Dan Singer (born December 20, 1971), known professionally as Danny Diablo a.k.a. Lord Ezec, is an American hardcore punk and hip hop recording artist, record producer, graffiti painter, actor and model. He is a current member of underground hip hop acts The ShotBlockers, D.M.S. and FTW, and a founding member of hardcore bands Crown Of Thornz, Skarhead and Icepick, which gain him a huge success on NYHC scene.
Born in Manhattan, New York, Daniel Singer is the son of a Brooklyn-born Polish-Jewish police sergeant father and a Puerto Rican homemaker mother from the East River Houses of Spanish Harlem.
Dan started writing graffiti at an early age under his Lord Ezec moniker.
He was stabbed with an 8-inch screwdriver and almost died in 1993. He was almost charged by the court because of the beating the stabber took. He spent almost two months at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan.
Diablo was arrested for attempted murder in 1998 and swore to change his life with music when he was released.
Lord Ezec formed NYHC band Crown Of Thornz in 1994 with former Breakdown guitarist Mike Dijan, Dimi on drums, Steve O'Brien and Franklin Rhi on bass. In 1995, the band released their debut EP "Train Yard Blues" on Equal Vision Records, a dedication to Danny’s younger brother David who committed suicide the year prior. The following year the group released "Mentally Vexed". After their hiatus from 1998 to 2013, Crown Of Thornz reunited at Ieper Fest in Belgium and This Is Hardcore in Philadelphia, and went on North America tour with Rancid and The Transplants.
