Since coming to New Orleans as a child, Danny always knew it was the place for him. The city lives and breathes music and Danny’s diverse musical stylings have allowed him to play with just about anyone.
Danny toured the world for 6 years and received a Grammy nomination with Tank and The Bangas. He also produces music, and his company Brown Hound Sounds won an ADDY award in 2023 for Best Music In A Commercial. Danny has performed with numerous world-renowned artists such as Big Freedia, The Revivalists, Stanton Moore, Erica Falls, NOJO (New Orleans Jazz Orchestra) Ivan Neville, LPO (Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra) and many others. He leads his own projects, where he performs clubs and festivals around New Orleans, and also headlined the Pensacola Jazzfest in 2024. Additionally, Danny performs regularly with Soul Brass Band, Pat Casey and the New Sound, and The Trumpet Mafia, amongst countless other groups. Because Danny plays styles from Funk to Straight-Ahead Jazz to Gospel and R&B, his schedule is always filled with a diverse array of work. Danny views each genre not so much as an entirely separate entity, but more as different approaches to one thing: music. It’s a language, and Danny speaks it fluently.
In 2020, Danny formed Brown Hound Sounds with keyboardist Drew Meez, and together they have scored music for commercials, TV, and video, as well as producing albums for themselves and fellow music artists.
You could say Danny keeps busy doing what he loves.
