Danny Swain (born 1983), better known by his mononymous stage name Danny! (/ˈdæniˈ/ dan-EE), is an American recording artist and record producer.

Danny! rose to prominence shortly after his debut performance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, where he premiered his debut single "Evil"; he subsequently began a side career in voice acting, narrating the fifteenth season of ESPN's Hey Rookie, Welcome To The NFL. Danny! would later make his first appearance on Sesame Street that same year.

Ebony Magazine has listed Danny! among other rising artists in its "Leaders of the New School" piece, calling Danny! one of a handful of "innovators";GQ would later reiterate the same regarding Danny!'s music production, which has since been placed in numerous television programs and radio advertisements.

Danny!, the only son of military parents, was born in Killeen, Texas and moved to Columbia, South Carolina as a teenager. He attended Richland Northeast High School and began pursuing music as a hobby during his sophomore year. Danny! would later start penning his own lyrics and eventually recorded makeshift songs primarily as a showcase for his production.
