House music producer from Chicago.
When he was 14 his older cousins were singing for Roy Davis Jnr. They put together a demo and Danell went to the studio to meet Roy and DJ Pierre who wanted him to play keyboards for them. They were impressed with his skill and Pierre flew him to New York to make some tracks with him. He was still in school however, so he spend 3 years flying back and forth. He eventually moved to New York aged 17 where he moved in with Pierre and his wife Lavette.
