With a background in classical music and a love for the cinematic, Danny Gray creates instrumental music based upon haunting themes, vivid imagery, and the fusion of musical styles.  

He has composed music for a number of short film and television projects, most recently "On the Rocks" (2010), "By the Riverside" (2009), and the theme music to the College Football Performance Awards (2010).

Outside of film, his compositions span various genres, including instrumental and vocal concert works, contemporary rock/jazz songs, and musical theatre.  Danny's debut instrumental album, "Erubescent Night", was released in November 2009, and is available in major online music stores including iTunes and CDBaby.  Prior to this, he composed music for the Illuminations Dance Company's original production, "Stories and Snapshots", which premiered in NYC in October 2009.  Other original works have been premiered in numerous venues and media throughout the New York City region.  In April 2007, he was featured on the WQXR (New York Times Classical Station) Young Artists Showcase; he has also contributed music to student films from NYU and the School of Visual Arts.

As a pianist, Danny has experience as a pit musician for over twenty productions with community, college, and high school theater groups throughout the Westchester and New York City area, also acting frequently as musical director/conductor, and composer of incidental music. In August 2006, he was pianist and musical director for the Circle of Friends Benefit Concert at Symphony Space in NYC, working alongside an ensemble of veteran Broadway actors, dancers, and composers.

Danny holds a B.M. in Composition from the Purchase College Conservatory of Music (State University of New York). He has taken graduate classes in film and multimedia scoring at New York University and the University of Southern California.

He is a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP).
