About

With nominations for three Juno Awards, The Polaris Prize, The CBC’s “Heart of Gold” and a pile of albums under his belt, Danny Michel is unquestionably one of Canada’s finest songwriters. His thoughtful lyrics and earnest performances have earned him a devoted fan base. He is a musical chameleon, able to slip into many genres with ease. “an adventurous & fearless artist.” “A master at striking the right balance between unpredictability and meeting expectations, leaving you wanting more as soon as it’s over”.  Past critics have praised Danny’s lyrics for having “something to say” without coming off preachy.
Danny Michel’s latest release Matadora tempers the tropical escapism of the Juno-nominated Black Birds Are Dancing Over Me with a dose of harsher realities – breaking news, loneliness, laundry – all delivered tenderly with Michel’s signature empathy. In place of Black Birds’ balmy clime, the warmth of Matadora comes from within, as materially present as breath that condenses on a window.
