Dax Millan: www.instagram.com/daxmillanmusic

Dax Millan is a Singer/Songwriter based in Seattle since 2016. His songwriting is reminiscent of early Sufjan Stevens melodic progressions with some traces of Tracy Chapman-esque sliding riffs. Never shies away on stories inspired by the sadder somber spectrum, translating emotional limbos into lyrical tangibility that most listeners can takeaway and escape with.

“If a single soul could feel less alone because of what we wrote, then perhaps what we did and how we got there, meant something"
