Daniel “Danny P” Pierre is considered to be EMI’s one of the most versatile writers. Capable of creating nearly every genre of music, his extraordinary talent was first discovered by Ron Sweeney in 1998.

Under Ron, president of Epic/Sony at the time, Danny P produced  twelve  tracks  for  a  debut album of  a female solo rapper Siamese, out of which the song Hustler  was featured in the  score of the hit movie WOO staring Jada Pinkett Smith and Tommy Davidson. Following his  successful  beginning,  Danny  P produced his version of a well-known Bob Marley hit Waiting in Vain for the Japanese group known as the Satellite Lovers (Oo Records/Sony Japan). In 1999, Danny P co-wrote and produced Patriots for Universal Records’ debut album of a hip- hop artist Canibus that eventually reached a gold status. He next worked with Canibus on rapper’s sophomore album, co-writing and producing its first single Micnificent.

Soon after, Danny P discovered and developed r&b singer Ashanti who is now a multi- platinum recording artist. He co-wrote and produced three songs for Ashanti, one of which was a duet with Danny P himself called No More Excuses.

The above accomplishments and experiences led Danny P to 2001 signing of a major publishing deal with EMI. Moreover, Danny’s determination, obvious talent and ability to not only write music and lyrics, but to sing and rap in bilingual fashion as well resulted in him signing a major record deal with RCA under Bob Jaimison and Jack Rovner. In preparation for his r&b debut, Danny P wrote and recorded all 12 of his own songs.

For the projects that followed, Danny P worked with Dante Thomas, an artist on Elektra Records, who sold more than three million records worldwide with his song Ms. California, and with Snow, co-writing and producing five songs of this dancehall/hip-hop artist’s album Two Hands Clapping. Moreover, Danny’s voice can be heard on two Danny P/Snow duets entitled respectively Lonely Song and Biological Reaction. Soon after, Danny collaborated with Rodney Jerkins, producer extraordinaire whose long list of achievements includes work with Destiny’s Child and Michael Jackson.

In 2003, Danny P got involved with two of the biggest recording artists of the British music scene. He co-wrote and co-produced Come Undone for pop/rock singer Robbie Williams, which became a number one single in eight different countries and was part of combined sales of Robbie’s three consecutive albums that exceeded 18 million. In turn, Danny P started his long-term cooperation with r&b/soul artist Joss Stone by co- developing her as a singer along with music mogul Steve Greenberg, and producing I’ve Fallen in Love for her debut album The Soul Sessions. On her second album entitled Mind, Body & Soul, Danny P co-wrote and co-produced two tracks called respectively Security and Don’t Know How. Year 2006 resulted in three more tracks on Joss Stone’s most recent LP known as Introducing Joss Stone. Danny P’s creations here include Arms of My Baby, Bad Habit and Baby, Baby, Baby, which has sold 1.4 million records worldwide to date. In addition, Danny P co-wrote Anniversary, a Joss Stone/Lemar duet published on Lemar’s album The Truth About Love, which debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 album sales in the U.K.

In between  these  different  projects,  Danny  also  worked  with  teenage  pop  sensation Aaron Carter, younger brother of a Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, which led to writing of a hit single Saturday Night that hit number 3 on Billboard Single Sales Chart and was featured in the opening scene of Aaron’s movie Pop Star.

In January 2009, Danny became president of A&R for Vertigorecords/Universal FR in Paris and worked on countless projects there. He recently wrote and produced a song with Tiffany Ciely, a new up and coming artist on the label that become the 2010 theme song for Ford Motors.
