He went on to become a founding member of the Grammy Award winning band, OK Go and has played drums with them for the last 20 years. OK Go began recording and touring in 1998, and they haven’t stopped yet. The band was signed to Capitol Records in 2001, and won the Grammy Award for Best Music Video by 2006. Nominated for two more Grammy Awards since, OK Go continue to receive a multitude of other honors and awards from two MTV Music Video Awards to two YouTube Music Video awards and, notably, the Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award.

In 2009, Dan decided to branch out from the band to also become a more involved writer and collaborator.

    Nashville is filled with really good musicians. Duh! If you want to work with musicians who are so much better than “really good,” then choose Dan and his team who created an extraordinary music production for my song. He added top of the line session musicians to the production mix. This was way above my expectations. I’ve never been disappointed with SoundBetter.com. Dan is at the top of my list. Thank you for taking care of all of the important details. It supercharged my song!
