

    Owen was easy to work with for a lyrics project. He provided me a sample to see if we’re on the same page - even with a demo! When I changed direction slightly on him, he was gracious and provided great lyrics. Would work with Owen again without hesitation for songwriting or vocals.

    Owen is awesome 😎 to work with. I always felt my song was good but needed another person to make some adjustments melody and lyrics. Owen was the perfect fit.

    Third time working with Owen and he knocked it out of the park again! Whether he's helping to fill in the cracks of a song, revamping a top line, or crafting a lyric, Owen brings his A-game every time. Can't wait to work with him again!
