Daniel O’Connor (born December 2, 1968), best known as Danny Boy O’Connor, is an American rapper and a member of the hip hop group, House of Pain. Danny Boy moved to California in the 1980s where he masterminded House of Pain, one of the first all white hip-hop groups. While attending William Howard Taft High School in Woodland Hills, California (1984–1986), he met Erik Schrody and asked him to join his now legendary hip-hop group. While in House of Pain, Danny Boy acted as the hype man, second emcee on stage, and the graphic artist of the group. After House of Pain disbanded Danny Boy continued to work on other projects such as his group Xsupermodels, freelance logo designing, street wear, and sneakers. He is also the executive producer of the documentary film, Just For Kicks (2005). Danny Boy is currently involved in the hip hop supergroup La Coka Nostra and The Delta Bravo Urban Exploration Team.
Since House of Pain's split in 1996, Danny Boy has not been very active in the public. His musical project A.T.F. (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms) broke up before their first release, and the short lived group XSupermodels (XSM) only saw a promotional.
He is the featured rapper in Powerman 5000's remake of the Frankie Goes To Hollywood classic and cover, "Relax", on the Zoolander soundtrack.
