dan Boreal

With brutal honesty and swagger, Quebec punk-rocker Dan Boreal blends grit and melody into layered, hard-hitting tunes. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist and producer, he crafts his tracks himself, from the first riff to the final mix, with help from his brother-from-another-mother, Vince Desmarais, fueling the fire on drums.
Before launching his solo project, Boreal played guitar for Les Breastfeeders, FeryHart, and other touring acts across Europe, Canada, and the U.S. After stepping away to rebuild, he came back sharper and more grounded. His music reflects that journey—sobriety, fatherhood, and the drive to create something real. 
His new single “White Hot Spotlight” (Oct. 30th) captures that fire: an honest, high-voltage song about being seen for who you truly are.
