What other artists are saying

J. Cubbin

I sent my song to Dan for his trademark feedback. In seconds he had the vibe of the song down. Worked out the chord progression and was totally in tune with the specific production elements, offering some great constructive feedback that I myself fully agreed with. Such a natural feel for the energy of a song. He knew the best production elements and how to bring out the magic. The man's a true gem.

Jérémy Davis
I absolutely enjoyed watching your impressive listening process, as well as your insightful comments and precious suggestions, which I will take onboard for future songs. While you did seem to enjoy aspects of the song, I could feel that these mixing issues prevented you from fully getting into it, and the fact that you were able to point out exactly why (as opposed to more casual listeners) is invaluable!  
Brodie Parker

I’m still learning the ropes with production and using a super basic setup, but he took the time to really listen and gave feedback that was honest, thoughtful, and actually helpful. He didn’t just hype it up; he pointed out what worked, what could be improved, and made it feel like I wasn’t crazy for trying to make music this way. You can tell he actually cares and that made a huge difference for me. Super grateful for the support.

Speed McCoy

Dan does an excellent job of breaking down and analyzing the music presented to him. The passion he has for music in general is completely infectious. I get the sense that genre doesn’t really matter to him, he just wants to absorb music directly into his soul!

Michael Sandilla

Dan was quick to respond and clearly took the time to really listen to my song. He picked up on the intricacies and gave thoughtful, solid advice I plan to use when I record the full arrangement. I’ll definitely be sending him more originals in the future.

Murray Rose

Dan's feedback video reviewing my song was incredibly fun and surprisingly motivating; it's really propelled me toward a musical goal. If you've seen Dan react to good music, you know he brings an unabashed enthusiasm, excellent musicianship, a good ear and, above all, great taste! I know this because, after all, he did like my song.
