About & Contact

Dan Tarbuck is a composer, songwriter, artist and producer, based in London, UK.

Dan writes, records and performs regularly with Szou, a female-fronted indie electro-pop band. Their new single, “Thinkin’ Bout“, which Dan co-wrote, co-produced and performed on, was broadcast three weeks in a row on Future Pop on BBC Radio 1 in September 2024 (presented by Mollie King).

His debut single, “Get Up“, was hand-picked by BBC DJ Tom Robinson and broadcast on BBC Radio 6 Music as part of The BBC Introducing Mixtape, on 27th June 2022. This was followed by the release of his self-produced debut EP, “Don’t Wanna Wake” (released under the name Tarbuck & Skelly).

Dan has composed for a variety of bespoke projects, alongside writing regularly for numerous production music labels, including Universal, Sony ATV/EMI, KPM, Juice Music, Music House, Cavendish, West One Music, BMG, IMG, Zero Point Productions and Bleach Music; see below for examples. The “Modern Drama” tracks were commissioned by LA-based trailer music composer, Stuart Roslyn.
