Dan is a service connected disabled veteran but he isn't letting that stop him. His new song and Video of "Yah Ha Yah" distributed by DistroKid and Published by Eternal Light and Power Company (ASCAP) Just released in 2021.

The Video concept is that no matter where your are or what you are doing, you can Praise Yah and call on his name. After covid lockdowns which still continue in many places, many could not go to services and worship freely. As things open back up, in many places, worship still remains closed, so it does not matter where you are or what you are doing, you can always pray and worship in any situation in life.

Dan had a 1994 Top 40 CCM song entitled "Like Stephen" featured on the CCM Countdown with Bob Sour. His Album "Aliyah" was released in 1993.

Dan has been through many difficult times over the last few years. Dan's son passed away in 2018 from DMD and shortly after Dan was diagnosed with Cancer. For many years Dan and his family put life on hold while they cared for his son, then once he passed, Dan had several operations to remove cancer. Dan says his work for the Almighty was not finished so Yah God healed him and opened the doors for his new works for the Kingdom. Yah's Way TV began airing in September 2021 and Dan recorded his new song adding to his previous released songs with producer Randy Green at AudioTrax West in Portville New York.
