Danny Robas (Hebrew: דני רובס; born December 24, 1957) is an Israeli pop-rock singer and songwriter.
Daniel (Danny) Robas was born in 1957 in a Kibutz named Shoval, and grew up in Rehovot. He completed his military service in the artillery corps at the rank of a lieutenant.
Robas began his musical career as a guitarist, working with singers such as Arik Sinai, Matti Caspi, and Shlomo Artzi. Initially, he wrote songs for other artists - Arik Sinai, Ilanit, Nurit Galron, the musical band Sexta, Vardina Cohen, Harela Ber, Ofira Yosefi, Esti Katz, Pnina Rosenblum and others.
Misgarot (Frames), Robas' debut album in 1983, was arranged and produced by Matti Caspi. All the songs on the album were written and composed by Robas. The Album sold poorly at first, but reached Gold Record after 25 years, following the success of Robas' next Albums. The successful songs of this album are Ani Ba Habaita MeHaLayla (I'm Coming Home from the Night) and Davar Lo Kara (Nothing Happened).
During the 1980s, Robas took part in the radio program Ma Yesh? (What's the Matter?) by Erez Tal and Avri Gilad, playing the part of Jimmy Ohana - a singer singing humorous parodies on well-known Israeli songs (Robas also later appeared in Tal and gilad's TV show HaOlam HaErev (The World Tonight), as well as in the Israeli Educational TV programs Zehu Ze (That's It) and Roim 6/6 (Eyesight 20/20)). Also during the 1980s his younger brother, Yoav, died of cancer during the Lebanon War, while a soldier, and was the subject of Robas' songs Makhar Hu Yakhazor (Tomorrow He Returns) and Mikhtav Katan (A Small Letter). Initially it was difficult for Robas to sing these songs himself, and they were performed by a military band.
