“I want to impact people. I think that if we can present new options, new journeys, new feelings and emotions with music we can make ourselves a better society and a better world”.

Philadelphia-based keyboardist and producer Dan Rouse’s music journey began in the church as a drummer. “I was getting ready to play drums that Sunday, and my mom said, ‘Hey, you have to play keys today’, and I had never even touched the keyboard. I was about 11 at the time.” From that day forward Dan was a keyboardist. He went on to perform with legendary vocalists like Patti LaBelle and Lauren Hill and served as musical director for Village People. Learn more about Dan in the video below.
