Danny is a 39 year old veteran of the Montreal music scene. He first started 27 years ago at the young age of 12. Through his years of High School, he played in various places including church fairs, variety shows, and even a couple of clubs. After completing High School, he decided to study music at the college level. There he spent three years as a student of Robert Slapcoff, who is a percussionist for the M.S.O., and with Nassier Abdul Khabard, who played with Dizzy Gillespie. His past original bands (Ecclestone and Veronica Speedwell) has gained him the experience of releasing a few full length CD's, which got airplay on local radio stations CHOM FM and K103. These bands also got exposure opening up for some major international acts like : Mike Tramp (ex-singer / White Lion), Nazareth, April Wine, Steppenwolf, Sloan and have played with YES at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto. In 2006, Dan left for 2 months to play in Casablanca, Morocco at the famous Armstrong club with his cover band Matador. Playing 6 nights a week and spending his days on the coast of Africa was a great experience for him. He's since returned to Morocco to play in both Agadir at the Sofitel, a 5 star luxury hotel, and Marrakech for the International Film Festival. Dan currently runs his own music production studio where he's recorded and produced some records and demos for various artists from Canada and the U.S. He also works in other multimedia aspects like web design, video production and sound design. Along with all of this, Dan is also part of Floyd Story Productions Inc. The company was created along with partners Chris Dezordo (Eclipse) and Sylvain Pelletier (Cirque du Soleil and Celine in Vegas) to produce ... Eclipse - The PINK FLOYD Story. A full out multimedia production with videos, moving lights and lasers. A sound and visual experience. Aside form being the drummer in this project, Dan is also responsible for all the video editing and creation, sound sampling and sequencing, visual consultant and all graphic work relating to promotion and website. Aside from the drums, Danny also plays the guitar, bass, piano / keys and anything he can get his hands on!! His musical influences are a wide range from all classic rock bands, funk / dance bands, heavy music to jazz. With this knowledge, Dan likes to think of himself as a well rounded musician and not "just another drummer".
