Had an awesome time working with Daniel! He has a real affinity for tracking rock, and has a great studio for recording all live instruments. If you're looking to get that classic, authentic, sound, Daniel's your guy! Super easy to work with, very talented, and always willing to accommodate your vision.

"Daniel is a super legit, professional, and just awesome bass player! I've hired him for live shows and plan to do studio work with him in the future as well. He is also really great on guitar and many other instruments too, and is an experienced and really talented music producer with a great home studio having all the means to make a legit record. And most importantly Daniel is a really solid, easy-going, personable, great guy, which is crucial to the proper dynamics of playing and recording/creating good music and having it be super fun, as it is supposed to be."

Really great Job by Dan! He understood exactly what I was looking to achieve, and even exceeded my expectations. Also, great communications and lightning quick on the return mixes, great job again!

"I've worked with Daniel both in a live show capacity and as a producer/engineer. He's incredibly talented, patient, always offers up great creative ideas and works hard to always make sure the final product is the absolute best it can be. I highly recommend Daniel for all your production/engineering/guitar/bass needs. He has such heart and love for music, and that really shows through in the quality of his work."

- Jaden Larue (Singer/Songwriter - Silverlake Sessions)

"Dan is one of the most positive and creative people I have worked with in my 10+ years in the industry. Anything from crafting a track with him, to improvising free ambient noise-rock or strumming two acoustics and writing a brand new hook seems to take on a sense of ease with him. It’s California vibe with New York work ethic and that’s something that is both rare and valuable in a producer today."

- Daniel Marc (Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist/Tour Manager - Melvin Seals, The Grape And The Grain)

"Dan is a fantastic producer and bassist, we've worked together on many occasions now. His ability to find the pocket of a song is uncanny and his productions are extremely tasteful."

- David Andersen (Recording Engineer - The Village Studio, Sound City Studio)

"Daniel is an incredibly talented musician and producer. I had a wonderful experience working with him. He successfully brought my idea to life, and the end result was phenomenal. Apart from being a total rockstar, he’s also a super cool guy. I would highly recommend him for all your musical needs."

- Tytan Raje (Singer/Songwriter)

"I hired Mr. Grimsland in 2015 to run the board for a recording project. It turned out that he's a talented multi-instrumentalist, an excellent producer and first-rate collaborator. He's able to move from instrument to instrument seamlessly, either taking direction or taking leadership as needed. He's both efficient and imaginative. He can blend into the background or move to the front; he can write; he can sing; he's just fantastic to work with, and I always look forward to it. In fact, I fly him from Los Angeles to NY any time I can, and we dependably make interesting, excellent music."
