About Me

!!
..I was born in Brasil , Natal, the 1st of May 1977; of a Spanish mother and Brasilian father. After various life experiences I came to europe as a kid and lived in France until the age of 11. It was already my big dream to be a rock singer since I heard Elvis for the 1st time when my sister gave me a tape of him. I started playing guitar on my own at the age of 11 , when I arrived in Spain (Barcelona). The year after I started a band with some guys from the ghetto I was living in. It was real fun , even if we were not great musicians we were just friends playing together. At the age of 15 I went to the Costa Brava to live and I started a band in Barcelona with Victor who was playing drums, Joan on guitar & Xavi on the bass. We formed “The Griffters” a hard rock band with an American style .In ’93 we recorded our 1st demo with 6 songs on a 4 track recorder . After that record the band split up . In ’94 I tried to form a new band “Paranoia” but we didn..t go too far. I started to compose my own songs like “running away” and “ there..s some magic” and I called some friends to go into the studio to record 2 songs: “the light of my life” & “tv scream”. That recording was the best I had done until that date . After that I left Spain and went to Switzerland to study in a school in ’96. I met some guys who had a progressive metal band and they needed a singer , so I did the try-out and it worked; i was the new singer for MT20, just singing without the guitar , so I could concentrate more on my voice. We did some gigs in Switzerland and France and also a demo with 3 long songs. I stopped school and had to come back to Spain because the state didn..t allow me to stay in Switzerland due to the laws of the country. Coming back to Spain in ’98 i stopped playing in bands , and started playing alone with my guitar in hotels , pubs , restaurants , parties , playing all different kinds of music , besides I did some projects and recordings with guitar players from Germany and Spain like Guido Neuhoff , André Krengel , Steve Keller , Joan Casanovas ( Ex-Griffters ).I always wanted to play rock but I needed to live , so I had to play any kind of music , cos rock has never been big in Spain , most of the rock comes from England , Germany , USA. I was running out of time , like a fool looking for gigs everywhere doing cover songs from Eric Clapton , Deep ,Purple , Stevie Wonder , Lionel Richie , Roy Orbison , Eagles, George Benson , Sting , and a lot more . It worked very well , until the law stopped the musicians playing in the Costa Brava. Police were always controlling and it was quite impossible to play everywhere as before. So I took the decision to move to the States and try my chances out there. Because if you can..t fight for what you dream here , there must be a place in the world where you can do it , and that place can be America .Since 2003 Danny is living in U.S.A and recorded an album with the band 7 Months that should be released anytime soon www.7months.com.
