Grammy Nominated Songwriter Dan Navarro at Gibson Music Hall

Dan Navarro’s long and eclectic resume includes “songwriter,” “recording artist,” “singer”, “voice actor”, “producer”, “road warrior” and “arts advocate” in its extensive range of credits.

Dan's career started as a songwriter, most often with Eric Lowen, for artists as diverse as Pat Benatar (the Grammy-nominated “We Belong”) The Bangles, Jackson Browne, Dave Edmunds, The Temptations, Dionne Warwick, The Triplets, Dutch star Marco Borsato, and Austin outlaw legend Rusty Weir. Most recognized perhaps is We Belong which can be heard in numerous films (including Pitch Perfect 2, Talladega Nights) and most recently as part of the Disney/Hulu subscriber ads.

Dan has a parallel career as a voice actor and singer, in films like The Playmobil Movie, Pirates of the Caribbean 5, The Book Of Life, Rio (on the Oscar®-nominated “Real In Rio”), Happy Feet, The Lorax, Ice Age (2 & 3) ; TV series Turbo Fast, Prison Break, Family Guy and American Dad; records with Neil Young, Andrea Bocelli, Luis Miguel, Jose Feliciano, Janiva Magness, and Jon Anderson of Yes; hit video games Fallout 4 and Uncharted 4, and hundreds of TV ads for Subaru, Shakey’s, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Honda, Nationwide and more. Most recently, Dan sang on six Lin-Manuel Miranda songs in the Disney Film ENCANTO and, in Feb 2022, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart.

Dan’s most recent album, "Horizon Line" was produced by multiple Grammy®-winner Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Wilco, Dixie Chicks, & the first five Lowen&Navarro albums) is an album Dan has worked his entire career to make. Rich in sound, deft in its execution, deep in emotions worth singing about, Dan is focused on where he is going – to the next connection, the next stage, the next town, the next feeling, just beyond the “Horizon Line.”
