Dan started up Influential Entertainment while doing music
business back in college. After a few successful events working closely with
other artist’s urban style artists around the city he created the label
Influential Entertainment. He made Influential with the intension to help other up and
coming artists by giving them a platform to show off there music, for example giving them
regular studio time, live performances and free online promotion. A few years

independent record label in the Coventry area doing regular shows and events around

Dan-W himself is a talented artist heavily influenced by mainstream hip-hop and
dance music.
Dan raps but his music could be called Rap, Hip-Hop, R&B or Dance, he even
has a strong Pop element to his music. His cheeky raps and creative word play
along with his style of music is an exciting unique mix on today's electro
hip-hop blend. Some have called it Hip-Pop but what ever you call it, it’s energetic,
positive and bouncy. Dan has a strong fan base and understands there needs and
try's to interact with his supporters as much as he can. He appreciates the
support as without that he wouldn't be able to make a living doing what he
loves. Dan is always working on new music so you’re always sure to hear
something new, Dan also managers the other acts on the label so he works hard
to push the whole team and represent the city his from. Dan has worked hard to
create a brand not just for his label but himself and if you hear someone say “Its
Dan Who?” there isn’t going to be someone to far away to reply “Its Dan-W!”.
