Hey, I’m Dan — a freelance music producer and artist mentor.

I work with indie artists who care deeply about their music, their message, and building a career that actually lasts.

 

You might be here because you’re getting ready to release, or maybe you’re feeling a bit lost on what to do next. Either way — I’ve got you.

​

This isn't just about making your song sound good

It’s about helping you:

 

  • Get clear on your sound and direction

​

  • Plan your next release with confidence

​

  • Grow your momentum without the guesswork

​

  • Feel genuinely supported — creatively and professionally

 

Whether you’re looking for full production, mentoring, or release strategy help — this is a space built for you.

Is this for you?

You’ll feel right at home here if:

​​

​

  • You’re a pop artist or singer-songwriter who wants to do it right

 

  • You’re planning your next release (or wondering how to start)

 

  • You’ve got ambition, but want clarity and a bit of backup

 

  • You’re ready to invest in your music, your message, and your future

Imogen Taylor
Pop-Singer Songwriter

"I’d highly recommend Dan to work with. He is a great producer and is always open to letting me add ideas to the production of my songs (never suppresses or disregards my ideas/ visions). He is also a brilliant artist mentor, always guiding and supporting me throughout!"

Jordi Highdale
Pop-Singer Songwriter

"Working with Dan has taught me so much, I have a whole deeper understanding of music, I learned a lot more about my artistry and he’s taught me a lot more about the industry and how it works. He also gave me the push and the confidence to go and write my own stuff and now songwriting is one of my favourite things to do. I will definitely work with dan for the rest of my career as he’s a brilliant producer and mentor."

So, what's next?

I like to keep things simple — and personal.

 

Before we dive in, I ask every artist to fill out a short Project Planner. It gives me a better sense of where you're at, what you need, and whether I'm the right fit to support you.

 

It only takes a few minutes — and then if it feels like a match, I’ll follow up personally with next steps.
