How Daniel Allan’s Creative Process Led to a Viral Hit

Описание: On today’s episode, we’re joined by ‪@danielallan1943‬ —an electronic music artist, producer, content creator, and all-around great hang. His song “I Just Need” has over 24 million streams on Spotify—even though he made it in just 15 minutes. We explore what it takes to craft a hit song in today’s world, the daily grind of creating, and his inspiring journey from growing up in Kentucky as a child of immigrants to betting on himself and moving to LA with nothing but a dream and a stash of peanut butter sandwiches.
