Daniel James Gonzalez[3] (born June 12, 1994)[1] is an American YouTuber, musician, and former Viner.
Career
Gonzalez began his career on Vine making six-second comedy sketches. He later participated in Camp Unplug, a 2016 Vine mini-series, during which he met Drew Gooden.[4] In 2014, while still on Vine, Danny started making YouTube videos. Gonzalez accumulated about 2.9 million Vine followers before the service shut down.[5]
In 2019, he and Gooden headlined the "We are Two Different People" comedy tour with Kurtis Conner as the opener.[6][7]
Gonzalez uploads regular content to a second YouTube channel, 2 Danny 2 Furious.[8] He refers to the second channel as a place where he can "get a little bit goofy and drink La Croix."[9] In early 2021, he created a third channel specifically for video game live streaming to chronicle his first play-through of Minecraft.[10]
YouTube content
Gonzalez's videos are often commentary on different aspects of Internet culture, criticism of YouTube, B movies and general cultural criticism;[11] his 2018 Troom Troom reaction videos popularized the channel.[12] He is known for his criticisms of Jake and Logan Paul[11] and for his commentaries on Musical.ly (later TikTok) stars.[13] In addition to commentary videos, Gonzalez is known for his parody music. Gonzalez calls his fanbase "Greg."
He is associated with fellow YouTube comedians Drew Gooden, Kurtis Conner, and Cody Ko.[14]
Personal life
He was born in Illinois, USA[15], and currently lives in Chicago, Illinois.[16] He attended high school in Atlanta, Georgia, which is when he started making videos on YouTube with some of his friends.[17]
He married his wife, Laura Gonzalez, in July 2017.
