Artists

Dan Sindel is not just a musician; he’s a force of resilience and reinvention. With roots embedded in the legendary early ’80s LA metal scene, Sindel carved out his path performing alongside rock and metal royalty such as ACCEPT, SAXON, KING DIAMOND, WENDY O. WILLIAMS, RACER X, ARMORED SAINT, FLOTSAM & JETSAM, HELMET, and METAL CHURCH., and many more.

Now working as a solo artist, self-producer, and animator, Dan’s music is a bold, cinematic blend of classic hard rock, swing, surf-punk, blues, progressive metal, and modern alt-rock, creating a sound that is unmistakably his own. Every song is layered, meticulously crafted, and infused with raw energy. His 2023 debut EP, UNPOPULAR MUSIC FOR POPULAR PEOPLE VOL. 1, marked his return to recording and set the tone for a new era of creative freedom. In 2025, Dan followed it with the high-octane 6-song concept EP, THEY ONLY LOVE YOU WHEN YOU’RE WINNING, co-produced with the legendary Danny Saber (U2, David Bowie, Ozzy Osbourne, Michael Hutchence).

Dan’s been featured in Guitar Player and Electronic Musician magazines, and he’s a proud ASCAP member. He also loves giving back, as a music educator, he currently teaches beginning guitar at both Pierce and Valley Colleges in the San Fernando Valley, and genuinely enjoys helping the next generation of musicians. On top of that, Dan holds several endorsements with top musical equipment companies that regularly attend NAMM.

I really love the pickups Jeff dropped into my custom painted (Ibanez) Monster guitar! They have a very distinct quality where under serious high gain conditions the notes are clear, punchy & articulate! I have the Witcher in the bridge position and a custom wound single coil in the middle position. I recommend giving Donovan Pickups a shot, it’s a competitive field with pickup companies but Jeff will deliver what you are asking for!" - Dan Sindel
