Joan Dans
After a three-album music career in japan, then a good run as a voiceover artist and producer in los angeles, the slow-down of work during the pandemic gave me the opportunity to rediscover an old passion: writing.
Writing has helped me express myself in new ways, telling stories I feel are important through fiction and non-fiction, and sharing my little take on the human experience.
Follow me on my journey toward publishing my first book and beyond!
