Daniel Collins: Producer/Engineer/Musician 

It all began as it always does. 

Boy sees rock star (in this case, Gene Simmons), boy wants to be rock star. 

It all goes downhill from there (or uphill depending upon your point of view). After touring for nearly a decade and producing records along the way, Daniel decided to finally take the pig by the tail and do what he has always desired … make records every day. So here he is, countless records adorning his name later, at the aptly named Pigpen Studios…. waiting to hear if you have what it takes to make a great record. 

And of course, with music comes business. Daniel’s learned a thing or two through the years (including a music business degree) and has decided to put it to use. He started Pigpen Records in 2008 and is currently managing PictureMeFree. While running the successful Pigpen Studios, and Pigpen Records, Daniel has developed an influential relationship with the Athens music community in many ways, including teaching Pro Tools to aspiring producers and engineers. 

In his free time.... well...he...uh, still wants to be Gene Simmons.
