About Me

Guitarist, Composer and Producer

Dan Sistos is a prolific and sought after session and touring musician in the United States. He has played with some of the biggest names in the business, such as Christina Aguilera and Toni Braxton. He has performed on major radio stations and on network television on such well-known shows as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Late Show with David Letterman, Good Morning America and the American Music Awards. Dan was also the featured guitarist on the blockbuster video game, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Dan's debut CD,“In the Midnight Hours,” received rave reviews in music publications, and has been excitedly lauded by his fans. 20th Century Guitar Magazine hailed him a “Spanish guitar master” while Black Label Reviews declared him “the Carlos Santana for the next generation.” He was even nominated for Instrumental Artist of the Year at the Los Angeles Music Awards. Dan's latest album, The Road To Euphoria, continues his tradition of blending classical, latin and jazz influences to create a sonic masterpiece that is truly extraordinary. Dan started playing the guitar when he was fourteen years old in San Diego, California. His natural ability for the instrument was so evident that he was awarded a scholarship to the National Guitar Summer Workshop a year later. After that he studied at the Berklee School of Music in Boston, and later at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood, CA. Since graduating GIT in 1997, Dan has been working as a full-time professional musician in Los Angeles. He has had music licensed for TV & film and currently works out of his studio, Turtle Rock Studios, in Burbank CA
