Dan Deacon (born August 28, 1981) is an American composer and electronic musician based out of Baltimore, Maryland. In addition to his albums, Deacon also has a renowned reputation for his live shows, where large scale audience participation and interaction is often a major element of the performance.

He later attended the Conservatory of Music at State University of New York at Purchase in Purchase, New York where, in addition to performing his solo material, he played in many bands, including tuba for Langhorne Slim and guitar in the improvisational grindcore band Rated R, and had a small mixed chamber ensemble. He completed his graduate studies in electro-acoustic and computer music composition. He studied under composer and conductor Joel Thome and Dary John Mizelle. In 2004 he moved to Baltimore, Maryland and moved into the Copycat Building and, along with friends from SUNY Purchase, formed Wham City, an arts and music collective.
