We had the good fortune of connecting with Danny Toranzo from the band, Toranzo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Danny, what matters most to you?
The value that matters most to me and my team is honesty at every stage of creating. We often pass around the saying, “How you do one thing is how you do everything” to one another!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
We write, produce, and perform our own fusion of music that includes anything from a love of musically DIY movements in Hip-Hop and Punk to rhythms and nuances from Latin and Jazz music.

Our lyrics will bounce from English to Spanish, rap-esque to sung ballads, and introspective honesty to emotive reflection.

We are very excited to be able to make this music as communal as possible and are grateful that we have a fan base of people from many different walks of life.

We believe that our identity in our fusion of music helps build bridges and connect people and ideas, without alienating listeners.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
For music, art, history, and architecture all in one, I love going Balboa Park for a day and getting lost in the museums.

For food and drinks, we often hang out at Craft Coast in Oceanside, or love having a pint with our friends at Pure Project and Booze Bros. in Vista!

Barrio Logan/Chicano Park have a rich Mexican-American culture and awesome people that we love going to hang out with!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
This band absolutely could never exist without my brothers: Dane Delaney (Drums), Caleb Quam (Bass), and Patrick McCaffery (Keys). It is for US, not ME.
