London born and bred from Syrian & Irish blood, Danny Starr has cultivated a talent for dreaming up attention-grabbing melodies and thought-provoking lyrics that are immediately identifiable as his own; blending the heartbreaking emotion of inspirations such as Amy Winehouse and Paolo Nutini with the fine storytelling of Passenger and Arctic Monkeys. In his later releases, the years of trawling through his parents’ record collection, including music from early Bowie, Michael Jackson and Funkadelic through to brit-pop icons like Oasis and Blur, moving bass lines and occasional gospel style-backed choruses are led by a consistent sonic feel of British grit and lyrics bolstered with Middle Eastern emotion.
Danny Starr isn't just creating music - he's crafting a narrative of resilience, identity, and raw emotion. With the support of BBC Introducing, 6 Music, and nods from Rolling Stone France and Mexico, Danny has captured hearts with his honest lyrics and melodic hooks. Starting his songwriting journey at just 15, with a poignant track addressing the war in Syria, Danny has evolved into an artist who fearlessly explores themes of sexuality, mental health, and the human experience. His latest singles under Revanche Records are already making waves, earning spots on Spotify's coveted playlists. Whether on stage or in the studio, Danny Starr’s music isn't just heard - it’s felt.
The attention for the records has led to a headline UK tour, several sellout London dates, and a rapidly growing list of festival and major venue support slots, with Danny’s full band live show being a highly desired booking for promoters across the country.
