“I was a bit nervous but we’re going to give it our all,” singer-songwriter DannyLux said at the beginning of his showcase, presented by Warner Music Latina, on Wednesday (Oct. 4) during the Billboard Latin Music Week 2023.
The Mexican-American artist delivered an eclectic set at the Faena Theater for Latin Music Week attendees as day three of the conference wrapped. Wearing a Selección Mexicana jersey and with his guitar in hand, DannyLux serenaded those in attendance with his sad sierreño anthems such as “Jugaste Y Sufrí,” “Junto A Ti” and “No Te Quiero Perder.” He was also joined by emerging artist StrangeHuman to perform their collab “Sustancias En Mi Corazón” for the first time together on stage.
“It’s crazy what’s been happening to us, we’ve dreamed of doing this since we were kids,” said DannyLux — who performed at Coachella earlier this year. “Thank you for all the support you give us. I’m so happy that you have accepted my songs. I don’t know how to express myself pero la neta gracias.”
He also shared his backstory to those who were just discovering his music, explaining that he did not come from a family of musicians. “My dad was a garbage truck driver and one time he found a guitar and brought it home,” he said.
Earlier this year, a billboard in the Coachella valley went viral ahead of DannyLux’s debut at the festival. It read a special message from his father to Danny: “My last time at Coachella I was picking up the trash. Now I’m back to see my son perform this Friday. Te amo DannyLux, Tu Papá.”
