“Life is meant to be lived” Hey guys my track “11:11” with @elisechantelle_ is out now! I’m so thankful to have worked with her on this and I really hope you guys enjoy the track. I had a lot more planned in my presentation for this release, sadly this year hasn’t been off to a great start and I’ve been pretty much at war with myself to get just about anything done. I apologize for that, and I am trying to do my best to keep things going. The line I wrote at the start is something that has been hovering around me a lot lately. It’s in the shows I watch, the messages I read and even from some of the strangers I’ve met. As this song is part of my hope in love. I felt like sharing my thoughts with you. Anyways, I included the story of the song in the pictures above if you’re curious to learn more about it. I hope you guys enjoy and let me know what you think. Thank you for all the support! -Danehar

I know I’m gonna open a can of worms with this, but I think I’m ready now. I wrote this song at the start of last year. It was probably the second song I wrote after getting evicted and the start of my spiral in my own personal life that plagued me all of last year. Crazy that as I finally started seeing some level of success as a producer and dj, everything else went on fire. Tbh though that’s kind of how it goes. It was during all this that I started to think back to the early days of my relationship with the girl who even got me started on this journey in the first place. Us splitting after years together is what led me to pick up a midi keyboard and daw in the first place. But back to my early point I started thinking of how chaotic our start was. This melody came to my head. Some moments can change everything in your life. And me walking into that GameStop and meeting you is honestly that. You came in to my life like a tidal wave. As my depression escalated throughout last year to where even my inner circle finally started seeing the cracks, I kept having to remind myself of what you saw in me. Honestly outside of my mom to this day you were the only person that genuinely made me feel like I was capable of anything. I accomplished a lot because of you. This journey is incredibly isolating at times I’m sure other producers understand. I used this song as a happy reminder of when I felt like I mattered. Crazy to think a couple weeks ago would have been our 10th anniversary or the fact that we’ve now been apart just as long as we were together. If this somehow finds you I promise I’m still keeping my end of the bargain, but just like I said in our final days. Even if I were to die tomorrow, I could honestly say I lived a pretty fulfilled life because of our time together. I feel that now just like I did back then. Thank you for all your kindness, love and hope for all those years. I genuinely couldn’t imagine going through all that with anyone else. Even now they still mean the world to me. I hope these past 5 years have been kinder to you than they have been to me. Out of both of us, you definitely deserved the good ending. -Danehar

Definitely thankful for all the support I’ve gotten this year! 2025 has been a roller coaster for me. I was able to travel and play shows in different parts of the US. I met so many wonderful people as well as some amazing communities and organizations that do so much to drive the scene in their cities. I got to play some major events like sxsw and mmw. All of this was possible because of every one of you that have listened to my songs or shared my music with others. 2025 has also come with its fair share of struggles. The challenges we face as producers or djs has overwhelmed me in ways I never experienced or could have imagined from my life before when I was in bands. I’ve learned quite a few hard lessons and am doing my best to come up with whatever solutions I can to keep improving. If you have me in your top 5 artists let me know! Tag or dm me. I’m planning something for yall! Thanks again for everything I promise I’ll release more than 6 tracks next year.

Can’t believe it’s just a few days away! It’s surreal that I’m playing at White oak with @leyouth . Im grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on since I’ve been off the grid for a bit here. I hope to see you guys there! -Danehar

Another song that almost didn’t come out. Except this time I was the reason why. I’ve made a few vocal tracks, and those are usually the hardest for me to release or even shop. I’m trying to grow into that role more, but I still struggle to see myself that way. I wrote this around my birthday last year, and the only time I’ve ever performed it was at my birthday show at Bauhaus. For starters, let’s address something you might’ve noticed if you checked out the track. It might feel a little odd that this is paired with my last two releases. That’s intentional. This is the first track from my upcoming EP Reassurance As A Survival Mechanism. I had thoughts about doing something like this back in 2024, but it never felt like the right time. Recently I started realizing how connected these songs actually are. I even thought about including “Tidal Wave” and starting there, but the more I sat with everything I’ve been going through, the clearer it became that this needed to start somewhere else. My birthdays are usually really rough on me. I can’t really control it, but I become more aware of how unhappy I am around that time. Even when things looked good on the outside — playing shows outside of Houston, music moving forward — I started realizing how fragile everything else felt. My relationships, my friendships… even myself. This song comes from that. I think with this one, I ended up focusing on what I always seem to come back to first — my relationships. I’ve been questioning if I’m even right for love. Lately, when I close my eyes, what I remember most about the ones I can’t seem to forget… isn’t their voice. It’s their eyes. I’ve been stuck in that loop. I’ll be talking more about the EP soon. There’s still a lot I’m excited (and honestly a little nervous) to share. I appreciate all the support you’ve given me. I’m doing the best I can to make it mean something. — Danehar

Hi guys! I wanted to fill you in on a project I’m starting up. I’ve been thankful for all those that have supported my house of healing playlist that it has allowed me to do more! One thing I noticed from my touring is how cohesive the other scenes in my genre are compared to here at home and I want to try to change that. It’s gonna be a process but at least for now I can help give a platform to highlight the different melodic and progressive house producers across Texas. Here’s where I need your help! I know quite a few of them but I’m happy to discover more! If you know any producer that does these genres that is your friend or you’re a fan of and they are Texas based. Please send them my way! Share or tag them in the comments! I’m not looking to charge or monetize this playlist as I want to share the platform that you have helped me built and give back. With the hopes that this evolves into something bigger. Thanks for hearing me out! -Danehar

Hey again guys, I almost didn’t release this song. This is the last of the songs I wrote during that period in late 2024 as I lost my relationship with N and faced eviction. At that point it felt like music was really all I had left. So this was in the same writing period as Virgo,ignite and technically 11:11 (although that track got finished way later). My birthday is tomorrow and as I do my usual self reflecting, I kinda figured this would be the most appropriate to release for a plethora of reasons. The harsh reality is that I’m not the biggest fan of my birthdays. I haven’t been especially lately. I know I’ve talked a lot about that I’m not all that there in my previous songs but I think it’s about time I open up fully about this topic. I don’t really enjoy being me anymore These last 6 years have been the most emotionally taxing years of my life. And although I know I have a lot to be proud of and grateful for. I wish the negativity in my life wasn’t as loud as it is. Outside of music I genuinely feel invisible as a person and to be honest I don’t know how to fix that. I wrote this song as well as Virgo and Ignite with that feeling in mind. I was trying to capture hope. This song has become very relatable to me the past couple of months. Like me, this song has survived. I only recently got full control of it a few months ago as it got passed from label to label. “Good enough to get into the door, but not quite enough to belong” I’m sure a lot of producers can relate to that. That phrase has been the summary of the last 6 years for me in multiple areas of my life, but like the song. I’ve survived, I’m still pushing and I’m still here. I hope this song finds the people who need it. To all those who feel Unwanted Misunderstood Lonely Under appreciated Or like an outcast This song is for you If this song resonates with you, save it for the days you need it. -Danehar
