Dan Southern

Dan Southern is a Nowra-based creative, musician, and drummer at heart who has been writing, recording, mixing, and releasing his own music since 2012. He is married, has three kids, and five dogs, and lives a life that is loud, chaotic, and permanently soundtracked by whatever he's working on next.Entirely self-taught, Dan founded his home studio, Ghetto Bird Studio, recording artists such as Adams Parade, Mac Tango, and Polly Hazelton. As a session drummer, he has played with Topnovil, Mac Tango, and even Joey Cape of Lagwagon over the years.His current focus is the comedic pop-punk project Fat Bald Idiot, but his history spans bands including Sort It Out, Under The Influence, Death Or Fireworks, All And South, Bowtie, and fronting Mixtape For The Drive, who toured alongside Lagwagon, Unwritten Law, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and Hawthorne Heights.Outside of music, Dan writes comedy, works full-time as a Creative Strategist at Bright Star Kids, and during COVID performed 10 weeks of Facebook live streams as "The Other John Williamson," Warilla's unofficial John Williamson impersonator.None of this would be possible without his incredibly supportive wife, Naomi, who is always on board with whatever creative idea he dreams up next.
