Danny Polfliet (born 31 May 1977), known professionally as Danny Vera, is a Dutch singer-songwriter and musician.[1]

Career

Danny Vera started his first band Till Dawn in 1999, with which he won the "Zeeuwse Belofte" award. He released his first solo album For the Light in Your Eyes in 2003.[2]

In April 2009 Vera went to Hilltop Studios in Nashville, Tennessee to record his fourth album, Pink Flamingo.[3]

Football pundit Johan Derksen's successful insistence that Danny Vera would play in his TV talkshows VI and Voetbal Inside launched Vera's musical career.[4]

In 2019 his song "Roller Coaster" from his seventh album Pressure Makes Diamonds Part II finally hit the Dutch charts.[5] One year later, the song went on to rank first in the annual Dutch Top 2000.[6]

Personal life

In the 2020 documentary Danny Vera: Van oma’s kelder tot Carré Vera claimed he hasn't eaten meat "for years".[7]
