What Artists Are Saying...
Graham The Empire
Artist / Producer
Dan has such a vast amount of knowledge on Ableton Live and is able to produce amazing music in a quick, intuitive, and thoughtful way. There isn't anything I've thrown at him that he hasn't been able to guide me on, even showing me things that I did not know were possible.
Phillip Austrom
Touring Musician / Producer
I can't recommend Dan enough, he is an excellent Ableton instructor. In a short amount of time, he helped me gain a stronger grasp of Ableton's inner workings, refine my sound design and develop a more efficient workflow!
Crog
Producer
I've been working with Dan for over 2 years now. He continues to blow my mind in helping me refine my mixing and production process, unlocking new creative potential in my tracks.
Beats by Tyler
Producer
I was more than blown away with everything I learned... I had no musical background prior. I feel like I got a foundation to start my music production career...I can hit up producers with any questions I have and always get an answer or suggestion to help me out.
