That is Dan Cooney. Yeah, you're gonna hear a little bit more about his life, his musical aspirations, his career so far, which also includes acting. Wow, you're gonna be impressed. And that voice and that style, Dan Cooney. Remember that name. The song is called Let Go, but he has many songs. Look him up on YouTube, Google him, go to his website, listen to his new EP, and that is something that we discuss. I hope you enjoy our conversation. I'm gonna let him do the talking. Just you like music, put your headphones on, turn up the volume in the car, wherever you might be listening to this and enjoy. And just so you know, my name is Shane A. Bassett, your host, and thank you for joining me on another edition of Cine Critique Music edition. However, as I said, an aspiring actor, and we talk all about him wanting to do some acting. And I think Dan could pretty much do anything with the talent he has to burn. I mean, I was introduced to your music from a friend, and um I'm like really stoked that I found you. Uh was it always something that you were going to do when you were young? Uh why? Why the music? Did you just find out that you were musically talented?
SPEAKER_00Um, I think like a while ago, like when I was younger, um, it was always something in the back of my mind. Um, you know, I always found it fascinating. Um, and then as I got a little bit older, uh, you know, more in like middle school years, my friends uh started playing instruments. And um from there, like I wanted to, you know, I wanted to play instruments with them, you know, and and you know, playing bands. Um, I thought that was really cool. Um, so you know, from from that point and then going into high school, I was in a couple basement bands, you know, just hanging out, making songs. Um, but yeah, it was always in the back of my mind. And I think as I got older and uh surrounded myself with like-minded friends, it um I began to take it a little more serious.
SPEAKER_04What about New York? That's where you're based. Is that where you were brought up and uh born, or did you go there after you got older?
SPEAKER_00Uh no, I've al I've always been uh New York based, uh specifically Long Island. Um so yeah. Great spot.
SPEAKER_04I mean Long Island.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, no, absolutely. I I love uh I love being here. Um and especially, you know, not too far away from the the city. So it's nice to make trips out there too. I I know um like my friend Preston, who's directing some of my videos, you know, we we go there sometimes when he's in town and you know, we do photo shoots, get cool videos, and things like that. So yeah, I always I always love being there.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I'll I'll ask you about your your music videos shortly because I've watched them and there's an art to them. But before I get there, uh how is the music scene? The especially the live music scene, how do you find that in New York? I know in Sydney we still have uh places where live bands can play, but there just seems to be less opportunities.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, um, so I'll say this about uh the Long Island music scene, right? I mean, in more recent years, there's been sort of a resurgence or a coming of a lot of young local bands and musicians because you have these different DIY venues, and it's really cool to see um because before that um the the stigma around Long Island and the Long Island music scene was oh, you have to be in a cover band to make money. Yeah. So like a lot of the bands specifically on Long Island and live music were um cover bands until more recent years, where they've uh like I mentioned, there's a lot of local acts that are starting to uh emerge, and it's really cool to see that. Um I know a couple of my friends, uh my friend Aiden, and he's in he's in a band called Screen Room, and uh he records in Staten Island and you know he performs in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Um, and I got to go to uh a couple shows out there, and and uh it's very lively, you know. I had a great time there, and um yeah, I think I think uh it's it's good, a good community.
SPEAKER_04So do you um like festivals or do you would you prefer performing you know in the you know solo in a in a uh big room full of people just to see you, or do you like festivals where you're mixing it up with other bands?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I um I love both naturally. Um as as a musician and a fan. Fair enough, yeah. Yeah, I haven't done like an actual like festival as a as a musician. I've I've done, you know, like there's opening acts and and you know, like smaller venues naturally, but um I loved I was actually talking about this the other day. I went to uh in 2021, I went to uh Rolling Loud Music Festival. And like I still talk about it five years later because it was such an awesome weekend, you know, seeing all these different artists and um vendors and they had the skate ramp. Uh it was a really cool experience. So I love I loved it as a fan. I would love to maybe in the future be on um a festival lineup, that would be pretty, pretty cool. Um, but yeah, I I love both a lot.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, good to hear because uh festivals seem to be making not a comeback, but they're getting more popular again. They sort of well phased out a little bit like live music in general. It seems to come in waves, I find popularity.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and I think I love that you said comes in waves because to kind of um go back a little bit what we were saying about the Long Island music scene. Um I think that kind of comes in waves too. Like right now we're seeing a lot of uh you know, bands, full bands, live music. Um, you know, before that, like I said, cover bands, but there was also a lot of uh track artists like backing tracks and things like that. Um so that's another thing that um is kind of a cycle.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it would be, I guess. And you're all over it, but how do you promote yourself? I mean, obviously social media, but how do you how do you market yourself? Did you do you do it yourself? Do you have someone that helps you?
