Dani was born Daniel Lloyd Davey on July 25th, 1973 in Hertford, England to Susan Janet Moore and Lawrence John Davey, the oldest child of four. Dani has two sisters, Amanda (b. 1975) and Rachel (b. 1979); and a brother, Philip (b. 1982).[1] He grew up in Ipswich, where he attended a private school, and hated to attend on Sundays, even though he always took school very seriously.
His first formed bands consisted of Carnival Fruitcake, the Lemon Grove Kids, PDA, and Feast of Excrement[2]. At the age of eighteen, Filth took up a job at a Chinese restaurant, in order to help form his long-term band, Cradle of Filth. He chose his career in music over an internship at a newspaper [3], although did have a job in Metal Hammer called "Dani's Inferno" for a few years during his time in Cradle. He chose music over writing because he has a fascination with its influence on people.
Cradle took off in 1991, but had no actual proper record deal until 1994, with their first album, The Principle of Evil Made Flesh. Dani has performed on nine Cradle of Filth studio albums since then. Filth is the only remaining member of the band's original line-up, and has been accused by former members of regarding it almost as his own solo project ("Dani and the Filths", according to ex-keyboard player Les "Lecter" Smith).
He is currently married to his long-time girlfriend, Toni (b. November 28), whom he married on October 31, 2005 in Ipswich[4]. The two share one child, Luna Scarlett (b. February 8, 1999). He lives in Suffolk, England and is currently working on writing The Gospel of Filth along with Gavin Baddeley.
