Dan Arwady

Dan Arwady is a musician, charting songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, based in Pacifica, CA. In 2025, Arwady received an official Grammy Awards Consideration from The Recording Academy for Record of the Year, for his single, "Somebody Else", one of his biggest accolades to date. The single previously hit the charts in the US and the UK for 3 months, peaking at #38 on the Mediabase Top 40 Activator Chart in late May and peaking at #7 on the Music Week UK Commercial Pop Charts. Arwady's follow-up single, "Cold in Memphis", released on June 20 2025, peaked at #35 on the Mediabase Top 40 Activator Chart and spent 5 consecutive weeks in the Top 40. Arwady released his first full-length album, "The Weight of Love", in September 2025, containing both of these singles, as well as 11 other songs. He has been promoting the release with shows and live-on-air radio performances, including appearances on The Summit FM's New Artist Series and WYSO's "Kaleidoscope". This success led to a recent signing with The Administration MP, now the exclusive administrator of Arwady's music. Arwady's lyrics are personal, in that he reflects on stories and events from his life – but at the same time, he strives to make the stories relatable, to allow others to find their own way into his lyrics. “The Weight of Love offers a further demonstration of the prowess that Arwady has at his command," wrote Lee Zimmerman in American Songwriter. "His songs are singular statements that reflect an earnest and engaging point of view, with influences gleaned from the likes of artists like Ray LaMontagne, James Taylor, Paul Simon, and other intrepid troubadours who have taken a similar stance.” He is continuously writing, performing, and recording, and can be found road-testing his new material around the country.
