Managing to amass a sum of over 1.5 million streams across multiple platforms in his first year, Dan accidentally started a career as the illustrious “Cone Poem” when his tune “Evil Fucking Wizard” hit YouTube commenters unable to decipher if it was “a shitpost, a fantasy-based commentary on society, or both.”

A guitarist of over a decade, Dan finds his love of music, passion for goofing off, and inability to take himself seriously unfortunately and irreversibly intertwined, resulting in music that mixes the saucy guitar riffs and solos of the 70s and 80s with absurd lyrics about wizards punching each other and skeletons with gambling addictions.

Classically trained in music and currently pursuing a music business degree, Dan has played with various jazz ensembles during his time at college, using the priceless knowledge bestowed upon him by various professors of music to, instead of something serious, unleash what has been dubbed as “shitpost music” upon the internet, amassing a small following that demands he write more songs about wizards.

Who's involved with the music?
Me. I write, record, and mix everything myself, performing guitars, vocals, and bass, and using plugins to cover synthesizers and drums. My close friend Felix also helps a lot with writing lyrics, as well as production to some extent. His contributions tend to be smaller, but incredibly impactful!

How can I use your music?
However you want, noncommercially, for the most part. Feel free to make covers, use them in videos or streams, etc., though I do not appreciate reposts of my music/videos with nothing additional. If you're unsure, feel free to contact me.

Do you play live shows?
Not currently. Hopefully in the future.

Do you use AI?
Absolutely not. AI will never be involved in any process with my music. Please do not use my music or any aspects of it in conjunction with AI.
