Born in Jamaica, singer songwriter producer Dan-I grew up in London in the 1960's on a diet of Rock, Ska, Reggae, Blues, and Soul, and was frontman and singer with various Funk and Reggae bands in the 70's. His first single, Monkey Chop (1979 Island Records) was a hit worldwide. Entering the British Top 10 Hit Parade, it stayed on the charts for 9 weeks, and was number 8 in the British Disco Charts. At the same time, Monkey Chop was the best selling record in New Zealand, number 4 nationally in Italy, number 1 in Milan, Italy, Top 20 in Sweden, and The Club Top 13 in Switzerland and Denmark. Also a great reception in West Africa, although officially unreleased there.
Dan-I sadly died of unspecified causes on 19th May 2006.
