New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Daniel Tashian has made his mark as one of the most sought-after writers and producers in music, collaborating with everyone from Kacey Musgraves (GRAMMY Album Of The Year winner / 'Golden Hour') to legendary artists including Burt Bacharach and Ringo Starr. Earlier this month at the 2025 BMI Pop Awards, held at the Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles, CA, he earned an award for his work as a co-writer and co-producer of the Jonas Brothers' "Waffle House" (2023).
"It was an honor to be among only a few Nashville folks at the BMI Pop Awards this year, and I wouldn't have been there were it not for Jon Bellion, Ido Zmishlany, Gregory Hein, Johnny Simpson, Pete Nappi and the Jonas Brothers," says Tashian. "It's lovely to be recognized by the community and I don't take it lightly. Thank you, BMI, for looking after my songs."
