Dan's journey on the guitar began at age 7. Now 23, he won 18 awards within 5 years including the A.T.A.M. New England Guitar Championship two years in a row, and the Connecticut Association of Schools Award. He also graduated from GIT at Musician's Institute in Los Angeles, CA where he also played at numerous venues including the House of Blues on Sunset Strip with his band FeelGood. 

When not in the recording studio, he can be found playing shows with longtime musical companion Mike Provenzano (Mike P.) and up and coming local Connecticut artist Brian Jarvis, who is managed by Unlimited Entertainment. He has played numerous shows this year with Brian Jarvis including the Hartford Riverfest where over 300,000 people attended the event, the Mohegan Sun Battle of the Bands, the Bushnell Theater in Hartford CT, Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey as well as Six Flags New England and The Big E.

"I've spent my whole life involved in music, so nothing comes easier to me than bringing someone into my musical world and helping them create their own. I truly believe in a creative approach to learning, because fundamentally, that's what being a musician is all about. My approach with students is is to keep them open-minded, and encourage them to find their unique voice whether or not they just picked up a guitar, or have played for years. Learning music is like learning a new language. It's gonna be rough, but there is always a way to keep it interesting for the student."
