• You have my permission to use the music for free according the license. There are printable and download-able release forms on that page as well if you need one.

• The music is free and legal because I want the songs to be shared and the site is supported by my tip jar and advertising.

• Your encouragement and donations help me to spend more and more time every week creating new free music. Please subscribe or check back for new MP3s that I am producing for you.

• If you need a certain style of music please let me know and I can put it on my list to compose. The entire instrumental section of the library started with a request from a visitor.

• My inspiration for the concept and design of DanoSongs.com comes from Sri Chinmoy's Free Radio and Kevin MacLeod's Incompetech.com.

Please use this summary if you need some info to include with the site link:

Dan-O is the Webmaster of DanoSongs.com, a royalty free production music library where people can use his music for free under the creative commons music license. The only thing you need to do when using Dan’s music is to link back to or credit his Website. His songs are available to be used in YouTube videos, films, slideshows, games, podcasts and any other projects that need original instrumental or vocal tracks.

About Me

• I went to the Hartt School of Music for Music Business and the Hartford Conservatory of Music for Jazz Guitar and Vocals.

• You could call me a new hippie and Taoist. I think the most accurate living spiritual teacher is Eckhart Tolle.

• My primary instrument is guitar and I teach privately. I also sing and write songs that you can hear on this site.

• Authors that have influenced me lately are Malcolm Gladwell, Seth Godin, Mark Joyner and Michael Port. I think that Wired is the only magazine worth reading.

• After teaching songwriting for years I put all my notes together and wrote the SongMix Method.

• Lately I call myself a "Music Producer" since I mostly find, arrange and mix royalty free tracks. I still record actual songs sometimes.

• My work ethic is inspired by Trump, Gene Simmons and Derek Sivers (founder of CDBaby). I highly recommend their business books and blogs.

• I have 4 kids and I live near New York City with my girlfriend Michelle. I have been a full-time Website Designer for 15 years.
