UK Reggae Musician and Singer better knows as Danny Red Born Daniel Clarke (c. 1962) in London, he spent time as a child in Jamaica where he developed a love of Reggae. In 1980 he began working on the London-based City Dread Sound System as a Deejay, and went on to join the Fine Style Crew. He originally worked under the name Danny Dread, and released his first records and toured Europe with General Kelly under that name, but changed to Danny Red to avoid confusion with two other deejays who used that name. He began to concentrate on singing and by the early 1990s had established himself as a popular Roots Reggae singer.
