Today’s guest is a songwriter, producer and musician from Long Island, NY. After playing in his own pop-rock band, ‘As Tall As Lions’ as lead vocalist and guitarist, he relocated to Los Angeles to work as a songwriter and producer. In the years since, he's worked with artists as disparate as Olivia Rodrigo, Sky Ferreira, Carly Rae Jepsen, Caroline Polachek, Empress Of, FINNEAS, Conan Gray and many more. Most notably, he co-wrote and produced the entirety of Olivia Rodrigo's debut album Sour, which broke the record for the biggest album debut week by a female artist. This record includes the record-smashing single "good 4 u", which holds the Spotify record for most streams of a song in a single week (passing her other record-smashing lead single "drivers license"). Our guest also enjoys a similar long term creative relationship with the singer-songwriter Conan Gray. And The Writer Is… Daniel Nigro!

Dan is amazing, I wrote a feature about the album for a Russian outlet, so did some research myself. But I was pretty sure he is an incredible person, hence the performance on SNL, where he looks at Olivia like the proud dad. Thank you for these podcasts to Ross and everyone on the team. It's pure gold.

ATAL’s music changed my life forever, musically and in terms of what it did for (to?) me as a teenager. I still listen to their records frequently.

"an album should be 10 hits"? did you really mean to say that?

Probably not, but after Sour and Guts, maybe he can get away with it

Are musicians in America signed to a label before have any songs written.

You make good songs and build a fan base. That way you have a reputation. If the label likes you and thinks you will be successful, you get signed and then you start making songs for the label.
