Danny (138)

If there's one thing in this world that Danny knows how to do, that is standing out amongst the rest, however it is intentionally or not. And this boy makes himself noticeable in a thousand and one ways, between them, telling his own stories and using the music as his main instrument for this. And the thing is that each song takes part of the artist's life lessons, who put himself for the first time in a recording studio the day of his 16th birthday, with the only support of a young producer. And only being 16, he already had a bunch of stories to tell, and the experience of a teenage boy, who comes from an ordinary and humble family and a place where being successful is a synonym for unreachable, shows up amongst his songs ("Fall Down/Stand Up"). When being 17 and with really little economic resources, Danny had already recorded two demos and taken part of the first public casting for the Spanish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest, not very far away from the famous faces and known artists whom he couldn't snatch a secure position into the finals for the Spanish performer. And he also took part of the 2013 RTVE contest, aiming to the 10th position in the public voting between more than 200 contestants. But being an unknown artist didn't stop him from keeping on writing and composing. And the thing is that Danny doesn't really care about being part of the mob, rewriting about the same themes that appear in most songs. Danny thinks that love can be found not only between couples but in friendship and the people who make life have sense and how hard it is get over their loss ("People Always Leave"), how tough is to fight the illness of someone you love ("Blackout"), or even how not to give in in front of those assholes who want to see you fail ("Alg☮ de Mí", "The Cigarette Boy"). Art and Danny have always been part of the same being, wether it is through music, photography or drawing. That's why he involves himself in all of his projects, either writing, composing and PRODUCING & CREATING his own songs ("The Cigarette Boy", "Heroin"), designing the artwork for his music or even (co-)directing and producing his music videos.
