Dan is a guitarist and writer whose music has been heard on TV shows around the world including CBS’s Thursday Night Football and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
Dan developed a love of producing music in the small Alaskan fishing town of Port Alexander where he grew up. When Dan decided to pursue music as a career, his dad told him to work hard to achieve your dreams and help others along the way. Vivid Pop is Dan’s chosen vehicle toward this end.
Today, Dan resides in Minneapolis where he enjoys bike commuting, traveling (especially home to Alaska), playing cribbage and finding/creating the perfect music for a scene.
