"Dany truly surprised me. He turned that masterpiece (Bohemian Rhapsody) into his own masterpiece. He dared to embrace the silence instead of the bombastic"

- Rene Froger

"Your voice is like butter. I honestly think you could sing a phone book. Everything in it. It doesn't matter. It's just good. It is beautiful. Simply fantastic"

DANY is a Dutch singer-songwriter and vocal coach whose voice blends emotional depth with technical mastery.

As winner of The Voice of Holland in 2021, DANY became known for his ability to move audiences with intimate storytelling and powerful live performances. His music combines contemporary pop with subtle world influences, creating songs that are not only heard but felt.

In 2026, DANY returned to national television in the SBS6 primetime show The Winner Takes It All, introducing his evolved artistry to a new generation of viewers. His performances once again demonstrate what defines him as an artist: vulnerability, control, and the courage to interpret songs in a way that feels deeply personal.

DANY’s journey has been marked by growth; both artistic and human. Experiences of loss, resilience, and self-reflection have shaped his sound into something authentic and mature. Dany's emotive voice and storytelling invites listeners to connect deeply with their own experiences.

Whether on a television stage, in an intimate theatre setting, or through his studio recordings, DANY delivers performances that connect beyond the surface.

"2.1 million viewers watched last night as DANY (Dani van Velthoven) from Purmerend won the eleventh season of The Voice of Holland. The boundary-free, dreamy singer with a knack for languages left competitors behind in the dramatic finale."

"I felt it in my body immediately. That doesn't happen very often."
