An avid ambassador for WA music, Dan has over 15 years of professional experience in the music and entertainment industry after growing up with a guitar in hand.

With a solid background in songwriting, live performance, studio recording and production, live sound, tour management and marketing, Dan has toured and recorded extensively, with 1500+ shows and 8 records to his name, having supported acts such as Xavier Rudd, The Cat Empire, San Cisco and many more in his time. Dan currently performs with Margaret River-based acts Brightsider and Moon & Honey, and you can catch him performing solo around the South West Region.

Applying his managerial and organisational talents outside of his musical projects has seen Dan direct The West Australian Guitar Festival and share his experience as part of panels and presentations for industry bodies such as APRA/AMCOS, WAM, Operation Next Gen and more.

Beyond music, Dan enjoys graphic & web design, is a hobby photographer after starting out on rolls of film whilst touring, and loves sports – surfing in particular, which is one of the things that drew him to Margaret River in 2014.

A music lover at heart and always up for a laugh, Dan also hosts Local Produce on Radio Margaret River every Thursday 4-5pm.
