Dan Mills has been winning over audiences with his dedication to the art of songwriting for over a decade. His craft and creativity shine through in his thoughtful lyrics and poignant melodies. Mills portrayed country-guitar legend Carl Perkins in the Broadway cast of Million Dollar Quartet and his song "Best I Could" earned him a nomination for Sirius XM Coffeehouse's “Singer/Songwriter Discovery of the Year". Mills’s 2017 release “Something Good” combined his knack for writing honest, lyric-driven folk songs with a raw Sun Records twang that seeped into his artistic voice while portraying Perkins. “Something Good” left Mills with millions of streams on Spotify, and a #49 spot on the AMA radio chart.

In addition to his work as a musician, Mills is a prolific writer, director, and composer. He was the co-creator and producer of the animated series "Gear Squad vs. Doctor Boring" and directed and scored "One, Ten, One Hundred," a Webby Award-winning documentary that explores the complicated relationship between money and creativity. Mills also wrote the music and lyrics for the song-cycle "Fiction in Photographs," which was later released as a cast album under the name "Songs from a Failed Play." With his diverse talents and unwavering dedication to his art, Dan Mills continues to captivate audiences with his music and creative projects.
