Dan Teper studied music at Berklee, USA where he specialised in film scoring, jazz piano and folk accordion.

A multi-instrumentalist (and awful singer), he has been writing music for film and television full time since 2000.

His credits comprise numerous films, documentaries,
docu-dramas, reality TV series and cinematic shorts including the BAFTA nominated "Nits" in 2004 and the multi-award winning US feature "In Memory of My Father" in 2005.

He has scored three other feature films including Samuelson Productions' "Things to do Before You're 30" starring Dougray Scott, Amelia Fox, Billie Piper and Jimi Mistry.

Dan’s work for the advertising industry includes music for Peugeot, Kelloggs, Vision Express, Jamie Oliver, Halls, BBC3 Comedy, Snack-a-Jacks and Egg Bank.

He has written music for shows for all the major UK television networks, as well as some of the more dodgy minor ones.

His KPM albums “CheeseCore” (2001), Imagination (2007) and CheeseCore Deluxe (2008) have enjoyed phenomenal worldwide success and have been used in hundreds of shows from Coast (BBC) to Only Fools & Horses (BBC) to Bo! Selecta (C4) to Oprah Winfrey (US).

As a musician he has toured extensively across Europe and beyond and has performed for the British Royal Family on more than one occasion as well as for Gordon Brown and
The Cheeky Girls (on seperate occasions).

Dan works from his own fully equipped studio in bohemian South-East London where he cowers beneath huge piles of exotic accordions and vintage synthesizers. He is a keen footballer, but is learning that other things in life, apart from football, can be interesting too. Although rarely more so than football itself.
