I write and make music and develop art for a living. I’m very thankful for that.
I have a new book in the making; check back here or on my poorly-maintained socials for updates.
My music consists of songs I wrote for the high-energy, melodic pop-punk band known as Pain; you may have come across songs such as Futz Said Julie, Grudge, or a commercial we did for the show, Jabberjaw, over at the Cartoon Network (I’m delighted that people continue to enjoy those). After Pain and a brief-yet-lengthy pause while I studied Catholic theology and then taught it, Salvo was formed: a new kind of Pain. Recently I’ve retired from public performances, so now my songwriting goes to Dan Lord & His Goblin Orchestra. So does my composing, which includes my score for By the Downward Way, an upcoming project based on my novel. I’m a game music/audio designer, as well.
I have a Contact page, and I’m for hire, if you’re a person I like and respect, and if you have a good idea. I also welcome any correspondence from fans, who tend to be people I would happily call friends.
Cheers! -Dan
