The founder of Australian production company Human Productions, Danny is a directing graduate of the Sydney Film School, a recipient of the NSW Government Multi-Platform Screen Producer Scholarship - and a highly experienced Production Accountant (CPA) with years of experience on feature films, documentaries, television series and independent TV channels.

Of Ukrainian, Spanish and Venezuelan descent, Danny is also a gifted and bilingual singer working across multiple music genres. He has featured in 15 self-produced, award-winning music videos - often stepping into the director's role - filmed across the globe in Sydney, Los Angeles, Venezuela, Mexico, the Philippines, Venice and Zaragoza, Spain.

Professionally trained in opera (under Steve Ostrow, renowned for discovering and training Bette Midler, Peter Allan and Barry Manilow) and samba dancing, Danny's versatility has taken him from classical to Latin pop to reggaeton - winning him fans in both English and Spanish speaking markets. His first album, 'El Amor,' was "pure feeling in all its guises, from the delights of romance and attraction to the anguishes of love and separation, from unbridled joy to the yearning for spiritual connection and release. A broad collection of romantic ballads, Spanish classics and contemporary pop songs held together by dynamic, lush arrangements and a remarkable voice that speaks directly to the heart and soul of the listener." His next album, exploring the Urban genre, is due for release in 2020.
In addition to music, Danny is a trained actor. He graduated from the Screenwise School of Acting, under Denise Roberts, and has studied privately with Lynette Sheldon and Annie Swan.
