Dan Scholes DSM šŸŽ¶ Helping indie artists craft powerful songs & release them with impact šŸš€

Hey — I’m Dan Scholes, a music producer and artist mentor based near Liverpool in the UK, specialising in pop, indie-pop and singer-songwriter genres. With over 20 years of industry experience, I help independent artists bring their vision to life — from the early demos, right through to release. Whether you’re looking for full production or simply need expert support to plan and promote your next

release, I offer a hands-on, personalised approach that’s helped artists land millions of streams, radio play, and placements in film and TV. Thanks to remote production tools, I regularly work with artists across the UK, Europe, the USA, Canada and beyond— helping them make bold creative choices and release music with confidence. I’ve been fortunate to produce and co-write music that’s amassed millions of streams, earned international radio play, and featured on networks including BBC, Netflix, Apple TV, and Sky. Along the way, I’ve worked with everyone from emerging singer-songwriters to label-signed artists across the UK, Europe, USA, and Canada. I've worked on artist projects with Sony Music, Warner Chappell Music, Muve Records and Energise Records to name a few.

Ever feel stuck on what to post as an artist?

You’re not alone — and you’re not behind.

If you’ve ever said:
ā€œI don’t know what to sayā€¦ā€
ā€œI’ll post when the mix is finishedā€¦ā€
ā€œWhat if I look stupid?ā€

šŸ‘‰ That’s exactly why I created The Indie Artist’s Guide to Posting on IG & TikTok

It’s a free resource for indie artists who want to show up more consistently — without the cringe, burnout, or pressure to become a full-time content creator.

Inside you’ll get:
āœ… Real-world post ideas
āœ… Mindset shifts that actually help
āœ… A way to share your music with confidence, not dread

šŸŽ Link to grab it is in my bio

Inside you’ll find things such as:
āœ… What to prepare before working with a producer
āœ… How to avoid costly studio mistakes
āœ… How to get your song ready for a pro mix and release

šŸŽ§ You can get it via the link in my bio — available free until 9th May or at the link below:
