DJing
Danny auditioned in 2002 to a new boy band 'V' which he mistaken to be a pop punk band but it was actually a all dancing and all singing boy band. This is where he met Tom Fletcher for the first time who was helping out the record company film the auditions. Tom like Danny's style and asked if he would write with him and James Bourne(from Busted) if he would write with them, he accepted. After that writing project for Busted finished, Tom and Danny carried on writing together for their own band. He had to move away from Bolton and moved in with Tom for a bit and they both moved in InterContinental Hotel -for two months- so they could concentrate on writing. From there on, they held auditions where they recruited Harry and Dougie.

Sometimes Danny would write with Tom and Dougie or by himself.. He has produced several tracks of Mcfly and countless demos with band mate Tom Fletcher.
