Danny Hines had a lifelong career serving in the military around the world before being injured. This prevented him from pursuing his dream of being a musician. However, after retiring from the military, he found a new way to pursue his musical dreams by composing and producing music. He studies music technology and volunteers teaching music to children, finding joy and purpose in their musical successes. His goal is to compose music for video games, movies, and more.
