About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)Dan became lead vocalist for the group Mercenary on Portrait Records. Here he worked with Rusty DAddio of Ronnie James Dio and Richie Blackmore. Dans experience as a premier vocalist continued throughout the 1980s with stints as lead vocalist for the group Orphan on Polygram Records and singer/songwriter with the group Face the Music, working with Jerry Love at Paramount/Famous Music. Dans vocal talents soon began to be sought out for commercial work and in the early 1990s Dans list of successful commercial work began. This list includes Seagram Wine Cooler for HB&B, working with producer Cheryl Smith, Transformers (Robots in Disguise), Space Marines from Aliens III, and hundreds of television/radio commercials including Revlon, Pizza Hut, Tetley Tea, AT&T, Matchbox, and BC Powder. During this time Dan also started producing vocals, arranging and executing background vocals for a variety of producers and artists, also doing voice-over work for SEM&M in New York City. In 1996 Dans career expanded. After relocating to Nashville, Tennessee he started producing, arranging and executing solo vocals including background vocals for Chuck Howard, Byron Gallimore, Stuart Harris, and John Berry. His roots as a vocalist still continued working with Bucket Colwell of Bad Company, singing with the group Public Witness and on a host of jingles for Coors Lite, BC Powder in Nashville, Chicago and New York City. In 1998, Dan started a production/development company with the goal of helping artists and/or producers not only with tracks, but focussing on VOCAL PRODUCTION . Dan produced, arranged and wrote seven songs on the SALT record *SATISFIED. The single "Get Back" went to 13 R&R charts Dec 2001, and the single "Satisfied" went to 20.
