Danny! is a former student of the Savannah College of Art & Design; he often wears an oxford shirt and pinstriped necktie, and has gained notoriety for prank-calling celebrities. In 2012 Danny! rose to prominence shortly following the proclamation by The Roots drummer Questlove that there was strong interest from JAY Z;〔 he was subsequently signed as the flagship artist to Questlove's re-launched Okayplayer Records after years of being loosely affiliated with the company. In support of the new venture Danny! made his television debut on ''Late Night With Jimmy Fallon'' in September 2012, premiering his song "Evil" alongside The Roots. Prior to this Danny! was most notable for his efficacious DIY approach to his music career, handling virtually every aspect all by himself〔—from producing beats to web design and even promotion—without the aid of a management team to varying degrees of acclaim. He would field praise for his self-released concept records ''Charm'' and ''And I Love H.E.R.'', the latter named by ABC News as one of the best 50 albums of 2008,〔 before releasing the "anti-album" ''Where Is Danny?'' in early 2011. After signing to Okayplayer Records the following year Danny! completed his trilogy of conceptual albums with ''Payback'',〔〔 cited by Allmusic as one of the best hip-hop releases of 2012. In 2013 EBONY listed Danny! among other rising artists in their "Leaders of the New School" piece, predicting that Danny! would have a "breakout year"; GQ would later reiterate the same regarding Danny!'s music production. == Early life == Danny!, the only son of military parents, moved to Columbia, South Carolina in the late 1990s. He attended Richland Northeast High School and began pursuing music as a hobby during his sophomore year.〔 Shortly after selling his first beat at age 17, Danny! began to take producing music more seriously. He started penning his own lyrics and eventually recorded makeshift songs primarily as a showcase for his production. Early Danny! songs mimicked Eminem's multi-syllabic shock lyrics;〔 Danny! has openly admitted to copying Eminem's flow early on. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Danny!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
