International award-winning singer-songwriter and producer Dan Olsen hails from the remote, exotic landscapes of the Faroe Islands. Now based in London, his journey from the North Atlantic to the global stage is a story of high-stakes gambles and relentless creative drive.

​

The Athlete’s Discipline

Before trading his boots for the studio, Dan was a high-level footballer, representing his club in Champions League qualification and capping his sports career with a 1-1 draw against Denmark for the Faroe Islands U21 national team. That same competitive edge now fuels his career as a multi-platinum songwriter and producer.

 

The Sydney Gamble

After completing a business degree in Australia - spending his nights performing in Sydney’s local bars - Dan took a definitive leap. He sold his only guitar to fund a move to London, arriving with nothing but a bag of demos. One of those tracks, "Here With Me," was written on a balcony in a crowded, illegal flat shared with 11 backpackers. Co-produced by Dan alongside Steven A. Williams (Eric Clapton, Sting), the song became his breakthrough, hitting the Spotify Top 50 and amassing millions of streams.

 

The Craftsman & Producer

A true polymath, Dan continues to write, produce, mix, and master the majority of his own releases, maintaining a singular, "unfiltered" creative vision. This technical precision has made him a sought-after collaborator for industry heavyweights and led to a worldwide publishing deal with Peermusic - the largest independent music publisher in the world.

His collaborative credits and production sessions include work with Grammy-award winners and the likes of:

• Linda Perry (Adele, Pink)

• Sons of Sonix (Justin Bieber)

• New Haven (Imagine Dragons)

• Tommy Harden and David Labruyere (Taylor Swift, John Mayer)

• Pam Sheyne (Christina Aguilera, Lindsay Lohan)

• Matt Lawrence (Mumford & Sons)

• Rob Davis (Kylie Minogue)

• Julian Simmons (Ed Sheeran)

• Fernando Reyes (Rolling Stones)

• Martin Sutton (Backstreet Boys)

• Chris Neil (Rod Stewart)

• Danny Schogger (Celine Dion)

• Sonique

• Braison Cyrus
   

Global Reach & Impact

Dan’s music has bridged borders, resulting in extensive tours across China, the US, Russia, Europe, and South Africa. His cinematic sound has also landed major global sync placements in film and television.

Beyond the studio, Dan serves as an ambassador for numerous charities, supporting cancer treatment, wildlife protection, and education. His commitment to global causes has seen him travel to South Africa to help build school classrooms, proving that his "adventurous spirit" extends far beyond the stage.
