Among people that know and work with him, Danny is known as a “Jack of all trades, and a master of all.”

After playing clarinet and saxophone in middle school, Danny discovered his life long passion for music as he picked up drums, vocals, guitar, and piano in high school. He’s performed countless times in competitive national jazz, percussion, concert, drum-line, and rock groups.

Similar to other instruments, Danny enjoys playing and teaching a truly wide variety of styles on keyboard. This includes the virtuosic passion of Liszt’s “Liebestraum No. 3,” the swinging funkiness of Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” clavinet, the driving organ solos in Santana’s version of “Oye Cómo Va,” the diverse masterpiece of Billy Joel’s “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant”, and many more.

Over the last few years, Danny’s particular affinity for songwriting has led him to work with some of the top producers in the music industry, including Shelly Yakus (John Lennon, U2, Tom Petty), Toby Wright (Alice In Chains, Metallica, Kiss), Ross Hogarth (Van Halen, Ziggy Marley, Motley Crüe), and Nick Didia (Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Bruce Springsteen). Shelly in particular has taken him under his wing with a determined belief in Danny’s potential to have a long-term career as a recording artist and performer. Danny’s life is dedicated to creating and performing music with great joy and impact for the audience.
