Daniel Balderrama Espinoza (born March 12, 2004), better known by his stage name DannyLux, is an American singer-songwriter. He is well known for his hit song with Eslabón Armado called "Jugaste y Sufrí” which introduced him to the music industry, becoming one of the biggest new names in the regional Mexican genre.

Early life

Balderrama was born in Palm Springs, California, into a family of Mexican immigrants. As the youngest of three brothers, he grew up in an environment influenced by his heritage and musical upbringing. At the age of six, Balderrama's father, employed as a waste collector, stumbled upon a discarded guitar and brought it home. A year later, Balderrama's mother, a church secretary, urged her son to join the church choir, providing him with a platform to develop his vocal and guitar skills.

During his studies, he started practicing soccer, where he came up with a nickname for himself, “Danny luxury.” He would later revise this name to DannyLux, which he would use as his stage name. He was very fond of sports, but felt unhappy due to having bad grades at school and was eventually kicked off the soccer team. It was during this time, Danny remembered his guitar and immersed himself into playing.

Career

When he was 16 years old in mid-2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he started posting covers on TikTok which gained millions of views. After making covers of songs for a while, he was inspired to write and share his first original songs. From the songs, he would upload them as videos that would gain him more views. After covering "Dame Tu Calor" by Eslabón Armado, band leader Pedro Tovar took notice and shortly after, the two started conversing. After recognizing Danny's abilities, Tovar asked Danny to collaborate as a lyricist on the album "Corta Venas". Embracing the opportunity, he accepted and soon after went on to record the track "Jugaste y Sufrí" alongside Eslabón Armado. Following the song's release, a music video was made which has over 230 million views as of February 2024. In mid-2020, Balderrama signed a contract with VPS Music. Later in 2022, he would also be signed by Warner Music Latina.

On January 15, 2021, he released his first album, Las Dos Caras del Amor. He was accompanied on bass by his cousin Eddy and on guitar by one of his best friends, Victor Ramos. On April 29, he released the EP "Love </3," featuring popular tracks such as "Mi Otra Mitad" and "Tristeza y Traición." On October 2, 2021, DannyLux hit No. 1 on the Billboard Songwriters & Producers chart, staying there for three consecutive weeks.

On January 28, 2022, he released the EP “Perdido en Ti”, which ranked first among Apple Music's Latin albums. He competed in the eighth edition of the Latin American Music Awards of 2023 for best collaboration in "Jugaste y Sufrí". In April 2022, DannyLux was the official opening act for Coldplay, opening for eight shows in Mexico. In July, he collaborated with Mexican-American artist Cuco on the song "Decir Adios" from the album "Fantasy Gateway". On September 2, he released another EP, entitled "Limerencia", with the most-played track being “Junto a Ti".

In April 2023, DannyLux performed at Coachella 2023. On June 20, 2023, DannyLux received the city keys of his hometown. Shortly after, on June 29, he released the single "Zafiro" featuring guitarist Pablo Hurtado, which became the fifth track of his new album. On August 9, Balderrama collaborated with Cuban singer Ovi and Colombian singer Blessd, in the creation of the song "Mientras no Vuelves."

Danny then released another album titled "DLUX" a few days later, consisting of seventeen tracks and featuring various other collaborations. Among these collaborations, track 2, "Dime que hay de hacer," features Mexican singer Gabito Ballesteros, while track 6, "Me cambiaste," features Eslabón Armado. Track 8, "Alguién más," features Argentine singer Yami Safdie, and on track 10, "La lluvia," Balderrama collabrates with American singer Jordyn Shellhart. On track 13, Dominican-American singer Melvin War joins him on "Creo Q Dios." Balderrama reconnects with Cuco for an extended version of their previous collaboration, now titled "Decir Adios Oye Narrador," on a subsequent track. Lastly, he features Venezuelan-born American singer Maye on the track named "Mi hogar."

On September 5, Danny released “Bórrame”, a collaboration with Mexican singer Kurt. Continuing with new releases, on September 21, he released "Sustancias en Mi Corazón" with Chilean singer Strangehuman. On September 28, his collaboration with Becky G was released, on her album “Esquinas.” On October 10, Danny announced a tour across 11 cities in the East Cost and Midwest of the US, with the name "Ambición Tour".
