    -The Lion King releasing on this day definitely could have inspired Dan to go on to bigger and greater things. It's a story about an outsider that rises back up to take the crown. That's pretty much what he did with his music when he started with Imagine Dragons

    Has been playing music ever since he was 10. Learned how to play the pianon at this age, and it is fairly easy to say that this influenced his style. Piano players are good at creating complex, diverse pieces of music that can appeal to everyone.

    -The Titanic is one of the saddest movies of all time, and is also one of the most inspirational. I feel that if he had gone to see this movie as a kid and could reflect back on it due to the other pains of this world, it could have really impacted his music. The movie itself has one of the best soundtracks of all time and the music in the movie could have inspired him as well.
  • Period: to

    High School

    -14 to 18 years old
    -While in High School, he learned how to play guitar, drums, keys, piano, and several other instruments making him very keen on a musical career. He had even started a couple of groups during this time. Most people are influenced about what they want to do with the rest of their life by what happens to them in High School, and for Dan, music was his High School experience.

    -Because most of their music is based off of emotional pain and past sufferings, I would say that this event definitely could have had an effect on the way they wrote some of his music.

    -Hurricane Katriana was one of the worst hurricanes in American history, but quite the inspiration as the country came together to rebuild afterwards. I believe that this story of a horrible calamity followed by something wonderful would have been a big influence on his music.

    -The Chilean miner incident is one that I think would affect how he writes the positive side of his music. After these miners were stuck underground for 2 whole months they were each raised to safety. That's definitely an uplifting story.
  • Bite of Las Vegas Festival

    -Imagine Dragons was invited to perform at this festival to a crowd of over 26,000 people. I would say that that has been a great influence towards the positive side of their music. They were just a small band with humble beginnings and are now at this point playing for large crowds.

    -An earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown all occured on this day in Japan. Because his music so focuses on the pain and suffering of the world, i feel that this tragedy could have definitely influenced what he wrote.
