A multi-faceted English musician, singer, songwriter, vocal producer, and actor, Danny Worsnop is a country artist who released his debut solo LP, The Long Road Home, in 2017. 2019's Shades of Blue introduced elements of soul and blues into his already versatile repertoire.

Worsnop's passion for music set in when he was still a child: he made sounds with household objects and began to play a violin at the age of six. This led to extensive lessons, including in trumpet, and he joined his local orchestra during his school years. In his teens, he began writing singer/songwriter music, picking up both guitar and bass guitar. He joined the band Asking Alexandria, releasing Stand Up and Scream in late 2009 on Sumerian Records. The band toured the U.S., performing alongside acts such as From First to Last and Memphis May Fire. Worsnop went on to release two more albums with the band, Reckless and Relentless in 2011 and From Death to Destiny in 2013, both of which were critically and commercially successful. Worsnop parted ways with the band in 2016.

Meanwhile, Worsnop had formed the band We Are Harlot in 2011, issuing their eponymous debut through Roadrunner Records in early 2015 to huge success. He also continued with his solo endeavors, going on to write and record his first solo album with producer Jim Kaufman (Funeral for a Friend, Skindred, Helmet). Topping country streaming charts, The Long Road Home was released in February 2017 through Earache and took a more organic, Americana-influenced direction comprising blues-drenched country songs. In 2019, he issued his sophomore solo effort, the country, soul, and blues-tinged Shades of Blue. ~ Rob Wacey
