Dann learnt his trade alongside one of the most successful Record Producers of recent times, Steve Mac. Starting as tea boy, the team have enjoyed enormous success in the pop genre including something like 33 number 1's including 3 US chart toppers.
Dann's writing and production expertise extends from classical crossover to contemporary pop and onto Rock (his preferred genre) and he uses his talent for memorable hooks and chart focussed sound appealing to the masses and extending the barriers of rock itself.
His writing is developing with co writing projects with some extremely established major writers.
Dann is available for Production writing and mix duties on various projects that will benefit from his 9 years of hits.
His latest success emerges with the remergence of ASIA. Their first album for 25 years (Phoenix) contains Dann's song "Orchard Of Mines". Not only is it satisfying to have someone cover a song, but to be the ONLY song to appear on an ASIA album not written by the band. Released on EMI AMERICA and being highlighted in reviews, this could be the beginning on a truly "classic song"
