Daan Hofman is a songwriter and film composer based in Amsterdam.

 

He originally studied acting, but at theatre school he became increasingly fascinated by how music could shape a story. During those years, songwriting and performing gradually took centre stage.

 

For years he toured with his band, performing throughout the country and releasing two critically acclaimed albums, 'Fakkels van Suiker' and 'Frederic & de Katoenvelden', blending chanson, indie folk and Dutch lyrics.

Over time, his curiosity led him deeper into the craft of composition. Alongside songwriting, he built his own studio, where his interest in recording, production and composition led him to write music for film, theatre, documentaries and podcasts

​​

Today his work moves freely between songs and scores. Whether composing for the screen or writing his own music, storytelling remains the driving force behind everything he creates. His music is often described as bittersweet: playful by heart, but with a melancholic soul.

Daan lives with his wife and two sons near the dutch sea shore.
