Hi! My name is Daan Koekelkoren, a music producer and composer based in Amsterdam who creates tailored music for TV and radio ads, podcasts, and social campaigns, while also handling post-production and sonic branding. My studio in Amsterdam is where I collaborate closely with clients to craft original music and sonic identities that enhance storytelling and brand experiences. Outside the studio, I run Zwarte Koffie Events and Studio Zwarte Koffie as founder and CEO, and I perform as a touring DJ under my own name. I love merging image and sound to bring ideas to life, from live events and club culture to digital campaigns and branded music solutions.
