Born and bred in Birmingham, at the age of 7 Danny took up the double bass like his grandfather. Growing up he progressed through the Birmingham music service ensembles until he went to music college. Danny studied at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Royal Northern College of Music and the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München. For many years Danny was a member of The CBSO Youth Orchestra and then went on to join the European Union Youth Orchestra and whilst studying, he began his freelance career in orchestras all over the UK. Danny has an enduring relationship with the orchestra, from learning with Charles Wall (ex-member) and watching concerts, to going to orchestra barbecues.

Outside of classical music Danny especially enjoys playing other genres of music and tearing it up on a football pitch!
