With strong roots in gospel music, this Chicago native has been involved with music since he was a young child. Born into a family of musically talented people, he grew up listening to the classics of jazz, gospel and R&B.

It was the hit, soulful, anthem, “I Ain't Mad At Cha”, featured on Tupac’s multi-platinum album, “All Eyez On Me” in 1996, that made Danny's voice resonate in the hearts and souls of both young and old, WORLDWIDE! This heartfelt song received enormous acclaim & airplay on both Urban & Top 40 radio stations that continues to this day.
