Time to make the music

About Me

NEWS: Dan is currently finishing music for a major upcoming video game.
Dan Diaz has been playing and writing music since early in elementary school. After playing guitar in and with many bands during his high school and early college years, he began professionally producing and engineering music at the age of twenty, all the while continuing to write and record his own. With dozens of producing, engineering, and mixing credits to his name, he has now begun to focus a great degree of his time and energy on the world of composing music for Video Games, Film, and TV. He just finished composing original music for the upcoming Electronic Arts game "Skate It" for the Nintendo Wii, as well as another soon to be announced game. He also recently composed and produced “Punk and Indie Rock: Slammin’ Sounds of So Cal”; helped write and record "Hip Hop Exotica", "Neo Soul 2", and "Reggaeton", all music libraries distributed by Big Fish Audio; and scored the upcoming full-length film "Dead Signal". In addition, he has recently begun to have cues represented by prominent LA publishing companies for feature film and television placements.
