Dan Radin

Dan Radin is a classically trained cellist and singer-songwriter on a mission to redefine the role of the cello in popular music. Since landing in Austin in 2015, he’s become a go-to session player, backing artists from The Voice and American Idol, performing at SXSW, and opening for Grammy winners. In 2022, Radin made a bold pivot- leaving his corporate job, launching a grassroots campaign that raised nearly $30,000, and stepping into the spotlight with his own music. The result was his debut solo album, Romance for Antiheroes: a cinematic blend of indie-pop, rock, and chamber instrumentation led by one of the only singing cellists in modern music. Now three years sober and with 1000+ performances under his belt, Radin returns with PLAY- his self-produced sophomore album that explores the chaos of youth, a sobriety journey, and self-discovery. With soaring cello lines, hook-laced vocals, and fearless honesty, Radin is carving out new sonic territory and proving that reinvention isn’t just possible- it’s the point.
