He had recorded about 4-5 albums worth of music while on Death Row Records but none were ever released. Danny Boy also made an appearance on Tha Row's soundtrack to Eddie Griffin's Dysfunktional Family movie and also appeared on American Idol, but was disqualified due to continued internet promotion by his former label. He is currently working on some projects for his own label "Eclectic Soul Music Group" and currently resides in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. On April 20, 2010 Death Row Records finally released Danny Boy's 1996 debut album It's About Time featuring production by DJ Quik & Devante.
