Danny Robert Worsnop (born 4 September 1990) is an English musician and singer-songwriter prominently known as the lead vocalist of rock bands Asking Alexandria and We Are Harlot. He has worked with several artists including I See Stars, With One Last Breath, Breathe Carolina and Memphis May Fire, providing guest vocals on several songs.
Worsnop also maintains a solo music career. He is set to release his debut solo full-length country-inspired album, The Long Road Home, in February 2017.
Danny Worsnop was born on 4 September 1990 in Beverley, England and grew up in the small village of Gilberdyke with his parents Philip and Sharon and his younger sister Kelly. Worsnop himself has stated that his love for music started when he was a toddler when he would make "beats" using empty boxes and pots, but started playing instruments at the age of 8, his first being the violin of which he bought himself and took lessons to play it, a year later learning the trumpet, and another year later he was playing at his local orchestra. Eventually he would take up guitar and bass and became more influenced by rock and metal music, and was self-taught, however at this point he initially planned to join the military in hopes of becoming a sniper, however the success of Asking Alexandria's debut album Stand Up and Scream convinced him to continue a music career.
Although Ben Bruce originally formed the band in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in 2006, after he realized that he wouldn't be able to achieve international success in Dubai, he moved to Nottingham in England in 2008 and reassembled the band with new members from the local area, including lead singer Danny Worsnop, who had moved into his flat apartment in York. He carried the name over due to not wanting to bother to come up with a brand new name, so he stuck with the old one. When asked why he chose that particular name, he explained that "'Most bands have a pretty shit band name, so I just came up with something. I came up with Alexandria as a human name, because people relate to humans," although the reason for using the word 'asking' is not explained.
