DAN WHITLAM
plus support
Whelan’s Main Venue • Fri 24th October 2025
Dan Whitlam emerges as a rising luminary in the world of music, with his soulful voice and poignant lyrics weaving a spellbinding tapestry of emotions. From TikTok, where he narrates the lives of twenty-something-year-olds through rap and spoken word, to the stages of his London hometown, Dan’s innate ability to encapsulate raw sentiment has sparked admiration far and wide.
Within Dan’s work, artists such as Fred Again… and Arlo Parks have praised his musical ability, while the fashion brand Hermes has titled him as their resident poet, further validating his magnetic presence. Dan’s singles find themselves under the label of Needwant. Notably among them is “Juliette,” his latest single, which not only showcases his ingenuity but also boasts a stunning music video – directed by Tega Alexander – that helped drive an impressive 2 million views on TikTok.
His other tracks include “Young Minds,” “Lights Down,” and “Quick Intimacy,” each an artistic gem showcasing Dan’s distinct style and multifaceted prowess. By melding the power of spoken word with melodic nuances, Dan has formed a bond with his listeners, enveloping them in emotive narratives that linger long after the music fades.
Dan’s creative talents extend beyond music, as he recently wrote poems to the NFL and YSL Beauty’s “Abuse is not love” campaign. Based on real-life accounts of women caught up in abusive relationships, Dan traveled to Paris, where he was filmed performing these poems to feature in YSL’s next worldwide online campaign.
Looking ahead, Dan Whitlam is poised for an exciting chapter in his career. With new music releases on the horizon and upcoming shows, he continues to captivate audiences with his soulful artistry.
Additionally, Dan is once again collaborating with Tega Alexander to re-release his music video for “Young Minds,” a project that aligns with their shared commitment to raising awareness on World Mental Health Day.
As Dan Whitlam’s influence grows, his dedication to meaningful endeavors solidifies his status as a rising luminary in the music industry.
