Matt Dahan

Matt Dahan's music career started twenty years ago with an abandoned upright piano and a Talkboy tape recorder in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. Today, his music has been performed or synced onto nearly every medium - from scoring stages in Los Angeles to concert halls in New York City, from Top 40 radio stations in North America to hit television shows in South America. The passion to write for all kinds of musicians and formats led Matt to Berklee College of Music, where he specialized in songwriting alongside the best writers and performers in the world. His ability to write for any and every genre has amounted to nearly 400 songs to date, as well as a versatility that opened the door to television placements on high-profile networks such as MTV and PBS. Meanwhile, he had been playing his songs with various pop bands around the east coast for almost a decade, compiling accolades from Berklee to Billboard as he made the trans-continental jump from Boston to Los Angeles. In addition to songwriting, Matt began professional work as a film composer in 2010. A trio of dark-suspense thrillers paved the road to the musical comedy How Sweet It Is - starring Joe Piscopo, Paul Sorvino, Erika Christensen and Michael Paré - for which Matt contributed over an hour of music, including eleven original songs. This was quickly followed by the independent drama Lonely Boy, which was selected to world premiere at CineQuest Film Festival 2013.
