About Me
- Skill Level:
- Semi-Pro
- Instruments:
- acoustic guitar, voice
I've been playing guitar for about 12 years. While I dabbled in electric guitar when I first started out, I now play pretty much only acoustic. I am also a songwriter and singer. I compose, record, produce, and perform with my good friend Peter Yoon (check him out on the site) and have been doing so since we met in high school. We play a mix of acoustic and electronic music and we like to work with people who are musically diverse. Even though he just lives a few miles up town we've been using indaba to manage our recording projects so that we can keep working on songs even when our schedules don't coincide.

"I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly, music, for in the patterns of music and all arts are the keys of learning."

These are the muddy waters I'm swimming in to make a living
That I should drown in them should come as no surprise."

I'd like to find people to collaborate with on Indaba. My friend Pete and I have been writing a lot of music and programming drum parts, so we are particularly interested in finding great drummers (R&B and Hip/Hop drummers in particular) who can play (and elaborate on) the beats we've been writing.

Hi Dan Thanks for the reply and I'll be sure to hit you up if I need help with anything.......which will probabaly be soon(haha) Talk to you soon Dan, much appreciation for stopping by. Aaron
Hi Dan, I am proudly wearing my Indaba shirt at school, very cool indeed - thank you so much! When can we meet up in NYC or DC? Cheers, jc
Hey Dan. Really enjoying the music, community and features. Look forward to exploring the site. Thank you again for the conversation the other day. Take care!
Thanks for informing me about Annie. I had a couple exchanges with her and found her to be inspiring. It's nice to have her site as a remembrance. Thanks...
Thanks for the kind words Dan. I'm loving this community. What a great idea for a website. Those tunes are from two different courses I took while studying abroad in Australia. Yesterday is from a Contemporary Style Analysis class, and Untitled was my final track for a Reason Lab. Looking forward to meeting you in person.
Yeah I'm from Guilford (but graduating this year and hoping to relocate to some place more interesting). You have created a great site here. It looks REALLY nice. The interface and profiles are well designed and I can see this as a great tool for meeting people and getting projects organized. I just discovered it today but cant wait to delve further into it.
Hey did you go to Guilford High School in CT? I heard that one of the founders did...
Hey Dan... Hows it been?! I haven't seen in a while, but Uncle Mike told me you had a website so I wanted to check it out for myself. Congrats!!!!!!!
Daniel- when is Tom's wedding? I'm headed down to ct this weekend, wondering if you were around. oh and by the way, you owe me some free Indaba stuff, like a shirt or a hat would be sufficient. later, borgy
