SINGING

Singing developed naturally for Danny. He learned to train his voice over the years by recording himself singing Demos on his budget home studio. He was writing ballads and practicing singing them way before a career in acting actually took shape.

During Danny's third series of 'Where The Heart Is', he was fortunate enough to be written into the scripts in a Singing storyline with 'Maureen Lipman'. With a chance for people to finally hear what he could do he relished the opportunity.  Click here to view the clip.

After the episode's transmition Danny was blown away when the record label giant EMI rang him up offering him a recording contract!  It led to a joint venture between Granada and EMI to release an Album. The added bonus to EMI's delight was that danny could write the Songs and produce them. 'Where My Heart Is' was released on July the 18th 2005'.

Supported by a promotional campaign, his appearances included GMTV and Loose Women.

In December of 2005 Danny was invited to Sing with Elaine Paige at her Christmas concert with John Barrowman, Live at the Birmingham Symphony Hall. The concert (broadcast on BBC Radio 2) featured a Duet with Elaine, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. He also performed 'Bring Him Home', and 'I Got You Under My Skin' from his debut Album.
