Dan Fernandez got his first camera as teen and never looked back, developing a love for music that ran just as deep around the same time. Dan is still known to mess around with his bass but these days his camera and pen are his main tools. Dan Came up in the Punk Rock and Hardcore scenes of South and Central Florida in the early 2000’s. Never diverting from those early days his passion for both music and photography have only grown stronger as he honed his own personal style. Dan’s music taste is as eclectic as can be. While he anchors himself in American, his playlist on any given day would surprise the most ardent music buff. If there is one thing that he loves more than live music, it’s traveling to some of the amazing venues this country has to offer to experience it.
