Dan Deramos plays guitar and writes songs for
Echosend. At age 5, Dan's musical career started with piano
lessons, followed by cello lessons and joining chorus in grade
school. He joined the Suzuki Youth Orchestra and won a first place
medal for a cello solo performance. By the age of 12, Dan was
formally trained in classical music and regularly performed
Beethoven, Vivaldi and Bach. At the age of 13, he taught himself
drums and guitar and began to learn the Blues and basic songwriting.
Dan's love for writing, recording and performing music inspired him
to join and form different cover, Rock and Blues bands. In 1998, he
formed an original Rock band, Echosend, with some Jazz musician
friends. Now Echosend plays on some of the biggest stages in Chicago
and the Midwest. They have been featured in many showcases and
festivals. And the band's songs have been played on the local radio
and licensed to MTV and independent films. Echosend released their
second full length CD in January.
