About Me

Dan Rodrigues is a professional guitarist and composer. He graduated with honors from the applied music program at Mohawk College and is currently attending Berklee College of Music to study towards a degree in film composition. His passion for music has led him to explore many different styles in an effort to develop a unique and original sound. Its this same passion that sparked Dans interest in film scoring and most of his focus as of late has been on composition. Everything from funk grooves or jazz to orchestral work.
Ok so now that I'm done the whole third part spiel let us get down to the point why I'm here. I love to write for media and make connections with like-minded people. Smart, driven, hard working and easy to get along with. I work diligently to compose the perfect music for any project under any budget. My results are professional and I can discuss music as it relates to dramatic elements rather then blabbing a bunch of hyper theoretical music terms that confuse at best.

Sounds Like: My attempt at composing for Tim Burtons Edward Scissorhands. Danny Elfman is a genius who completely puts this to shame. I love his music and he's a large influence. ComposingDan - Ice Angel
