Hi, I'm Dan, guitar player/producer based in LA. I’m the touring guitarist for twenty one pilots and some of my recent production/guitar playing credits include lil aaron, Lund, (Universal) Bryce Vine, (Warner Bros) Trevor Daniel (RCA), and more.
I specialize in pop/rock/pop-punk but can do any style. I record everything through my Kemper Profiler and have hundreds of external profiles loaded on it. I own a variety of guitars (Gibson ES-335, Nash Custom Tele, Baritone, P-Bass, '66 Musicmaster, Charvel, Martin Acoustic, Gretsch Lap Steel, etc...) so I can get pretty much any tone you want.
On top of recording guitars/bass/acoustic for your song, I can do anything from tune your vocals to fully produce it for you. Hit me up, I'm extremely easy to work with, fast, and I'm confident we can get your song to where you want it to be.

check_circleVerifiedDan was awesome to work with ! Quick turn around and really brought my track to life
Dan’s one of the freshest guitarists I know. From simple acoustic strumming to shredding leads to catchy guitar hooks this dude can pull off anything and do it in 1/10th the amount of time it would take me. He’s also a great songwriter and beat maker so HIRE DAN he knows what’s up

A: Since the pandemic, I'll usually get hit for guitar loops/starts for whatever sessions one of my producer friends are doing. I'll send over 5-10 ideas. Other times, I'll get tracks sent to me asking me to replay a synth part as a guitar, make a subpar guitar better, add a solo etc. It's always different!
