Dan Cuccia (born c. 1981), better known by his stage names Dan Ocean and Black Ceiling (stylized as Blvck Ceiling), is an American electronic musician from Spokane, Washington.[1][2][3]
Early life
Cuccia grew up in Colfax, Washington.[1] When he was fifteen, his older brother gave him an Alesis SR-16 drum machine and a Tascam 4-track recorder, and he began experimenting with music, creating beats with his friends and writing rap lyrics to accompany them.[1] He eventually relocated to Spokane and studied audio engineering at Spokane Falls Community College.[1]
Music career
While at Spokane Falls Community College, Cuccia met another aspiring musician, Jaeman.[1] The pair went on to form a project, Beathouse, which produced backing tracks for local emcees.[1]
He released his first album, Call Me Later, under the name Dan Ocean in December 2010.[1][2] This was followed by a string of three albums as Black Ceiling in 2011: Black Ceiling, Max Beta, and II (which was released on Aural Sects).[2][4] In 2012, he released the albums B/\STI/\N (I Had An Accident Records),[5] Triangle (self-released),[6] D V S T (Phantasma Disques),[7] Shvdow (I Had An Accident Records),[8] †eenwvff (self-released),[9] and Let Us Fall (Phantasma Disques).[10] In 2013, he released the albums Void (I Had An Accident Records),[11] Forever Dawn (Phantasma Disques),[12] Neon Columbia (Phantasma Disques),[13] V/H/S (P∆LYC∆FF∆N).[14] and Call ME Contra (P∆LYC∆FF∆N).[15] In 2014, he released only one album, Meridian (self-released),[16] which was followed by two albums in 2015, Beaches (Phantasma Disques)[17] and The Lost IIII (P∆LYC∆FF∆N).[18]
Regarding his prolific output, Cuccia has said, "I can't stop [making music]. It's my therapy. I am probably one of the very few artists who listen to their own music. I have made — and will always make — music for myself. It just happens that some people are into what I make."[2]
