Sperry411 i wouldnt say he is super famous now. i do agree he is great and his love for the lord is amazing. My church has a big place were one of his concerts was held and i went. it was free. Lots of people were there but only like 2000 people. meeting him was a huge inseration and getting to talk to him helped.

I've recently had the opportunity to work with Danny. I've been blessed to work some legendary vocalists in my time… He is truly one of them. What's more, he is a man of character and an amazing Human Being.

[@velvetsky907]

I haven't met him unfortunately, but I could see something special in him the first time I saw him. I have seen that he has a beautiful, pure heart and really cares about people. I got this by looking into his eyes. He's a real sweetheart.

[@saraherrera522]

Keith Thomas oh wow lol he has the worst voice I’ve ever seen on American idol from his scream on cover to his milking his wife’s death for votes

[@cancandance]

I met Danny in person about a year ago. And he carried a presence of the LORD with him that was electric. I could feel the holy spirit manifesting right thru him. It was extraordinary. I think that's maybe happened once or twice in my life where I have felt God thru a person, even a brief encounter and Danny was one of them. I love you brother and I love your contribution to our kingdom family. My daughter listens to your music every day, and I don't mind it! 😂 Because I love it too. Keep writing from holy spirit and keep helping us as we grind it out here in the earth. I can't wait to meet you again and your beautiful wife that has gone on before us. God bless you again and again!!

[@candacejohnson5908]

I met him today and I could ot agree with you more! Such a kind and polite spirit. Even took a pic with me.❤ I love that we also have same name. 😊

[@ceceliarohan7604]

In Hebrew, every number has a meaning. Danny's ticket number is the number 8 which in Hebrew means "new beginnings". This is Danny's new beginning.

I lost my wife on March 25th '16 at age 36, Danny's song Tell your heart to beat again has me in tears every time I hear it. The night I found my wife not breathing and no pulse I wish i could have told her to tell her heart to beat again!

He quickly became one of my favorite artists when I started listening to His Radio. Everytime I see a new song from him I gotta hear it. I never knew his story but always felt the passion in his music. God bless him.

A real sweetheart. He inspired me to sing again!! We lost our grandson & some other things & I nearly gave up. Thank you, Danny!! So sorry about your wife!!

[@tooBlessed847]

This is refreshing that someone could be so transparent and weeping doesn't make you a less of a man because Jesus wept! And finally talent and character-awesome! We have gotten way to preconditioned to all talent, appearances and abilities in the natural almost to the exclusion of any character, integrity and principles.

[@animecentral3261]

We'll JUESEUS isn't real so actually he wasn't a real man

[@dylanc.1765]

Anime Central, I really can't recall a man named "Jueseus" in the Bible anyway- throughly unrelated to the core of the matter. Though it looks similar to the word 'Jesus' you must completely have the wrong one in mind.

[@Liger._King]

I heard Danny's "Love God Love People" and went absolutely crazy with excitement. I can't get that song off my head. Seriously, guys, Danny has so many songs that capture that part of the brain that appreciates music. For real! Who would have known what he went through to get to where he is at today? I can't even believe that he lost a wife at such a young age. My sympathy to you, my music legend. I'm a fan for life!
