Danyel (real name Danny Bloebaum) wrote his first song when he was 14 years old. Eight years later he won with his band - The Tuxedos - The National Belgian Rock meeting, which resulted in his first record deal.

Together with Fonny De Wulf, he had a few releases in Japan and later on he moved to writing songs for different artists. Some of his songs were sold in Japan, South Africa, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. All together, worldwide, there were about 1.000.000 c.d.'s sold with Danny's name on there as a composer/author.

Last year, Danyel wrote a song in the Antwerp dialect called 'Antwerpen - ik hou van A'. It was written for the competition 'Hymn for a city' (ode aan 't stad). He performed the song with a band called 'Cook n' I' and they were in the final, which was broadcasted on ATV.

Lately, he's been working together with Marty Townsend (ex Blue Blot guitar player and producer). Antony Masters worked along on the lyrics. You can listen to the result of their collaboration on this website. CapricornArts also wants you to enjoy the video clip, made for
'Running On Empty'.


A fortune teller stated that one day, some of Danyel's music will be recorded and performed by some major artists. CapricornArts surely hopes that this fortune teller was worth his money.
