Danny DelRay Singer Entertainer Musician

An audience coming to hear Danny DelRay should expect only the highest quality in sound and performance perfection. Danny has honed his skills in music and sound to the highest level. Performance vary by audiences who diversify in age and tastes. He's not for an under 40 audience but 40's and up will enjoy his musical repertoire that ranges from the 50's to today and from Broadway to Pop County, From Sinatra to Garth Brooks and Billy Joel. His performances are of the greatest real music of all time but in his non-stop music performances he'll include mixes of music he does not perform like pop dance, electronica, and rap favorites.

Born Daniel Heise in Hoboken, NJ on February 18th, 1957 and adopted by Herbert and Rita Heise. He was raised in Northern New Jersey. Even though Rita and Herb had no musical talents, Danny shined musically from the day he was born. He loved to mimic singers he heard on his 45’s like Louis Armstrong, Tony Bennett, and Dean Martin. In kindergarten, he played piano by ear, copying his teacher just after she played for the kids. At a tender 11 years old he became the youngest church organist to play for his church, St. Anne’s in East Paterson, NJ. Parishioners would come just to see and hear him, and even a priest from nearby Saddle Brook’s St. Phillips asked him to perform there too. He later went on to win many contests and awards, including the regional competition in the Yamaha International Organ Festival in 1976. He started performing professionally for larger shows and local venues all over New York and New Jersey at just 15 years old — and has been in the business for over 50 years.

Yes, Danny DelRay has been entertaining audiences professionally for decades, building a reputation as one of South Florida’s most versatile and compelling entertainers. A self-taught pianist, guitarist, harmonicist, and classically trained vocalist, Danny brings technical mastery and genuine warmth to every performance — whether he’s headlining a black-tie wedding reception or holding court at a beachside piano bar on a Saturday night.

Born with an ear for melody and a natural stage presence, Danny found his calling early: music that connects people. His specialty is the Great American Songbook — the timeless catalog of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett, and the great composers of the mid-20th century. In Danny’s hands, these songs feel both classic and alive.

At the very least, if needed, I'll supply the instruments, sound system and musical background tracks. If the venue already has a house sound system, I will jack into that with my own mixer. If I'm to do a stand up performance I will supply the music to the sound engineer and a time schedule and order of the performance playlist.
If lights are required, I can definitely control them during performance but I do not supply them so they would have to be rented.
Secure dry (covered and shaded from the sun, rain, elements) Staging would be supplied by the client.
