Daniel Clarke (born c.1962), better known as Danny Red, is a British reggae musician. ==Biography== Born in London, Clarke spent time as a child in Jamaica where he developed a love of reggae.〔Larkin, Colin (1998) ''The Virgin Encyclopedia of Reggae'', Virgin Books, ISBN 0-7535-0242-9, p. 245〕 In 1980 he began working on the London-based City Dread sound system as a deejay, and went on to join the Fine Style Crew.〔 Clarke originally worked under the name Danny Dread, and released his first records and toured Europe with General Kelly under that name, but changed to Danny Red to avoid confusion with two other deejays who used that name.〔〔Room, Adrian (2010) ''Dictionary of Pseudonyms'', McFarland & Co. Inc., ISBN 978-0786443734, p. 400〕 He began to concentrate on singing and by the early 1990s had established himself as a popular roots reggae singer.〔 Continuing success and the ''I Don't Care'' album, recorded with Nick Mannasseh, led to a contract with Columbia Records in 1993, Red becoming the first roots reggae artist signed by the label in over a decade.〔Kwaku (1995) "(U.K. Artists Find Eager Majors, Buying Public )", ''Billboard'', 8 July 1995, p. 1, 93, retrieved 21 October 2012〕〔Barrow, Steve & Dalton, Peter (2004) ''The Rough Guide to Reggae, 3rd edn.'', Rough Guides, ISBN 1-84353-329-4, p. 413〕Columbia issued the ''Riddimwize'' album in 1994.〔 The album included a track recorder Sly & Robbie, "Rolling Stone", which was a minor crossover hit.〔 In 1995 he was voted top Roots and Culture Artist by the British Reggae Industry, and supported Lucky Dube in UK shows.〔Kwaku (1995) "(Global Music Pulse )", ''Billboard'', 10 June 1995, p. 51, retrieved 21 October 2012〕 More recently he has worked with Gussie P and Mafia & Fluxy.
