Dan Donovan (3)

Singer - Songwriter - Producer - Musician. He began writing songs as soon as he could play a few chords on the guitar, recording on a Sony 2 track reel-to-reel, before progressing to a TEAC 4 track. In 1995, when recording equipment became more accessible, he established his first studio; The Hide-Out Studio. The studio became popular with Drum and Bass artists signed to Moving Shadow and Hip Hop artists recording for Cup Of Tea Records. Inspired by the soul and jazzy elements of the Drum and Bass and Hip Hop break beats, he began to experiment with electronic music. His first contribution to a release was writing the lyrics for the title track of Moments Of Pleasure. This was followed by a compilation album of artists recording at his studio [m298859] and 12" Distance. In 2006 he purchased an old bank in the centre of Kėdainiai, central Lithuania and converted part of it into a recording studio. Over the next few years he wrote and produced three EPs for three different artists and released them on his independent label DDF Music. In 2009 he entered two tracks with two different artists into the Coca-Cola Soundwave competition sponsored by MTV and won 1st and 2nd place.