SPEAKER_00Um it's it's just me. Um, but I do, you know, I will give credit where it's due. Like I've like I went to school for uh music business, uh business management concentrated in music and entertainment industry. Yeah, and I had a lot of great professors uh who are very knowledgeable and and I've you know borrowed some things from what they've told me, and then um there's a really cool uh Cyper Stimmo who just drops free knowledge. Um so like I like to you know tune in with them, take notes where I can. Um but I think ultimately at the end of the day, just being a relatable person, I think goes a long way. And I'm still a really big believer in um direct-to-fan things, right? So like flyers, just just hanging up flyers, I think is. Yeah, because you I think you would be shocked. It does go a long way when you go to you know different um malls or or stores and and really kind of just connecting with people, saying, let's say there's a show that weekend, um just handing them a flyer and be like, oh, if you want to come out, uh it's gonna be a good show. You know, things like that I think still go a long way because you can only do so much, like, yes, the internet is super powerful, but I think people also want to see like the person behind Wi-Fi, you know, like having that connection in real life, I think goes a long way.
SPEAKER_04It's funny you say flyers. I think that's a great idea because that's sort of physical media in a way, and even posters and things that you watch movies and there's still posters like lined up along walls when people are walking past and that. So I think flyers is a great idea, and people would keep them as memorabilia, especially if they love the show.
SPEAKER_00Right, absolutely. I remember uh uh last year when I was performing in Brooklyn, um my friend made three like the same flyer, but three different colorways. And I remember I'm like, oh, this could be cool to like, yeah, you know, as a buy-in to sort of like if people buy a ticket, they get a print of one of the three different posters, three different color posters. And um and yeah, I I was a fan of like they came out incredible, what my friend did. So I was like, Oh, yeah, I kind of I don't want this to just come and go. I want to, I I want one, you know, I want to keep one.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that's that's the thing, Dan. Make sure you keep those things because they'll you know, and put them away somewhere and then you'll forget about them and then see them, you know, two or three years later and give your memories. So make sure you you keep everything like that. I'm sure you do though.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'm very, very nostalgic. This this year is um five years since I put out my debut EP.
SPEAKER_04Wow.
SPEAKER_00So like I've I've been looking back on all the old videos and and shoots, and I'm just like, wow, like I'm getting super like sentimental about it.
SPEAKER_04So well, yeah. Speaking of your videos, I I had a look at them and I didn't realize your first one was five years ago. I was sort of going back to various stages. But your music, it's not you know, it's it's similar in many ways. You have a style. Uh how is that the style that you enjoy as well, obviously, or have you thought about changing it up at all or branching out into different kinds of songs and song lyrics?
SPEAKER_00Um, yes, uh it it has, I feel it has changed a bit over time. And um, you know, earlier on I was blending a lot of genres um because I would listen to just so many different styles of music. Uh so particularly I would blend uh you know alternative rock with hip-hop sounds, and um, I think that was cool early on. And then as I got a little bit older, I uh and and started collaborating with more people and and and working with different musicians. I tend to lean more toward the indie rock pocket I'm in now with the latest VP, Love Me for Who I Could Be.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And uh that's what I'm enjoying right now. Um, you know, that's what I want to make currently. And you know, five years ago it was something different, but I think that's that's the goal at the end of the day is to progress and and you know, you're supposed to kind of change over time.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um, but again, I still go back every now and then and listen to uh you know those different genres of music. I don't think that'll ever go away. Um, just depends what mood I'm in.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, exactly. Or well, yeah, I didn't want to sort of make it sound like uh I thought you sounded the same. You have changed it up a bit, but it's still that strong voice and those strong lyrics that have remained the same. Um, I think anyway.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I um I think that's something that'll always uh stick with me. You know, I'm very uh emotion-driven. Um and and I love like I listened to and I still do listen to, but like I I used to really uh be into the band uh The Stone Roses, and they kind of Ian Brown has that like whispery vocal. Yeah, and um when I was first uh writing my own original music, like I kind of um when I would demo it, I would try to um what's the word I'm looking for? Like imitate, I guess, kind of like imitate that or or recreate that kind of vocal style. Um so but yeah, I think I think uh those qualities, you know, like I think honesty in music is so important, making honest records and uh you know being vulnerable in your music, I I think is is really cool. So that's something that'll always be a part of uh my music.
