Short Bio
Emerging from the intellectual and musical hotbed of Boston, Massachusetts, Dan Masterson is a Chicago-based performing songwriter who pairs honest, carefully crafted writing with dynamic, powerful vocal performances. Masterson’s alternative blend of piano-centric pop and rock shines as he takes on issues like digital dependency, romance, and economic stress, challenging the spectre of millennial escapism. His debut full-length album, When Reality Calls saw early success after its 2018 release, including a #2 debut on the Billboard Heatseekers - Northeast chart.
