About this episode

Dan McAndrew is an inspiring musician, producer, and the driving force behind Time Painting, a project that blends evocative synth beats and storytelling into something truly unique. In this episode, we explore Dan’s journey from being a self-described “bedroom producer” to becoming part of Montreal’s vibrant music scene.

Dan shares the highs and lows of his creative journey, from navigating the anxiety of live performances to the freedom of collaborating with a band. We talk about the meaning behind “Time Painting” and how it evolved from a band name to a personal philosophy. Plus, Dan opens up about the challenges of breaking out of small-town Pennsylvania and finding his place in music-centric cities like Austin, New Orleans, and eventually Montreal.

Key moments include Dan’s reflections on:

  • Overcoming performance anxiety and embracing vulnerability on stage.
  • The transformative power of collaboration and leaving the “bedroom producer” mindset behind.
  • His life-changing decision to move across cities and the impact it had on his creative growth.

Whether you’re a musician looking for inspiration or someone who loves hearing stories of resilience, this episode will resonate. Dan’s honesty, humor, and passion for music shine throughout.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Preparation and collaboration can elevate any performance.
  2. Facing anxiety head-on can lead to personal and artistic growth.
  3. The importance of embracing change and trusting the creative process.