SPEAKER_04And on stage too, and you've got that vulnerability, but you're also confident, and people will see that in the audience and react accordingly, you know, to to your songs. And I'm sure you get that all the time. People just staring and listening, it's like to a story, basically.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, uh, it's it's really cool, especially afterward, you know, when when the show is over, like hearing kind words about the music and the performance, because um you're not really thinking that when you're up there. At least for me, I'm kind of like, all right, like let's let's get through this set. Um yeah, but then like hearing it afterward, I'm like, all right, maybe I didn't do too bad, you know. Maybe I maybe this was good, and then like it resonated with a few people. So it's always it's always nice hearing that, you know, reassurance is is a good thing.
SPEAKER_04Maybe you need one or two of your songs to be in a rom com or a chick flick, you know, right at the right when someone's gonna cry or hug someone, that'd be great.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, well, that that's really cool. Um, because I'm actually I'm working. Um, I I started acting uh earlier this year, so I I've been working on a short film. Uh it's still in early development, but I I figured uh it would be a good way to kind of segue into doing more things like that. So I'm gonna use the title track from the latest VP, uh, it's called Who I Could Be. And I'm gonna I'm gonna use that, uh, kind of center that around the short film. Um, so yeah, I love that you I love that you said that.
SPEAKER_04No, I can see it working on a soundtrack, and that's really good to know that you're you know diving into some acting. Um good. It starts at a short and then make sure that you obviously you never know you could write the music first and then turn it into a like a concept album and a and a movie down the track, a screenplay. Uh it sounds like you've got the ball rolling in your acting, your early acting life anyway, so far.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'm yeah, I'm really enjoying it right now. Um I think toward the end of last year, I wanted to start trying new things while I'm still in my early 20s. Um, especially this kind of being the benchmark of you know, like halfway point of the 2020s. Um and I just wanted to try, you know, try some new things. And I thought acting, you know, it's always been in the back of my mind, another thing that's in the back of my mind. But uh, you know, like I I always thought I would be decent at it, and and um friends and family alike around me have uh said the same thing. So I'm like, all right, let me give it a try, you know. And if I don't like it, I'll I'll drop the class. But I'm so glad I, you know, I made the decision and and started taking those classes. Um I've met some really incredible people, found some great mentors, um, which is important to me having good mentors. Um yeah, it's it's been a great experience, and I'm excited to just keep keep going at it.
SPEAKER_04I'm stoked to hear that, Dan, because you can network, you can meet people from the acting and movie and theater side of things, and then you've got the music community as well, and they can combine and you never know, the sky's the limit for you.
SPEAKER_00Thank you. Yeah, absolutely. I think um it's been really cool meeting in uh in the music scene, like you know, a lot of musicians, but like you mentioned, also a lot of videographers and and uh artists, like painters, and all different kinds of art mediums. Uh so like but the worlds really do collide, and uh yeah, it's been it's been cool getting to know a lot of different people.
SPEAKER_04What's your process for writing a song? Do you uh just take notes or do you just sit down and think of something, or how how how do you work when it comes to writing a song?
SPEAKER_00Uh yeah, so I think I think it's it's different depending what like there's a lot of different ways. Like generally speaking, I always try to come up with a good chorus first. Um a good hook. Um, but like like writing certain things down, like it's funny. I uh I have a song called Next Spring, yeah, and uh that song kind of came about. Like I would think of one-liners, like I would be in the gym, and you know, like I'm thinking something to myself, and I'm like, wait, that sounds pretty cool. So then I'll write it down in my notes app, and then uh I had a couple different lines like that in my notes app, and then it uh eventually all came together to be one record, which is next spring. But um, yeah, like so there's ultimately I try to write a chorus, but then there's times where like I'll do that. Um, and melodies too are super important to me. I try to come up with a good melody. Um, and lyrics can be second, but there's a bunch of different like methods to it.
