Daniel Tashian is an American songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He has spent ten years writing and producing for Big Yellow Dog Music.[1]

Tashian's music career began when he was 19 years old and signed his first deal on Elektra Records.[2] His first album was produced by T Bone Burnett, and he also started a band called The Silver Seas (originally called The Bees) in 1999.[2] The success of that band lead them to an appearance on Later... with Jools Holland.[3]

In 2018, he co-produced Kacey Musgraves' critically acclaimed album Golden Hour in addition to co-writing 7 of the album's 13 songs, including "Slow Burn", "Happy and Sad", "Love is a Wild Thing", and the album's title track, "Golden Hour".[4] Tashian received two Grammys,[5] one ACM award,[6] and one CMA award[7] for his work on the album. Other production credits include Tenille Townes' Living Room Worktapes EP,[8] Jessie James Decker's On This Holiday album,[9] and work for artists including A Girl Called Eddy, Trent Dabbs, Emily West, Lily & Madeleine, Lissie, and Sad Penny.

Other notable songwriting credits include his first number one song, "Hometown Girl" by Josh Turner,[10] "White Horse" by Tenille Townes,[11] "Good Night" by Billy Currington,[12] and "The Bees" by Lee Ann Womack.[13] He has also had several sync placements in hit TV shows including Pretty Little Liars, Nashville, Reign, and Scorpion as well as the film Our Idiot Brother.[14] His band The Silver Seas also placed a song in the Breaking Bad TV series.

In 2019 Tashian released I Love Rainy Days, a children's album for which he wrote and produced all the music and painted all associated artwork,[15] following in 2020 with Mr. Moonlight, another children's album.[16] In July 2020, Tashian collaborated with Burt Bacharach on the EP Blue Umbrella.
