For the past 13 years Dan has been an accomplished session musician performing and recording across many different genres; he has also performed and reconceptualised musical arrangement on a number of albums, that have reached chart success both in the UK and overseas. Dan’s unique talent for musical production and arrangement has led him to embark on this new venture - Music Moves. 

 

Music Moves is designed to positively impact the emotional well-being of young vulnerable people: it plans to help and support young people facing or experiencing bullying, emotional problems and/or mental health issues. 

 

The programme has been set-up to supplement the work of schools, healthcare workers and the local police, where they believe young people would benefit from a programme that brings them together through the medium of music. An outlet where the children can experience within the creative process of recording, producing, arranging and performing, a release from their environmental and emotional confines, to give the students the confidence, they may desperately need. 

 

Music Moves has not been setup solely for the purposes of teaching young people to appreciate and participate in music; more importantly, it has been set-up to help them interact and communicate in new and creative ways. The programme’s goals are to instill a sense of confidence in the young people to encourage them to engage with new friends of all ages, in doing so, Music Moves hopes to tackle the important issues that affect the mental and emotional well-being of vulnerable people.
