Biography
Dan Burnett was born in 1982 in Beverley, East Yorkshire, and was spoon-fed blues, soul and rock music from an early age. His father, who was a respected guitarist in the 60’s, 70s and 80s (and was in bands with members of David Bowie’s spiders from mars, and Uriah Heep, and supported acts such as Hot Chocolate), began teaching him to make music after buying a keyboard for his 3rd birthday.

Keen to learn, Dan spent most of his time learning music from his father, and by the time he was nine years old he was playing local gigs in his Dad’s blues band, and becoming more and more familiar with the keyboards, and getting a taste for live performance.

Dan spent a lot of time over the following years listening to blues and boogie woogie piano players, and aspired to follow in the footsteps of his musical heroes such as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, and Jools Holland to name but a few. He began learning to emulate the styles and phrases of his idols, from honky tonk to boogie woogie (with a bucketful of blues thrown in for good measure!). The more he learnt and practised, the more he developed his own style of playing, as well as beginning to develop his (once shy but promising) vocal talent.
Over the last few years Dan has performed at many venues (solo as well as band gigs) across the UK, as well as performing at the California festival of beers in 2005, and various gigs overseas.

Having been involved in various musical projects, such as co-writing blues albums for Boosey Media, Dan is currently playing solo gigs throughout the uk, local gigs with his blues band, and occasional session work. He is also currently in the process of recording a solo album which is due to be finished in autumn 2007.

Although still unsigned, Dan continues to expand his contacts within the music industry, and his reputation as an excellent musician and performer is forever growing.
