Dan Sugarman

Dan Sugarman is a 28 year old instrumental guitarist, from Los Angeles - with passion, purpose, and a message. We are all in control of our lives, and through music, we can become the alchemist of anything thrown our way - turning a dark past, into a bright future. We can all become a beacon of light in a dark place. Sugarman's prolific undertakings within the progressive metal arena have earned him a place in the hearts of all those who love heavy instrumental music. With the release of his debut instrumental record "Centersun," and immediate acceptance and positive feedback from major media outlets and the masses, he was only just getting started. It has been said that Dan has a unique way of communicating with his instrument - and with good reason. After earning his place in the metal community as the lead guitarist and songwriter for the internationally touring band as Blood Runs Black - he decided to leave the band in 2016 in order to take care of his mother, who was terminally ill with brain cancer. In that time period, Dan began his career as a solo instrumentalist, transmuting the negative energy he was bombarded with daily, in order to turn that darkness into something beautiful, and with meaning. Soon after the release of "Centersun," he began his greatest endeavor yet - "Inside/Out" - The Living Album. Dan began releasing one song per month to his exclusive patreon members in a way that had never been done before. It was such a unique offering that he was even featured in an article about the "Living Album" alongside Kanye West - due to the cutting edge nature of his project.
