Daniel Singer (born February 20, 1971), known professionally as Danny Diablo a.k.a. Lord Ezec, is an American hardcore punk and hip hop recording artist, record producer, actor and model. He is a current member of underground hip hop acts The ShotBlockers, D.M.S. and FTW, and a founding member of hardcore bands Crown Of Thornz, Skarhead and Icepick, which gained him huge success on the New York hardcore scene.
Born in Manhattan, New York, Daniel Singer is the son of a Brooklyn-born Polish-Jewish police sergeant father and a Puerto Rican homemaker mother from the East River Houses of Spanish Harlem.
He started writing graffiti at an early age under the moniker Lord Ezec.
He was stabbed with an 8-inch screwdriver and nearly died in 1993. He was almost charged by the court because of the beating the stabber took. He spent about two months at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan.
Diablo was arrested for attempted murder in 1998 and swore to change his life with music when he was released.
Lord Ezec formed NYHC band Crown Of Thornz in 1994 with former Breakdown guitarist Mike Dijan, Dimi on drums, Steve O'Brien and Franklin Rhi on bass. In 1995, the band released their debut EP Train Yard Blues on Equal Vision Records, a dedication to Ezec's younger brother David, who had committed suicide the previous year. The following year the group released Mentally Vexed. After their hiatus from 1998 to 2013, Crown Of Thornz reunited at Ieper Fest in Belgium and This Is Hardcore in Philadelphia, and went on a North American tour with Rancid and The Transplants.
