Danny has been writing and performing since the 1980's, originally for NYC area band Chappaquiddick +5 which played CBGB's and opened for some well known punk acts of the day. During college Danny began playing solo shows, gigging around Ann Arbor and opening for Soul Asylum in Detroit.
Back in NYC in the 90's, Danny started power pop band the Sky Violets, while also playing guitar and singing backup for Zane Campbell, nephew of country music legend Ola Belle Reed.
After moving to San Francisco, Danny continued playing solo acoustic shows and wrote songs and recorded with Jon Wilkins of the Postmarks.
In 2004 Danny's song "Maybe You're Gone," as covered by former Maverick artist Binocular, appeared as main end credit song of "The Girl Next Door" starring Emile Hirsch, Elisha Cuthbert and Paul Dano.
