Danny Vola is the most talented and entertaining white boy to grace the guitar since Naked Cowboy. Danny Vola created a buzz on YouTube with his acoustic version of Waka Flaka Flames "No Hands" single. Vola took the upbeat rap song and turned into a mellow string picking ballad. And I for one prefer his version to the original. The saying goes if you're going to touch an original, make sure it is better than the first.
It was Danny Vola's version that grabbed my attention when I realized what some of the actual lyrics were to "No Hands".
My fascination with music was heightened. I got a rush from his music that put a rhythm in my body that fueled my energy and I was ready for more, so I continued to search. Danny Vola is a 24 year old from Detroit, Michigan which almost explains for his music capabilities. His YouTube video recording, which features Vola in a closed music room performing "No Hands" with just a guitar, mic and stool, has over 2 million views and is still climbing.
Danny Vola has covered a wide range of artists from Drake to rap legends Wu-Tang Clan. Yes, this man right here, got down to C.R.E.A.M. and again, I would give his rendition of one of the East Coast most loved anthem two hands up. Of all the songs Danny Vola has covered, the only one I personally did not take a liking to was Miguel's "Sure Thing". That track is already acoustic in sound and soulful at best, so the double guitar feel did not stick with me. However, for someone to be able to take a song by the Notorious B.I.G and turn into something that Biggie himself could not give you, shows this man's music abilities. He is definitely one worth catching in person.
Danny Vola travels performing live shows of not only cover music but original music as well. He has even joined the rapper Waka Flocka Flame on stage to perform the rapper's covered single together.
The buzz surrounding Danny Vola has somewhat died down since the debut of his infamous rap cover but I assure you Mr. Vola is still gracing us with his unique style. Danny Vola also made a musical debut in the 2012 movie, "Think Like A Man". Danny Vola is someone to look for, he offers a full free download of his mixtapes at http://www.datpiff.com/mixtapes-search?criteria=danny%20vola&sort=rating (Datpiff.com) and can be followed on Twitter at @DannyVola. Videos for Vola can be found on YouTube.
True music lovers will enjoy the work Danny Vola produces and he is definitely someone worth listening to but don't just take my word for it, check him out for yourself.
