ALL ABOUT DANA
Dana P. Rowe is a PANA Narrator of Distinction finalist, seasoned performer, executive coach, and storyteller who brings decades of experience to his audiobook work.
He composed for the West End—earning two Olivier Award nominations—and Off-Broadway, and now specializes in narrating nonfiction, mystery, personal development, comedy, LGBTQ+ stories, and works exploring creativity, identity, and transformation.
Dubbed the “Master of Compassion and Connoisseur of Snark” by an Audible five-star reviewer, Dana is known for warmth, timing, and the occasional sharp wink. He brings emotional authenticity to every character and narrative arc, and he is not afraid of the complex, messy human truths at the heart of great storytelling.
When he’s not behind the mic or writing his own books, he’s crafting chocolate-and-peanut-butter creations—or bragging about his granddaughter, a pro wrestler in the NWA.
Affiliations include: SAG-AFTRA, AEA, APA, PANA, ASCAP
