Musical career

Levan began his career using his birth name. Afterwards, he changed his name to the stage name "Danny Levan." In 2008, he released his first song, "Something New" (Bulgarian: Нещо ново).[3]

In the same year, he released the songs "Can We," "Pink Days," and "I Want from You" (a duet with another singer, Leo, from the reality show Big Brother).[4]

In 2009, with the composer Martin Biolchev, Levan made the song "Infuse Me" (Bulgarian: Влей се в мен, literally Pour yourself into me).[5] "Infuse Me" was aired live on the nationwide TV channel bTV on the comedy show "The Comedians." [6] At the end of 2009, he shot two videos, for the songs "Something New" and "Infuse Me," with him as director, which officially went online in 2010.[7] Many concerts and television and radio appearances followed. However, from 2011 to 2013, he paused his musical career. In October 2011, because of an invitation from the leader of the Bulgarian party "SEK," Danny Levan became a candidate for Burgas municipal elections counselor for 2011.[8]

At the same time, from 2011 to 2013, he was sent several contracts for Bulgarian and foreign musical companies and labels, but did not accept any of them.

In 2013, he created a self-written song, "Body Shaker" with Bate Pesho, which was nominated for the first musical awards from BOX TV, the national musical television.[9] The video to the song was filmed by Bashmotion and went live during August of the same year.

In 2014, DJ Diass wrote a song for Danny entitled "Losing track of time", which is released by "Crossworld Records" London around the world.[10]

A month later, again with his lyrics, together with DJ Gabriel Slick, he created the album "Patterns", which includes 5 songs and 2 remixes. The album is released worldwide again under the auspices of the English label from London "Crossworld Records". The song "Patterns" is a single from the album. In Bulgaria, 7 weeks are held in first place in the ranking of the top 40 of "Alpha Radio".[11][12]

Alpha Radio's single "Patterns" became the most broadcast song of 2014, according to the radio station.

At the same time, Levan created a new EP with music producers The Moochers from Italy. The album is titled "Scars of Love" (in Bulgarian: Белези от любов), containing 3 songs and 1 remix, again after the lyrics of the artist.

Scars of Love is released by King Street Records - a label from New York.[13]

The single "Chance for Love" to the music of Svetlin Kaslev - Starlight was released on February 14, 2014 in a duet with Nells. The video for the song is the work of the director Alexander Molov. [14]

During this period he received an inquiry from the Greek singer Marina Sazi for a cover of his song "Body Shaker".

Subsequently, the singer's team invited him to make the song in a duet. In May of that year, they shot a video for "Body Shaker" together. The song and video are distributed by Universal Music Group directly in VEVO and in over 25 countries around the world.[15]

He received a contract offer from Universal Music Group - Minos EMI, which he accepted and in June 2014 signed a contract with the music company. [16]

On December 1, 2014 was released Danny Levan's first solo single "Don't Say Goodbye" with the music giant Universal Music Group - Minos EMI. The video was uploaded by the music giant with its premiere at VEVO after three months of work on the project.[17] The song climbed to No. 1 in the top 40, Spain, for several weeks in a row. [18]

On December 10, 2014, Danny Levan received the "Pop Artist of the Year" award at the fifth annual media awards for fashion, style and show business - Varna.[19]

On June 7, 2016 he presents his duet song with the pop-folk singer Anelia - "In my mind". The video was shot in the Turkish resort of Alanya. The director of the video is Pavlin Ivanov. The duo is released by the music company Payner.
