  • Comment: There already is a redirect from Daniel Tashian to The Silver Seas, which states that he is the guitarist and lead vocalist for that band, and that he is the son of Barry and Holly Tashian. There is a mention of that band in this draft that is almost hidden, so it appears that he is the same person. Please review the article at The Silver Seas and add any information from it that would improve this draft. Please also include links to appropriate articles, such as The Silver Seas and the names of other listed musicians. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:30, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Daniel Tashian

Daniel Tashian is a diverse songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who has a knack for helping artists develop their sound. He has spent ten years writing and producing for independent powerhouse Big Yellow Dog Music.[1].

Daniel’s music career began when he was 19 years old and signed his first deal on Elektra Records[2]. His first album was produced by T. Bone Burnett, and he also started a band called The Silver Seas in 1999[2]. The success of that band’s first EP lead them to an appearance on the Jules Holland Show[3].

Recently, he co-produced Kacey Musgraves’ critically acclaimed album Golden Hour in addition to co-writing 7 of the album’s 13 songs, including “Slow Burn,” “Happy and Sad,”  “Love is a Wild Thing,” and the album’s title track, “Golden Hour.”[4] Daniel has received 2 Grammys[5], 1 ACM award[6], and 1 CMA award[7] for his work on the album. Other production credits include Tenille Townes’s Living Room Worktapes EP[8], Jessie James Decker’s On This Holiday album[9], and work for artists including A Girl Called Eddy, Trent Dabbs, Emily West, Lily & Madeleine, Lissie, and Sad Penny.

Other notable songwriting credits to Daniel’s name include his first number one song, “Hometown Girl” by Josh Turner[10], “White Horse” by Tenille Townes[11], “Good Night” by Billy Currington[12], and “The Bees” by Leeann Womack[13]. He has also had several sync placements in hit TV shows and movies including the film Our Idiot Brother[14], Pretty Little Liars, Nashville, Reign, and Scorpion.

Daniel continues to stay busy: His latest project, a children's album for which he has written and produced all the music, as well as painted pieces for all album and single art associated with the release, is available as of May 3rd, 2019[15]
