Fans of Southern Gospel music may remember
Danny Riddle as a young artist in that field. He
definitely had success in it, while also embarking
on a radio career that saw him host the
successful Gospel show Reach Out.
Danny’s music is loved by everyone. His style is
primarily Southern Gospel and he certainly knows
how to sing that pure, southern gospel music!
Danny delights audiences with one old familiar
standard after another and then he gives a twist
by introducing his original compositions that
range from his normal styling to contemporary.
Audiences everywhere love Danny from the moment they lay eyes on him – he’s just
one of those kinds of people! His endearing personality combined with his zeal and
passion for the gospel makes his music and concerts a memorable time of fellowship
in the gospel.
At the young age of eleven years old, Danny Riddle began a journey, a journey into
the field of music ministry. Then, at the age of fifteen, after a bad experience with the
church music director, his life started to unravel. Instead of giving in to despair,
Danny prayed a simple prayer: “God, if you will give me a voice, I will sing for you.”
God answered that prayer and the doors quickly began to open for this young
teenager striving to share the Gospel in song.
By his sixteenth birthday, he had already recorded his first single, which received
extensive airplay throughout his home state of Florida. Following a guest appearance
on a radio program, he was offered the opportunity to host a Gospel Music radio
show. He faithfully accepted the challenge. The show was called “Reach Out.” and
was on the air for more than eleven years, syndicated to radio stations across the
country.
In his late twenties, Danny decided to leave the Christian Music industry to pursue
other goals in life. Several years later, a friend talked him into re-releasing several of
his earlier recordings on CD. God began once again to work in Danny’s life. He later
released “Old Time Religion,” a collection of many old-time hymns that Danny had
always dreamed of recording.
Since then, Danny has released several recordings, including the projects, “In a
Different Light", “You Raise Me Up” and the most recent recording "Here Today".
“I want my music, and more importantly my life, to inspire others to pursue a sincere
relationship with the Lord,” Danny says. When all is said and done, he wants to be
remembered as “the boy who sang his songs for Jesus Christ.”
