Dannydangerously
Dannydangerously is singer/songwriter Daniel Martins. Like all good stage names this was bestowed on him sometime in late 90s when he was doing open mics and hosts started introducing him as Dangerous Dan or DannyDangerous, because nobody knew what he was going to do next. Dan's had many highs and lows over the years and is not desperate to prove anything any more. Dan is a great performer and his music speaks for itself. The music he recorded 20 years ago could still come out today and sound as fresh. From thought provoking hip hop to full-on Oi punk to electronic, experimental, to grunge to soul and rock, Dan's had a dabbled in all of it. He recently won Horsham battle of the bands three years in a row in three different categories: originals, covers, and acoustic. He is looking forward to performing at Reigate summer festival with his son Ayden on keys and beats.
