Sounds Of Dash is the music project of Daniel Widström, a Swedish storyteller.
I started writing fantasy as a teenager. I loved reading and the worlds that took shape in my imagination. I began working on a fantasy book and had ideas for songs, but I never finished those early projects.
After some encouragement to explore AI tools and digital music production, I began experimenting with telling stories through music. I was drawn in straight away. It gave me a new way to bring ideas to life that I had carried with me for years.
My debut album, Small Comforts, was released on September 3, 2026. It explores how the smallest things can make a big difference — a feeling, a rhythm, a kind gesture, or a piece of music that helps you look ahead and keep moving. Across eight tracks, melody and emotion remain at the heart of the music.
As Sounds Of Dash, I don't limit myself to one genre. From melodic electronic music to outlaw country and epic fantasy-inspired rock and metal, I enjoy exploring different sounds and finding the right musical identity for each story.
My upcoming projects include Tales From The Frontier, an album of stories about life, freedom and human nature in the Old West, and Arennia, a fantasy-inspired musical world rooted in the stories I first began imagining as a teenager.
For me, music is another way of telling stories — and there are still plenty left to tell.
