He was raised in a Christian home full of songs (and five sisters). Growing up in the birthplace of reggae, Ras Danny was in constant contact with the great influential forces of reggae and cites Bob Marley as well as Nat King Cole as most inspirational. His spiritual and unique approach to music is uplifting and educational, blending classic roots rhythms with conscious, positive lyrics.

The next year his wife and mother joined us, and it's been going on ever since."
The list of performers Ras Danny has shared the stage with is a who's who in reggae including Yami Bolo, Justin Hinds, Ken Booth, Morgan Heritage, Meditations, Michael Rose, The Itals, Israel Vibration, Wailing Souls and Culture.
