Leigh Daniel "Dan" Avidan (born March 14, 1979), also known by his stage name Danny Sexbang, is an American musician, Internet personality, singer-songwriter, and comedian. He is one half of the musical comedy duo Ninja Sex Party with Brian Wecht, as well as the co-host of the Let's Play webseries Game Grumps with Arin Hanson. He is also part of the video game-based comedy music group Starbomb, alongside both Wecht and Hanson.
Avidan was born and raised in Springfield, New Jersey, the oldest of two children of Debra Schwartz and Avigdor Avidan. His father was born and raised in Israel, and served in the Yom Kippur War before immigrating to America where he met Avidan's mother. His younger sister, Dana Avidan, is a bench jeweler, and the executive style correspondent of InStyle magazine. His grandfather Bernard Schwartz helped invent the body electrode.
After graduating from Jonathan Dayton High School in 1997, Avidan pursued advertising at Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts. After dropping out due to disinterest in the course, Avidan entered a student exchange program, attending a Tufts University satellite campus in France to study botany in the French Alps.
