Danny grew up in a suburbia town, just outside the Denver metro area. He started playing piano at age 9.
He took lessons for a few years, only to find that the classical world wasn't 'it' for him. He soon became infatuated with the sounds of the early rock and roll sounds of the 1950's/60's. Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard showed him that the piano can be more than just a preppy discipline. His taste evolved to boogie-woogie, and soon jazz.
Danny started playing professionally at 14 years old. He's played several jazz venues and has formed multiple jazz combos over the years.
When COVID shut the world down, Danny found himself in a rut. He wasn't playing at the level of jazz he wanted, and was in need of inspiration. That's when Billy Joel came into his life. This inspired him to start writing his own music.
Danny wrote about his own experiences in his life. Falling in love, falling out of love, issues with self-identity, substance abuse, hating corporate America and being broke, the list goes on and on.
Danny started singing at this time, and not long after formed his first rock-type band.
His debut album, "Matter of Time" is a culmination of his life experiences as a young man. He sings about love, heartache, and all the in-betweens.
Danny hopes his experiences can resonate with everyone who listens.
