Artist History Dan Summers is a 23 year old singer/songwriter from South London. Born into a very musical family (his dad, and both uncles were professional musicians for over 15 years), influences were not hard to find. With bands like Queen, Rainbow and Led Zeppelin on the radio at home from an early stage in his life, Dan started playing guitar aged eleven. He quickly formed a band at school, singing and playing guitar, and began playing local schools and venues. At sixteen, Dan became more involved in the Dance music side of the coin. Having lost interest in the stagnant indie/rock scene of the time, with friends at school started a pirate radio station (Deep Fm) and began learning to mix, playing at parties all over Surrey, London and the South-East. This time the music was a heady combination of Jungle/Drum and Bass and Happy Hardcore, which although not particularly creative musically, offered an element of notoriety and fun more than anything else. After spending a couple of years DJ'ing and MC'ing at various events in and around London, Dan formed "The Professionals", a progressive 4-piece rock band playing around Kingston and the surrounding area, Dan spent two years travelling around Canada and Europe. After working in various jobs, including selling Mobile phones and designing web sites, Dan decided music was what he did best and has been writing and recording tracks with a view to getting a record deal and getting his music heard, for the last ten months. Using a home studio he did a demo of "Been a long time". He took the tape down to an old school friend, who has his own label New World Recordings, and recording began on this track and others.
