About Dan Goode

As an artist, Dan has amassed a fanbase of over 200,000 followers across social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Soundcloud.

Dan is the only Saxophonist & DJ in the UK to be verified on social media as a recognised celebrity/ public figure. 

Dan’s “All of Me” cover, released in 2015, has since become the most popular sax cover of the song on Soundcloud worldwide. Recently, Dan recorded a featured sax solo for a track released on one of the UK’s most renowned D&B labels, Hospitality records (“Kessel Run” by Polaris), demonstrating his musical versatility. He also released a cover of “Passionfruit” which features his own vocals and sax, followed by his recent cover of “The Weekend”, also featuring his own vocals.

Dan has an extensive sax repertoire (150+ songs) which he knows from memory, and a keen ear, allowing him to play any style of music, with a playlist tailored to the audience and the event itself.
