Dani Filth (born Daniel Lloyd Davey) is the lyricist, vocalist and founding member of the metal band Cradle of Filth.
Daniel Lloyd Davey was born to Susan Janet Moore and Lawrence John Davey in Hertford and is the oldest child of four. He has two sisters, Amanda (b. 1975) and Rachel (b. 1978), and a brother, Philip (b. 1981).
He married his wife Toni on 31 October 2005, in Ipswich. The two have a daughter, Luna Scarlett (b. 8 February 1999).
Dani Filth's present and primary band is Cradle of Filth. He also has been lending his voice to the band Devilment, a side project that has taken off into a full-time job in between Cradle records. His earliest bands were Carnival Fruitcake, The Lemon Grove Kids, PDA and Feast on Excrement. He named Judas Priest, Venom, Emperor, Destruction, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Sabbat, Misfits, Paradise Lost and Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas among his major influences. At the age of eighteen, Filth took up a job at a Chinese restaurant. He later chose his career in music over an internship at a newspaper, although his "Dani's Inferno" column ran for two years in Metal Hammer during the late 1990s.
He has co-written and released The Gospel of Filth with Gavin Baddeley. The book, which Filth describes as an "occult study," features contributions from Clive Barker, Christopher Lee and Ingrid Pierson. He had been accused many times of being a Satanist, but has denounced such rumours, claiming instead to being "more of a Luciferian."