SPEAKER_04You mentioned the Stone Roses before, uh great choice, by the way. Great good band. Thank you. Any other, you know, I'm sure you got hundreds of them, but any other in you know, influences or bands or singers or performers that have sort of you've watched as a kid growing up or enjoy now?
SPEAKER_00So many, yeah. Uh Stone Roses being one of them. Uh, but like in high school, like I had a really big Oasis face. Um it's funny, like a lot of my junior year of high school, like a lot of like my online friends were Oasis fan pages.
SPEAKER_04Massive fans still going strong, you know, they never get old Oasis.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and I um I was at the reunion show, like they did the big one in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium. So I got to go to that, and that was a really cool, really cool night. Um, yeah. And it's just felt cool, you know, seeing them back and uh looking back. Like I listened to them, you know, when I was younger, and it was cool for me, you know, it was a really good moment for me. And I went with my friend. Um, but yeah, Stone Roses, Oasis. Uh I like a lot of Midwest emo bands too. Um you know, I uh hip hop, I love Drake. Um yeah, I I do. I and just seeing like what he he's done too, as far as being like that artist and actor and all the like different pockets he's been in.
SPEAKER_04Um that's that's it, mate. Um, Drake is a good example because yeah, uh a star in his own right, but you wouldn't think of him as an actor in a way, and then he's done some good stuff, so that's that's a really really good choice. And then I mean at the other end of the scale, Oasis. I mean, look at those guys, they just go through life and and just can continue to impress everyone. Such such a great band. And I mean, uh, I think you're on the way to maybe opening for an act like that. How would you feel about opening for Oasis or you know, a huge band? Is that something that's on on your mind? Or you just let if it happens, you'll let it happen and roll through.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I think it would be cool. You know, I would love to open for them one day. I think that would be that would be sweet. Um, but you know, I also, you know, like for me, like if it comes to it, it comes to it. You know, I kind of yeah, um, you know, I take things like one step at a time, you know. I try, I try to look at like the term making it as like super subjective, like and just kind of appreciating where I'm at currently. Um, but yeah, like actually I would I would love to eventually down the line, like if that's something that's ever in the cards, like I would, you know, I would take that right away.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. I mean, how does that come about? Does like do you have to sell yourself to the band's agents when you know that there's a tour coming, or do you get a heads up early? Is there a process to to that or you just have to get head kicked?
SPEAKER_00I feel like it's I feel it would be different depending on the booker or the talent buyer. Like there's like there's a bunch of different ways. Um I know like for me, like and like the local people and and like the tri-state. Um I like I think for example, like the first time I had a record play on uh the radio station by me was just like me uh sending an email and I didn't think they would get back to me, but I'm like, uh all right, let's send let's send this email, see what comes from it. And uh they actually got back to me. And I remember being super excited because like I was just like doing it just to do it, like be like, all right, whatever. Um But no, they did get back to me. And uh a lot of the connections that I've um been able to make have just been you know sending a text or a message. Um I had the privilege of opening for uh Johnny Craig uh from Dance Gavin Dance uh a couple years back. Um, and that was through uh my friend Lou who was booking shows at the time. Uh he doesn't really book too many shows anymore, but um so yeah, like that's just like each I guess it depends, you know. Like sometimes like I'll you know reach out and and just hope for the best. Other times uh it'll come from bookers or companies.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, exactly. I think that uh you gotta sell yourself in that way, but sending that email to the radio station, that's a you know, that's great. You probably never thought you'd hear from them, like you said, but look at that. You've got your song played on there, and I think radio is probably not as popular as it was back in the day. Uh, but it still is, it's still strong. People still listen to the radio, and I think it's a big deal for music, you know, musicians particularly.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I think I I enjoy radio sometimes. To me, like radio and and TV, um, sometimes you don't know what you want to watch, like on demand. You kind of just like flip through and you hope like something cool comes on, you know. Like there's times where it's like I like to listen to music to get things done. Yeah. Um, and then there's times I'm like, well, I don't know what I want to listen to right now, you know. So like I still think you know, Pandora's cool, iHeart is cool, radio station, like I still I they'll be around forever. People are always like, oh, they're gonna go away, TV's gonna go away. I don't think it'll ever go away.
