The man behind Danny Darko is the composer/producer Danny Cannizzaro. Born 1979, Danny got his first vinyl record deal when he was 18 years old. He was producer of a few dance hits of the 2000s, including Starchaser " love will set you free/jambe myth " (reached n.24 in the UK POP Singles Chart).
Danny is a very ecleptical producer: from house to electro, progressive, trance, commercial, he tried almost every electronic music genre (including breakbeat). There is no surprise that his songs have been supported by top djs alike Pete Tong, Dj Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Judge Jules, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold and many more.
This is why Danny uses different names according to the style produced. He uses Danny Darko for progressive/melodic electro house, Starchaser for mainstream house, and Danny Cannizzaro for funky, house, tribal and anything groovy. He recently started with his buddies Lewis & Much the project "Dark Society" to explore the "darkest" side of house music.
AN ENVIROMENTALLY COMMITTED PRODUCER
Danny is known for his environmental beliefs; releases such as "Save the whales" , "We need to wake up!" or "Go Solar!" - just to name a few - testify his love for nature and his try to awake young people consciouness. But let's Danny speaks...
"I think an artist has the opportunity to speak out to people, because Music is first of all of communication. Dance music producers have the great opportunity to speak to young generations. This is why I often use music to try to increase people awareness on certain environmental themes and sometimes link my releases to green initiatives. In 2007 through an initiative connected to the single "We need to wake up!" we planted a thousand trees in the wasted lands of Haiti. In 2008, the anthem "Save The Whales" - supported by top djs alike Dj Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren - was a message against industrial mass whaling which is putting whales on the verge of extinction. "Go Solar!" was a sort of invitation to shift to clean (solar) energy. This is the way i like to work."View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
