Danny K, a former South African music sensation, made a name for himself with his exceptional voice and hit collaborations with the late Mandoza. Throughout his career, he garnered numerous awards and released several chart-topping songs. However, after years of dominating the music scene, Danny K decided to step away from the limelight. In this article, we’ll explore what he has been up to since leaving the music industry and how he transitioned to the world of business.
Danny K, whose real name is Daniel Koppel, was a well-known South African hitmaker. He enchanted his fans with his unforgettable melodies, including classics like “Hurt So Bad,” “Made To Love You,” and “Brown Eyes.” His undeniable talent earned him several South African Music Awards (SAMA) nominations, and he went on to win four of them.
Despite his success, Danny K’s music career ended in 2013 when he released his last studio album, “Good Look,” which featured hits such as “Personal Paradise” and “Dance The Night Away.”
In a surprising turn of events, Danny K announced on Instagram last year that he had ventured into the world of business beyond music. His company, KD FOODS, purchased the well-known confectionery store, Sweets from Heaven. Founded in 1988, the brand has been a favourite among South Africans for decades.
Danny K expressed his excitement about the acquisition, saying, “We thank those responsible for founding and building this wonderful confectionery brand and commit to taking it to the next level. Watch this space.”
Aside from his new business ventures, Danny K has been exploring new toy products, travelling and spending quality time with his family. While he may have left the music industry, he seems to have found happiness in these new pursuits.
Danny K’s journey beyond music highlights how individuals can reinvent themselves and pursue their passions, even if it means stepping outside their comfort zones. He gracefully embraced change and successfully transitioned to the world of business, leaving a positive impact on the South African entrepreneurial landscape. Although he has retired from music, Danny K’s fans can now indulge in his sweet treats and support his new business venture.
