Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on July 11, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Dan Grech-Marguerat! The master behind the mixer who somehow makes indie rockers, synth pop bands and soulful crooners all sound effortlessly cool. You've fine-tuned music magic, making tunes for The Kooks that linger like catchy earworms and polishing Keane tracks with more emotional shine than a rain-soaked British afternoon.

Your genius at mixing gave us undeniable hits from Scissor Sisters to Howling Bells—surely that deserves some sort of glitter-coated trophy or perhaps a lifetime supply of coffee? May your birthday celebrations hit all the right notes; here’s hoping this year brings even more epic collaborations (and fewer late-night studio disasters!).
