Danny Webster on SoundBetter

Hey there ! I will take your fully-written song and add layers and layers of parts that I think add character and ambience. I'm proficient in instruments such as bass, guitar, drums, mandolin, synth, percussion, and background vocals. I specialize in indie music like Tame Impala, The Beatles, Mac Demarco, Alex G, Mitski, etc. Let's make a tune !

Hey dude ! Danny here. I'm a 25-year-old musician and artist based in Toronto, Canada. Over the past 11 years I have been writing, recording and producing music for myself and other artists. I've released over 70 songs under my own name (check me out on Spotify) and have worked with countless artists to help achieve their goals with their songs. I know how daunting it can be to have a song and not know where to start but I'm here to help ya buddy. I'm a multi instrumentalist that's most confident in indie, folk, pop and rock, like Tame Impala, the Beatles, Phoebe Bridgers, etc. Hit me up !
