About Dan Black:

Hailing from Great Britain, but currently residing in Paris, France, Dan Black came upon the music scene as the vocalist for alt-rockers the Servant.  The dance-pop purveyor caught the ears of dance fans with his pop/rock/hip-hop stylings with the songs “Yours,” “HYPNTZ”—his mashup of lyrics from the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize” with samples from Rihanna’s “Umbrella”—and ((un))’s breakthrough first single “Symphonies” featuring Kid Cudi which garnered him critical praise in the press, with the New York Post stating, “[Dan Black] will give you that fizzle and sizzle your ears are yearning for."  This summer Dan Black trekked across America with Robyn and Kelis on the All Hearts tour and appeared at Lollapalooza.  VH1’s coverage of the festival featured Black and can be viewed at: http://www.vh1.com/video/misc/551661/vh1-news-performing-offers-major-perks-at-lollapalooza-music-festival.jhtml#id=1645481
