St. Croix  the largest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands - is well known for

producing countless talented roots reggae singers and musicians. But just
as the reggae world has begun to embrace artists like Midnite, Dezarie,
Bambu Station, Abja and Batch, there are many others whose talents are
legendary in the VI, but yet to be exposed to the wider world. Danny I is
one such artist whose underground following is about to break the soil with
his epic release on I Grade Records, Unchangeable (October 2007)

Danny I, born Luis Daniel Gomez, was born and raised in the La Grande
Princesse area of St. Croix, USVI. After graduating from high school in
1992, Danny I spent three years in the US military. Upon his return to St.
Croix, he began his musical odessey by teaming up with Army and Jahold to
form the band, Sacred Science. It was with these two similarly
smooth-voiced singers that Danny I recorded his first release  the
combination song ³Yesterday¹s News² on Army¹s debut album. Shortly
thereafter, Danny I released four outstanding songs on the compilation,
Eastbound Vol. II  one of which (³Soldier²) was later re-released on the
renowned compilation series, Crucial Reggae From Out of Jamaica.

With this solid foundation of tunes under his belt, Danny I released his
first album, Jah Fury, with Iyah Ites Productions in 2002. The 14 songs on
this album were heartfelt roots gems that showcased Danny I¹s mystical
songwriting that has the rare combination of depth and simplicity. Since
this debut release, Danny I has appeared on two acclaimed compilation
albums, Wake Up Call (SPM Records 2003) and Talkin Roots II (Mt. Nebo
Records 2005).

Danny I artistic mission is to ³write songs that make us look into ourselves
so that we can correct what we need to and live up.² This mission is fully
accomplished on his second release, Unchangeable. The 16 songs on this album
present a range of topics, riddims and flows, but flow together in with a
common vibration of spiritual renewal and reconciliation. With guest
appearances by Vaughn Benjamin and Niyorah and production by I Grade,
Million 7 and Dean Pond, Unchangeable is a roots masterpiece that will bring
Danny I¹s crucial messages to the world.
