Singer/Songwriter Dan Medeiros brings a special kind of control and precision to vocals that range from soft & haunting to gritty & powerful. Combined with his unique use of 12-String Acoustic Guitars, Dan is able to fill any sized room, venue or stage with either his Original Alt-Rock music or “Retro Radio Mixtape” set of 80’s/90’s hits. Either way, his music will captivate and excite music lovers young & old.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Toronto Canada, Dan grew up in a music household and an extended family of musicians. It was of no surprise to family & friends that by the time Dan reached the age of 9, he was quickly admitted into the Ontario Conservatory of Music by his parents and went on to win various awards and scholarships during his time there. Dan would eventually go on to form different bands over the following years with each of them achieving varying forms of success, most notably “Waiting For Grace” and their hit debut album from 2008 “The Verga Effect”.
In March 2012 Dan packed up his car and moved across the border to Des Moines, Iowa where he really began to find his place in the local music scene as a solo artist and eventually releasing his official debut solo album 2015 “Forever & After”. Over the next 7+ years Dan has gone on to perform 100+ shows a year across the Midwest United States from Restaurants/Breweries to Big Stage Festivals.
May 1st 2022 Dan headed back into the Studio to work with Producer/Engineer Misha Olson @ SPEED OF SOUND in Des Moines, Iowa to start production on his long-awaited follow-up music. On Tuesday March 10th 2024, Dan released his debut single & music video “DREAMS” to a world-wide audience via digital distribution through CD Baby.
