Danny Boy was signed by the infamous 1990s Death Row label, run by Suge Knight, when he was only a teenager. His first single, "Slip N Slide," was released in 1994, with Ginuwine singing the chorus, and 2Pac and Snoop Dogg in the video. Danny Boy would go on to sing vocals on 2Pac songs like "I Ain't Mad at Cha" and "Heaven Ain't Hard 2 Find."

The singer still performs and recently posted himself writing inspirational lyrics.