SPEAKER_04No, I agree. I mean, um most of my work is in radio, and you know, I I can see how popular it is. It changes, like people come and go, and and sort of the format changes, but radio and music and even talkback and so forth, it's all still there. So people have that interest, and I think it's a powerful tool for any artist.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_04And music videos, when you've done those, do you map it out what you want to do, or do you just get the camera with some friends and roll with it? Uh like how do how do they work? Or is it like a little mini movie for you? You plan it out and just go scene by scene.
SPEAKER_00Uh so earlier on, like the videos from five years ago, six years ago, um, those were kind of just like I was very inspired. Uh there's an artist named Gabe who spelled he spells it Gab3. Um he he would do music videos for uh ASAP Yams, Wiz Khalifa, a lot of a lot of hip hop artists, and his he was like, you know, he didn't really care about like the high quality, it was just super VHS and okay, looks like you can do it from your phone. And that like to me at the time, all I really had was like my phone and uh a GoPro camera. So to me, that was like the coolest thing in the world. Like, oh, this guy made videos um that look like straight from a home video. Like, I would love to do that for now. So like that's how I did it earlier on. Um when I started working, I mentioned my director friend Preston, uh Preston Schnorr. And yeah, yeah, he um when I were I started working with him, he kind of started doing the whole like okay, we're gonna do this, that, and the third, and we're gonna we're gonna make it look like this, we're gonna draw inspiration from these different things, and that's like um it was an adjustment at first because it wasn't what I was used to. Um, but now I think it was really cool and it came out great. And especially like I mentioned now, I'm in acting school, so like I appreciate that process a lot more, and I think that's what people can expect going forward.
SPEAKER_04I was gonna say you can get some of your acting friends to do a little bit of a you know, a one or two minute scene, and then before the music kicks in, you can have a full-on, like little mini mini music video, and uh an old school MTV video. That they used to do that on there.
SPEAKER_01Definitely, yeah. A lot. Uh that that is uh that is the plan for the short film.
SPEAKER_04So we'll see how keep keep me in the loop because I'm keen to see it. Uh I loved it, I love your work already, but I'm keen to see the extension of that. Uh yeah, you'd be good. Absolutely, yeah. Thank you. Um before we wrap it up, um, you know, but just say anything and tell me anything else if I've missed anything. But what what else do you do, mate? Uh outside of music and acting? Uh you know, do you like sport? Do you write, you know, maybe write something other than you know, uh songs, or do you go out and take photos? Like, do you have any other interests or just hang out with friends?
SPEAKER_00Uh well, I love hanging out with friends. But um, you know, I also love uh sports. I love basketball. Oh yeah. Um that's my that's my favorite sport. Um, you know, I d I dabble in some hockey, football, American football.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um and then I also like pro wrestling a lot too. You know, I loved it growing up and then seeing like all the different indie companies kind of do their thing. Yeah, uh, as I got older, I I appreciated the smaller uh indie companies a lot. So I do I do uh enjoy that. I love uh hanging out with my friends, I have some really good friends around me. Um good, you know, my brother, like I hang out with him, good family members around me too. So it's it's fun.
