“Dan is not only a great guy, he’s helped my business navigate many contracts in the music industry over the past 7+ years. My working relationship with Dan has always assisted me to arrive at a place where I can make informed, confident and pivotal decisions for my career.
Dan has also walked in the shoes of an artist, so has a great understanding of the music industry from both perspectives and have always found him to have his clients best interests at heart.
I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!”
Dallas Frasca
Award-winning Australian Musician
“I couldn’t be more grateful for Dan’s outstanding knowledge, assistance, guidance and support in my career over the years. As a female artist in the music industry and a young adult, one of the most daunting things can be the uncertainty of who to trust and not knowing whether you and your art are protected through every opportunity you take.
I began working with Dan when I was an independent artist and knew very little about what I was getting into. Dan has not only been a great lawyer, but also a great mentor in understanding the ins and outs of the music industry.
Right through those early stages of my career till now, Dan has ingrained in me the valuable tool of realising my worth as a musician in the industry. Through his work in many corners of the industry (artists, labels and managers) I know that Dan’s advice is never biased, but it is honest, respectful, morally and legally right.
With Dan’s assistance I signed to a major label, and as my job keeps climbing up the ladder, I have full confidence knowing that whatever I do in my career, as an artist I’ll be protected, but most importantly, so will my art.”
