WHO I AM:

I have been a music producer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, composer and sound designer for over 30 years.

I have co-written and produced all 6 albums by Belladonna - the band I founded, hailed by ROLLING STONE as "creators of a world full of mystery and eroticism" -, including songs like "Foreverland" (in the 2008 GRAMMY ballot as Best Rock Song), "Nothing Shines Unless It Burns" (featuring world-famous physicist and author CARLO ROVELLI), "Spiders of Gomorrah" (licensed in the trailer of the NETFLIX series "GODLESS"), and "The God Below" (licensed in the trailer of the blockbuster movie "MINIONS").

    Dani attention to details is second to none. He provides constructive and detailed comments to my song, and suggestions on how to improve my production without hurting my ego. Look no further if you r looking for a music collaborator or producer, Dani is someone you should definitely consider!

    I went through a third-party site to get feedback on my song. Most of the feedback was very generic, and didn't offer me a lot to work with as a songwriter looking to improve future releases. Dani was honest, and genuinely took the time to give me feedback (even if it was not all positive), and I could tell that she truly listened and used her vast knowledge to help me improve. Highly recommend.

    Dani is a long term fan of my band Witchfynde and in 2015 Dani mastered the Witchfynde album The Lost Tapes which had been recorded in 1975 and hidden away until found again in the 2000's. Dani did an amazing job as the recordings were so old and he made them sound as good as was humanly possible. Would thoroughly recommend Dani for you recording etc. needs.

    I'm lucky enough to have had personalized feedback from Dani on a track I produced recently. His feedback was constructive and sincere. On the production side, he thought it was pretty well done, and didn't hesitate to express reservations about the content and my motivations. We were able to exchange ideas and I'm very happy about that. His analysis is sharp and to the point. I could tell from his comments that Dani is fuelled by a passion for music, and that after so many years in the business, he's able to bring that little extra something that will make all the difference to your songs.

    I am a songwriter and I am in transition to a professional level. Dani is a very human and friendly person. He listens to my songs and gives me very precise, high-quality feedback on the value of my work. He explains precisely where the melodic weaknesses are, if the lyrics are good, how I can improve them, if my songs are coherent with the current music market. It gives me the keys to reach the professional level of songwriting. I recommend Dani Macchi without hesitation.

    I had the opportunity for Dani to review my song “Istanbul” from my project “Scot Free Sessions”. It was real nice having someone you could tell really “listened” to the song and gave pinpoint advice. My wheelhouse is all about the lyrics and Dani made a suggestion that I had never even thought of before and I thought “you know what, that’s a great suggestion and he’s right”. This was on a song that had been heavily scrutinized and reviewed as it finished top two in the International Songwriting Competition in lyrics. Dani came at it at a whole different angle - real impressive!!!

    I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to have Dani assess one of my songs. He was very complimentary and described it as being in the top 2% of songs he reviewed but the most important input Dani provided was the insight into how to leverage finesse in the vocal lines to enhance the song. I am now fully incorporating his insights into my current projects and the results are speak for themselves. The latest tracks are by far the best I have ever done thanks to Dani's inspiration and advice. Dani you are a truly talented and professional producer that has made me a better artist.

    We were so grateful for Dani's great review of our song "Take My Hand"; he's a writer/producer who knows what he's talking about; and we appreciated his words immensely. He produces great music and is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry;-))

    I found Dani to be extremely responsive, thorough and thoughtful in his assessment of one of my songs. He took the time to dissect the song, give real examples of valuable song elements and provide very useful advice. It is evident that he loves what he does AND that he is good at it! I really valued our interactions. True professional! I highly recommend Dani

    Dani took my song “Turn Back Around” and made it awesome! Not only did he produce and mix, he added musically. I’m excited for the next song! -Robbie Rapids

    We are a band from Detroit, USA and have been working with Dani. We are very happy with his production work! Dani is very professional, has a great ear and is always about getting the best out of the music. He is very efficient at analyzing music and communicating the strengths and weaknesses of a composition. His production knowledge is top notch and we have no reservations endorsing him. Dani is very friendly and has a great sense of humor, which makes working with him a very pleasing musical experience. He is always there to answer questions and help out. Powers of the Monk.

    Dani gave me a wonderful and detailed review of my album, and I really appreciate it. Sometimes you request these reviews and it's clear that the reviewer didn't really listen to it; the review is composed of generalities and unspecific references; basically a smattering of unspecific adjectives and platitudes that you could fire off at anyone. Not so with Dani; he referenced my actual songs by name and gave specific feedback, which I really appreciated. Thank you!
