My name is Dan Steven Erickson and I’m a songwriter. I’ve been writing songs all of my life. It’s innate. I can’t not write songs. I’ve written over 1500 songs. I’ve studied the methods of the great songwriters. I’ve made a point to constantly write better songs, deeper songs.

Songwriting isn’t all I do. I just love to create stuff. I also compose ambient music, write poetry, books, and do some photography. I love to share what I do and inspire others to become creators, too.

I recently started a YouTube Channel to share insights on songwriting and to post simple recordings of my songs. You can check it out here: youtube.com/@DanStevenErickson. If you like what I’m doing, please subscribe and keep coming back. 

Highlights:

• More than 1500 songs written.
• Wrote A Train Called Forgiveness about my abusive childhood experience in an extremist cult.
• Hours of experimental electronic music composed as Anderhill.
• Hundreds of poems written.
• Several books published.
