____________________________________________
"I am stunned by how blessed I am! With Daniel's help, I have bypassed the casual demos and thousands of rejections, and the desperate attempts to find a band or people who could maybe help. In a very short time, Daniel managed to tap into, enhance and develop the roots of my efforts into something so real and industry-ready. I am totally, incredibly blown away!" ELLE SCOTT, Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist
"In 2005, Daniel spent some time with me between CD projects. It was a great learning experience to watch a producer with so much musical intuition and experience re-write, arrange and record. With his encouragement and encyclopedic production knowledge, Daniel created shocking results while I watched. It was so enlightening that I wish I had a video of the sessions so I could go back over the various pearls of wisdom!" MITCH AVERY, Singer/Songwriter/Multi-instrumentalist, Avery Mitchell Band
"After nearly 15-years in all aspects of the music business, I have become pretty on-guard when it comes to the promises of others. Daniel Christophersons help with songwriting and production has been a Godsend! He can listen to a song once, and immediately know six ways we can take it to the next level." LYNN MAAS, Singer, Guitarist and Songwriter
"Daniel, I absolutely love the song you custom-wrote for me. It is simply too beautiful for words! Thank you a million times over for all of the heart and soul you so willingly poured into my song. You have no idea how much it means to me to have you on our team." PETRA TILOTTA, Singer and Songwriter (KLSY 92.5 FM and KOMO 5 TV Talent Search)
"After touring the country doing sold out shows with Danzig, the Damnaged line-up dissolved. I approached Daniel about producing the next CD. Despite the major obstacle of having no band (!!!), Christopherson hired the best players around, producing masters that are polished and ready for radio. Definitely the best Damnaged has ever sounded. No small feat, when you consider that when the band was together, we recorded in some of the most expensive studios around. He really listened to what was important to me, and I trust Daniel completely. The music is being shopped in LA, and we are constantly getting feedback about the great tunes and phenomenal production." NICOLAS WOODWARD, lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter for Damnaged
"Having worked with many folks in the business of recording and playing music over the course of more than 30 years, Daniel Christopherson offers one of the best producer "packages" I have ever been associated with. His production sensibilities, artistic scope and vision, along with his knowledge of the essential tools of the business are second to no one. Daniel is a complete professional, but his easygoing, engaging, and giving personality are some of his best tools for keeping a creative and musically productive environment happening in the studio." DAN MOHLER, Professional Bassist/Studio Player
