My journey into the world of live music recording began organically, fueled by a deep passion for preserving the incredible talents of my three sons, who are deeply involved in jazz, classical, and orchestral music, from the Kinder High School for Performing and Visual Arts to the Manhattan School of Music. What started as a parental desire to capture their performances and gigs for family and friends quickly evolved into a dedicated pursuit of high-quality video and audio fidelity for every artist.

With multiple degrees in diverse fields and a varied career spanning healthcare, management consulting, and higher education, I bring a unique, multifaceted perspective to my work. Over the past ten years, alongside my PhD studies, I've self-taught and honed my skills in videography and audio engineering, transforming a personal passion into professional expertise.

This expertise is particularly crucial for aspiring musicians. I understand firsthand the demands of competitive environments, having crafted pristine audition and prescreen recordings for friends of my sons seeking entry into highly-selective programs, prestigious competitions, and top-tier conservatories. From setting up a dedicated home studio to capturing the nuanced energy of a live show, my goal is always to deliver a recording that truly showcases your talent.

At Dan's Live Music Recordings, I focus on capturing memories, ensuring every performance is preserved with care and clarity. Beyond live capture, I also offer comprehensive post-production editing packages, transforming your raw footage or audio into polished, professional content, even if I didn't record the original material.
