Daniel Jefferson currently known as Danny Boy is a hip hop American rapper born in Shreveport, Louisiana. He was formerly known as " D-Boy" in his early rap. As an infant his family relocated to Dallas, Texas (200 plus miles west of Shreveport). He would travel back and forth between the two cities staying in close touch with his Louisiana roots. With his mother being the lead in the church choir and his father the drummer of a local band from Shreveport, “Tha Boot” is where it all began. His image of rocking the stage came from his father’s band performing in the garage of his Cedar Grove residence. Danny Boy describes his childhood as "confusing". Raised by a single mother of three, he quit school and turned to the streets at an early age. In search for a father figure, as referred to on the streets, D-Boy began a journey into the street life that would make an impression on his life forever. He makes innumerable references in his music to his previous occupation as a street hustler. According to his lyrics, he has had a few run-ins with the authorities. There is no doubt that D-Boy aka Danny Boy was involved at least to some degree in the illegal cocaine trade. D-Boy was indicted on drug charges in January 2000 and was sentenced to 10 yrs in the Texas Department of Corrections, which he served 3 yrs and was granted parole. This was the beginning of Danny Boy. Danny Boy possesses the talent and musical passion to turn heads in the entertainment industry with his soulful & entertaining style, dedication & commitment, and his street credibility, he is definitely a piece of art! Since being release from the judicial system in 2003 he begin recording mix tapes for independent production labels which received very little recognition due to poor promotion. Dealing with the ends and outs of the music industry Danny Boy searched for knowledge of the entertainment business by hanging with known artist(s) and promoters around Dallas. In reference to some of his lyrics, Danny Boy began to associate his past street hustler career with his now upcoming entertainment career. Networking & collaborating with such artist like Young Bleed, T-Cash, Pooca Leroy, Treal Lee, Fat Bastard, Big Tuck, Mr. Pookie, C-Pone, and Pac Man (formerly TrapStarz Clik), he developed his own gusty and unique style of delivering his life over music.
