My Life Without You and I'll Be There For You are classic love stories sure to melt the hearts of all who listen.

Danny D's music has been a vital outlet for his personal expression since age seven, when he started showing signs of Tourette's syndrome, but unbeknownst of the actual affliction until diagnosed at the age of 21. Danny D's singing and performing became more important when he noticed how his symptoms seemed to disappear. He became determined to be successful and to become the best musician he could be by taking piano and vocal lessons, music theory, and writing and recording his own songs. Danny explains his reason for getting into music professionally, "My goal is to inspire people, to be a motivator and encourage people, young and old—to go for their dreams, regardless of any obstacle."
