Dan has been actively involved in the Australian recording industry for over 15 years and his presence as such has been likened to the furniture of most professionally reputable recording studios between Sydney, Byron Bay and Melbourne. Highlights of some artist releases Dan has been involved with but are not limited to, are; Boy George, Tones & I, Gurrumul, Conan Gray, Noah Kahan, Delta Goodrem, Montaigne, Ruel, The Whitlams, Amy Shark, DMA’s, Joe Jonas, Guy Sebastian, King Princess, Genesis Owusu, Bernard Fanning & Peter Garrett. Including Accolades for a total of 8 x ARIA wins on records Dan has had various active roles in. (You can find specifics to which projects in the discography section)

After spending the majority of that 15 year long career span as in-house Producer/Engineer at Forbes St. Studios (Universal Music’s Studio), Sony Studios in Sydney and Studios 301 (Both the Alexandria & Byron Bay facility) which inevitably led Dan to meeting and experiencing some amazing people and projects, including a chance encounter with Tones & I which after spending what was meant to be one day together, he ended up engineering most of her first full length album ‘Welcome to the Madhouse’ including the ARIA winning ‘Song of the Year’ (2022) ‘Cloudy Day’ and her more recent single, the anthem for the 2023 Matildas soccer team ‘The Greatest’. Which was recorded inside a studio Dan was commissioned by Tones and I to build on her property.

Dan now has his own space setup at Bernard Fanning’s & Nick DiDia’s purpose built studio Brooklet Recording alongside local legend Jordan Power in Byron Bay, which he now runs most of his sessions from and utilises the larger room in the facility for the classic band style tracking sessions, see the link below for full overview of the space.

Dan’s studio operandi is simply to keep the essence of a ‘live’ performance. Achieved through pulling his unique tone he’s developed over the years into the foreground and managing to conjure up a complete sound from his own world - Maintaining the electricity of a human playing an instrument while keeping an open palette for the production to inspire the creation and vice versa.

Dan’s ethos is simple, garner the performance from the artist and let him help you find that unique sound that the music you naturally resonate with is. Harnessing an innate ability to cover a range of instruments himself, showcased through a variety of his productions but really coming to life through producing and delving into the world of analog synths, spacey guitars and unorthodox string arrangements on his own solo ambient/neo-classical project ‘Mittere’.