SPEAKER_04Well, I know when I was growing up that art and sport didn't always mix. I mean, it does because I surfed and played hoodie, like uh rugby league, and uh then did my you know my writing and and other stuff as well. So that I combined it, but it doesn't always work. So you're a bit like me, you can combine both sport, friends, your art and music and everything. So yeah, it's good because it doesn't always work out that way. They're usually set, well, not always, but they're segregated at times, don't mix.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and I think that that was a goal for me when I first started. Um, I wanted everything to feel like one big crossover episode. You know what I mean? Like, you know, like when you have like one group of friends and then like you're hanging out, and then there's like your other group of friends joins you, and it's like a like like you're just you're mind blown because it's like the two different friend groups, and they're all together. Like, I wanted it to be kind of like that, you know, like there's from the music aspect of it, like there's something for everyone, you know, which is like what I did earlier. Like, I tried blending the genres and everything. Um, but there's also like cool pages too, like there's a page on or a platform rather, on like socials and and um they have a podcast that are called Indie Basketball, and they take like music from indie rock uh artists and bands, and they kind of combine it with basketball. And I thought that was super different um when I first like found them and in different in a in a really cool way. Um I reckon that's a great idea. How good? Yeah, um, so yeah, that there is there are ways to kind of combine those different mediums, and uh I think it it benefits everyone.
SPEAKER_04Well, uh all I can say is I hope you get to Australia sometime. Have you been down under before, or what do you know about Australia and Australian music in general, maybe? Right.
SPEAKER_00Um I believe I wanna say, and you can correct me if I'm wrong. There's a I wanna say they're from Australia. There there's a band called DMAs. Uh yes, yes, yeah. I really love the DMAs. Um I like I like their music a lot. And they did a good cover of uh share. Oh, that's them.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, no, I know who they are. Yeah, very emerging. They're emerging, but they're they got their cult following, kind of, I guess you could call it.
SPEAKER_00Another thing I kind of discovered recently about Australia, and I might be putting myself on the spot, maybe I should have known this like a couple years ago or longer, but I didn't realize like autumn for you guys started like in February, is that right? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so summer is December, January, February, and then autumn starts in March.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I couldn't believe like when I found that out, I was like, what? Like it's all like backwards.
SPEAKER_04By what sort of style and mood and who you are in in your music world, why should they listen?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I think um I like I mentioned earlier, like if you love honest records and uh you know acoustic vulnerability, those kinds of things, um, I would definitely recommend tuning in. Um you know, just like honest songs, love songs are like some of the subjects on the latest release. Yeah, um, so I definitely think there's a lot of people who would resonate with them. And then if not, if you're if you're into a different kind of style of music, like you can go back to the earlier catalog, find something there. Um, you know, like I said, like I wanted to make something for everybody. Um, so yeah, feel free to check everything out. Um, and hopefully they land on something that they like.
SPEAKER_04Well, one of my favorite old-time bands, uh Pearl Jam. That's my style.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I I mean, when I was like was first like drawing inspiration from different bands and musicians, I was huge into the grunge scene. Um, you know, I do I love Pearl Jam. Um, Eddie Vetter, I think, is really unique in the way he sings. And I remember the one video where he was like doing a show, he's climbing the scaffold and he had like the microphone. Like, I thought that was like I would personally like never do that. I would be too afraid to do that, but but he made it look cool.
SPEAKER_04So you know, what's your website, you know, YouTube channel, anywhere else, social media handle, just finish off by telling us that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, uh candunoy.com, uh Instagram at candoone, x at candunoy, um, YouTube at canduni, and then uh just all platforms. My name, Dan Cooney, uh the new EP you can find out everywhere. It's called Love Me for Who I Could Be. Um, four songs, four new songs that I think everyone will uh enjoy. So that's where you can find me.
SPEAKER_04Do you ever sing acapella on your Instagram or anything? And can you just burst into a song at any point? Is that something you do?
SPEAKER_00Um sometimes I mean sometimes I like to break out the guitar and preview a demo or a cover. Um, but maybe now I'll try doing an acapella. We'll see. We'll see if I can uh I'm good at it. We'll find out.
SPEAKER_04The new EP that Dan Cooney mentioned in our conversation, which I hope you uh really enjoyed. You got something out of it, and just put a big smile on your face because this guy is such a huge talent and he works hard, he's humble, he's got good people around him, and I think this guy's at the limit, and he is soaring already, but uh that voice and the commitment to what he does and uh wanting uh to learn more, striving to find out you know what's outside the box of the industry. I think that's rhetoric. Anyway, check out Dan Cooney and the new EP at the time of recording this Lotomy or Who I Could Be, which includes a lesson is a feeling. Until next time, I am Shane Abass at Movie underscore analyst. I hope you enjoyed the latest music edition of my podcast. What a great guy Dan is. See you next time.
