Dan was born 1965 in Switzerland. He began learning to play the guitar at the age of 12, on a nylon stringed classical guitar.
Throughout his teenage years, Dan performed in several bands and projects. He started with more Jazz-Rock and Funk oriented bands. Years later, his style turned to Hard Rock, and today Dan plays his typical "Exotic Metal" style, Eastern & Asian melodies mixed with neo-classical elements.
Dan is influenced by Marty Friedman, Jason Becker and Steve Vai. He often plays in the Asian vein of Marty Friedman, combined with a technique in the style of Jason Becker. His catchy melodies, often built with wide slides in the way like Steve Vai does, are another typical elements of Dan's melodic playing.
In addition, Dan also studied the style of George Lynch, another important influence for him. Especially Dan's intense vibrato is a result of that "Lynch-time".
Yet in spite of his many influences, Dan remains unique, applying different elements from various musicians and sources, all of which enrich his music.
Dan became "Artist of the Month" at Guitar9.com in 2001, with the single pre-release for this album.
For the Jason Becker Tribute Album, released by Lion Music in 2002, Dan performed the song "Dweller in the Cellar" of Jason Becker.
In 2004, Dan released the Instrumental Solo album "Electric Storm", a part of his project "Sultan Of String". Find more information at sultanofstring.com
From 2004-2006, Dan attended a Jazz school, mainly to fill in some gaps in his music theory knowledge. He also started taking online guitar lessons and receiving music career mentoring from Tom Hess.

Want To Become An Amazing Guitarist?
Dan honed his guitar skills by taking lessons with Tom Hess.
Taking lessons with a guitar teacher is one of the most powerful things you can do to improve your guitar playing very quickly.
Why?
A teacher helps you understand how to correctly fix your mistakes (often in ways you didn't even think of).
On top of that, they provide coaching, motivation and training that makes taking lessons much more effective than trying to piece everything together on your own.
The sooner you get started taking lessons, the sooner you reach your musical goals and start playing guitar in the way you always wanted to.
Sounds good, right?
