Although he is still considered to be a relative newcomer to the industry, Sun City Music Festival artist Danny Avila is leading the pack of dance music’s next generation of raw talent. Whether it’s his drive or youthful spirit that breathes life into his performances, one thing’s for sure, DJ sets are what set him apart from the competition. So have you bought your tickets yet?
Hailing from Spain, Danny Avila discovered dance music on his own even though his father was and is an interior designer for many of the world’s most famous nightclubs. “I discovered my passion for music, especially electronic music, when I was 12 years old on my own. The fact that my father was designing clubs and hotels in Marbella helped me because his friends who owned the clubs let me into their DJ booth while DJ’s like Fedde Le Grand, Axwell, Erick Morillo and many more were performing. That’s how I had my first contact with big artists and I knew that I wanted to be one of them in the future.” But Danny didn’t just stumble on to music or DJing. In an early interview, he went on to say, “Actually it was not something that I just decided one day. I started DJing in Marbella when I was 12 years old so it’s always been something that I’ve loved doing from a very early age. But even before I started DJing, I played the piano when I was younger, so my life has always revolved around music in one way or another.”
Danny first came to our attention in 2011 after the release of his big-room debut single, “Breaking Your Fall” on Big Beat Records. At the ripe old age of 16, the Spanish prodigy won the ‘Best Newcomer DJ’ at the prestigious Vicious Music Awards that same year and it has been nothing but a string of successes after that. “Breaking Your Fall” led to Danny being highlighted by music industry bible, Billboard in their “21 Under 21: Ones to Watch 2012” list, as well as MTV and Dancing Astronaut’s respective ‘Ones To Watch’ lists, showing his ability to be loved by both the mainstream and underground audiences.
His list of accolades go far beyond any media generated list though. He is also the youngest artist to hold a residency in Las Vegas since the city’s founding, as well as being the youngest Covermount CD artist, the youngest prime-time DJ on US broadcasting behemoth SiriusXM, and has even played on the main stage of some of the most notable festivals all before his 18th birthday. Danny Avila’s relentless ascent into the upper echelons of the music industry continues to pick up speed. Known for his innate track selections that are exploding with energy and are brimming with creativity, his live performances are always bold, fresh, and original.
So to answer your question, Danny, yes. We are ready to jump. Come jump with us when Danny Avila takes the stage at Sun City Music Festival on August 31st and September 1st. Buy your tickets today!
