The
band
had
the
honor
of
'seeing
the
world',
opening
for
such
bands
as
RUN
DMC,
UB40,
David
Bowie
and
Bon
Jovi,
eventually
becoming
the
supporting
act
for
the
Rolling
Stones'
1991
European
tour.
It
was
at
this
time
Dan
journeyed
to
India
with
Bob
Guccione
Jr.
to
interview
the
Dalai
Lama
for
Spin
Magazine.
It
was
during
this
trip
that
Dan
began
to
hunger
for
more
than
the
pop/rock
music
scene
had
to
offer.
This
was
the
catalyst
for
the
long
journey
that
Dan
has
taken,
bringing
him
back
in
2008
where
he
belongs,
writing
and
performing
new
music
with
experiences
wth
the
"rock
star
image"
behind
him.
In
the
1990's
he
started
an
independent
record
company
in
his
hometown
of
Portland,
Oregon
to
help
promote
local
Northwest
bands,
while
at
the
same
time
studying
acting.
Dan
was
cast
in
a
number
of
plays
and
small
role's
in
television
and
film
projects,
and
was
given
great
reviews
for
his
performances,
which
gave
him
confidence
to
take
it
to
the
next
logical
step-
screenplay
writing.
'Zigzag',
a
script
penned
by
Dan,
caught
the
eye
of
a
local
production
company
in
Portland
and
was
produced
in
1997
with
Mr.
Reed
playing
the
leading
role.
The
film
reached
the
Top
20
in
Billboard's
home
video
rental
category.
OHM
Nightclub
IIn
1999
Dan
became
a
partner
in
an
established
blue's
and
rock
music
nightclub
in
Portland
called
Key
Largo,
the
same
club
DRN
played
regularly
and
where
Bill
Graham
first
discovered
the
band.
Realizing
that
the
electronic
music
scene
was
primarily
to
date
confined
to
warehouses,
special
events
and
outdoor
parties,
he
saw
an
opportunity
to
turn
Key
Largo
into
a
'hybrid
club',
having
live
bands
from
9pm
to
midnight
and
then
switching
gears
from
midnight
to
4am
with
local
and
international
DJ's.
Renamed
'OHM
Nightclub",
the
venue
became
the
premier
spot
to
check
out
cutting
edge
music,
while
at
the
same
time
introducing
the
future
of
music
to
the
rock
audience.
After
attending
the
Burning
Man
festival
in
late
2004
Dan
realized
that
being
pinned
down
in
the
nightclub
world
had
it's
dangerous
side,
for
not
only
did
he
help
create
a
great
success
with
OHM,
but
he
also
succumbed
to
the
darker
side
of
the
nightclub
business
fueled
by
alcohol
and
drugs.
He
realized
his
talent
and
his
energy
were
being
drained
from
the
constant
parties,
substance
abuse
and
endless
late
nights.
With
his
father
Thomas
Reed
being
diagnosed
with
cancer
and
passing
away
shortly
thereafter,
Dan
rallied
his
energy
and
left
the
Nightclub,
did
construction
work
for
a
year
to
clear
his
head,
then
headed
back
to
India.
Ironically
the
same
place
that
gave
him
the
courage
to
leave
the
music
business
15
years
before,
was
soon
to
become
the
inspiration
to
return
to
the
music.
Immediately
upon
arriving
in
Dharamsala,
India
in
2005
Dan
sought
out
the
Tibetan
monks,
feeling
a
need
to
connect
with
their
philosophy
and
lifestyle.
After
befriending
two
monks
Lobsang
and
Sonam,
Dan
was
invited
to
live
in
a
monastery
guesthouse
and
with
that
came
the
ability
to
attend
the
daily
prayer
meetings
and
rituals.
India
During
a
year
long
journey
in
India,
Dan
had
met
many
Israeli
musicians
and
artists
vacationing
throughout
the
country
and
became
fascinated
with
the
stories
of
Israeli
life,
the
hope
and
the
tragedies,
and
after
meeting
a
fashion
designer
turned
energy
healer
named
Adi
Hadani,
he
decided
he
would
venture
to
the
Middle
East
to
see
what
he
could
learn
about
the
beauty
and
the
conflict
of
this
most
interesting
and
enigmatic
part
of
the
world.
Upon
visiting
Kfir
Shtivi
in
Jerusalem,
an
Israeli
musician
he
met
in
Varanasi,
India,
Dan
made
the
decision
to
re-locate
his
recording
studio
and
his
life
from
Portland
to
the
ancient
city
of
Jerusalem
in
2006.
It
was
here
that
he
found
the
renewed
spirit
to
channel
his
energies
to
his
first
love.
MUSIC.
Coming
Up
For
Air
IIt
was
at
this
time
Max
Wasa,
an
old
friend,
musical
producer
and
creator
of
LIQUID
MUSIC
GROUP,
offered
to
take
Mr.
Reed
out
of
the
home
studio
and
bring
his
music
back
in
to
the
light
of
the
public.
Max
enlisted
her
long
time
associate
Clay
Ostwald
of
Miami
Sound
Machine
and
with
his
partner
Tommy
Anthony
of
RED
ROCK
PRODUCTIONS,
they
collaborated
with
Max
and
co-produced
the
tracks
Dan
had
begun
tracking
back
in
Jerusalem,
working
with
Israeli
and
Palestinian
musicians
alike.
This
process
was
the
beginning
foundation
of
how
half
of
the
new
album
was
created.
The
second
stage
was
'coming
back
home'
to
Portland
and
working
with
producer/artist
Rob
Daiker
at
'The
Commune'
studios
which
culminated
in
producing
6
more
tracks
and
creating
the
finished
product-
'Coming
Up
For
Air'.
Zero
One
Dan
now
lives
in
Paris,
where
he
has
created
the
new
label
'ZERO
ONE'
where
his
debut
solo
album
will
be
released,
as
well
as
many
other
artist
will
be
represented.
With
'Coming
Up
For
Air'
Dan
presents
a
group
of
songs
that
mirror
his
life
journey
and
the
search
for
that
elusive
deeper
resonance
we
all
hunger
for
at
some
point
in
our
lives.
With
songs
composed
from
Hong
Kong
to
New
Delhi,
Jerusalem
to
London,
he
has
come
full
circle
to
do
what
he
has
always
done
best-
create
and
to
perform
to
all
who
will
listen.
