The Story

Dan Radz is a singer/songwriter from Mississauga, Ontario, and has spent the majority of his life living in the Greater Toronto Area. He started playing guitar and writing his own music at age 16, inspired primarily at the time by Nirvana and the Seattle grunge sound.

At the heart of it, Dan is a storyteller who shares his songs in hopes of connecting with his audience through his words. Raw, emotional, and unfiltered, he puts everything he has into his music. He holds nothing back, in hopes of providing his listeners with the same comfort he has found over the years in the music of so many amazing musicians.

His formative musical years were spent in the Meadowvale/Streetsville scene, known for producing bands such as Billy Talent and Ill Scarlet. The scene was vibrant and alive with a variety of styles of music and was the perfect learning ground for a young musician. Dan fronted several bands during those years, most notably Blind Open Soul, Mind Riot, and Darmody.

Dan stepped away from bands several years ago to focus more steadily on his side project. A solo acoustic act he had been working on at various times over the years. His musical ambitions grew as he began the search to find a sound that was both his own and also reflected the many influences that inspired him.

Dan spent several years writing and recording songs, learning and growing as a musician and developing a style and unique voice of his own. After taking time off to go to college, Dan has once again begun writing new music. He currently has several new songs in the works and intends to return to the studio in 2024 to start work on a new album.

We Are All Fiction, a previously unreleased album, is now available on all major streaming platforms following its release on October 27th, 2023.
