Dan Raza is an English singer songwriter who has been captivating audiences since first bringing his own brand of roots music to the stage in late 2006.

Since that time, he has opened up for Joan Armatrading on her European tour and played throughout the UK, sharing the stage with artists such as Mary Gauthier, Badly Drawn Boy, Cara Dillon, Peter Case and The Sadies, as well as playing to large crowds at festivals like The Secret Garden Party, Summer Sundae and Leicester City of Blues. Most recently he has toured Austin, Texas with Slaid Cleaves. He has also recorded several live BBC radio sessions.

An East London resident, Dan's song, 'Every Little Dog,' charted his response to the 7th July bombings and has been heavily featured on Neil Young's 'Living With War' website.

The 'Dan Raza Sings' EP has now sold out of it's limited edition pressing, receiving glowing reviews from press and much radio airplay, including BBC stations. This can be heard and purchased at www.apple.com/itunes.

Dan is currently writing and recording for his debut album with his band.
