Biography

Dean Friedman was born on May 23, 1955 in Paramus, New Jersey, USA. He is an actor and composer, known for Boon (1986), Eerie, Indiana (1991) and Lemon (2017).

He was one of the first artists to go directly to fans using the Internet to finance his music.

[on fan-funded music] I couldn't pursue my music, touring or recording without it. As far as I'm aware, Marillion was the first band to announce such a project. But as far as I know I was the second, and probably the first solo artist. That was a good six years before Kickstarter and Indiegogo launched. I was an early adopter of the internet and it was by virtue of being able to reconnect gradually over the years with my audience that I'm able to do what I do.
