Danny Swain, better known by his mononymous stage name Danny! (/ˈdæniˈ/, or dan-EE), is an American music composer, recording artist, singer/songwriter and voiceover talent.[1]

Danny! rose to prominence shortly after his debut performance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,[2][3] where he premiered his single "Evil"; he subsequently began a side career in voice acting, narrating the fifteenth season of ESPN's Hey Rookie, Welcome To The NFL.[4] Danny! would later make his first appearance on Sesame Street that same year.[5]

Ebony Magazine has listed Danny! among other rising artists in its "Leaders of the New School" piece, calling Danny! one of a handful of "innovators".[6] GQ would later reiterate the same[7][8] about Danny!'s music production, regarding it as "brilliantly savvy". Danny! has composed background music that has since been placed in numerous motion pictures and television programs; most notably, FOX's animated series Bob's Burgers for which Danny! was awarded an Emmy plaque[9] for his contributions to an episode that won in the Outstanding Animated Program category at the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2017.[10]

Early life

Danny!, the only son of military parents,[11] was born in Killeen, Texas and moved to Columbia, South Carolina as a teenager. He attended Richland Northeast High School and began pursuing music as a hobby during his sophomore year.[1] Danny! would later start penning his own lyrics and eventually recorded makeshift songs primarily as a showcase for his production.[12]

Career

2004–2006: Early beginnings, Charm and instrumental albums

Main articles: The College Kicked-Out, F.O.O.D. (album), and Charm (album)

After spending nearly a year networking with local artists Danny! released his debut mixtape The College Kicked-Out.[1][13] The record received mixed to unfavorable reviews—an up-and-coming Charlamagne tha God was among Kicked-Out's critics, panning the mixtape on air while working as a local radio station personality—which Danny! would allude to in much of his later work.

Shortly after Kicked-Out's release Danny! was accepted to the Savannah College of Art & Design and accordingly relocated to Savannah, Georgia.[1] It was here that he began to work on his second project, F.O.O.D.[13] The following year Danny! officially released his third mixtape Charm,[13] which was notable for featuring an underlying theme of escapism in its narrative of a musician who wants to achieve success through music and be reprieved of the day-to-day routine in his hometown. Charm went on to become Danny!'s biggest success at the time and, coincidentally, help make the entire premise of the record come true in real life.

During this time Danny! compiled an instrumental album, Dream, Interrupted, in an effort to promote his production; within two years the sequels Dream, Fulfilled and Dream, Extinguished would also be released.[13]

It's all people telling you to do this and that…[but] when you do what they say and it still doesn't work in your favor, it's like, 'well, I was fine the way I was'. You just got to keep moving. There's no guarantee for anything.


Danny!, on instinct and perseverance
(GQ, 2014)[8]

2007–2011: MTV, And I Love H.E.R. and Interscope era

See also: Danny Is Dead, And I Love H.E.R.: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, and Where Is Danny?

After Charm Danny! received his first big break when MTV played a role in securing him a recording contract with an independent music label, at the time helmed by El-P of Run the Jewels fame.[14][15] The record deal allowed Danny! to release an album through the label, promoting it with a 12" single and accompanying music video slated for an exclusive premiere on mtvU. Though the label's involvement would not amount to a released album—only the single "Just Friends", which managed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100[16]—the deal did establish an ongoing relationship between Danny! and MTV, which would begin using his music extensively in various programming for years to come.

Danny! would continue to gain acclaim, mostly on the merits of his production style, and eventually self-released his debut album, the faux-soundtrack And I Love H.E.R.[13] The album was cited at the time by publications such as Pitchfork[17], L.A. Weekly[18] and ABC News[19] as one of the best releases of the year. And I Love H.E.R. was also notable for introducing yet another musical direction for Danny!, who was experimenting with hip house, downtempo and electronica during the record's inception to produce a sort of "lounge-hop" hybrid that has since become his definitive style, though Danny!'s output would become significantly more experimental and nuanced in subsequent releases. Following And I Love H.E.R.'s success, Danny! completed the Relapse & Madvillainy-inspired Where Is Danny?.[13] Interscope Records, through its short-lived digital distribution program,[20] would quietly distribute a revamped version of the album on iTunes.[21]

2012–present: Breakthrough, music licensing and The Book of Daniel

See also: Payback (album) and The Book of Daniel (album)

After the release of his third studio LP Payback,[13] the title track of Danny!'s previous album was featured in a commercial for Sonos wireless speakers.[22] Long fascinated with music licensing Danny! subsequently signed on as a composer for MTV's internal Hype Music label[23] (later absorbed into Sony/ATV's Extreme Music production music library) and slowly transitioned into a more prominent producer role, landing instrumental placements with various Viacom television programming as well as commercials for Nordstrom,[24] McDonald's, and incidental music for Bob's Burgers[9][25] and its soundtrack, The Bob's Burgers Music Album[26].

However, GQ Magazine revealed that Danny! was indeed working on a follow-up to Payback,[8] initially titled "Deliverance" but later changed to The Book Of Daniel after the book in the Bible. During the album's development Danny! appeared in Sesame Street's "Party Bus" video,[5] which featured an original remix of "The Wheels On The Bus" composed by Swain. He also began working as a voiceover artist, narrating the entire season of Hey Rookie, Welcome To The NFL in 2016 for ESPN.[4] The following year Danny! was awarded an Emmy plaque from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for his musical contributions to the Bob's Burgers episode "Bob Actually" (Outstanding Animated Program, 2017[9][10]), having composed music for three scenes.[27]
