Daniel O’Connor, (born December 12, 1968, in Brooklyn, New York), best known as Danny Boy O’Connor, is an American rapper and a member of the hip-hop group, House of Pain. Danny Boy moved to California in the 80s where he masterminded House of Pain, one of the first all white hip-hop groups. While attending William Howard Taft High School in Woodland Hills, California (1984–1986), he met Erik Schrody and asked him to join his now legendary hip-hop group. While in House of Pain, Danny Boy acted as the hype man, second emcee on stage, and the graphic artist of the group. After House of Pain disbanded Danny Boy continued to work on other projects such as his group Xsupermodels, freelance logo designing, street wear and kicks (sneakers). He is also the Executive Producer of the documentary film, Just For Kicks (2005). Danny Boy is currently involved in the hip-hop group La Coka Nostra.

House of Pain

A.T.F., XSM and other projects

Since House of Pain's split in 1996, Danny Boy has not been very active in the public. His musical project A.T.F. (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms) broke up before their first release, and the short lived group XSupermodels (XSM) only saw a promotional.

He is the featured rapper in Powerman 5000's remake of the Frankie Goes To Hollywood classic, "Relax", on the Zoolander soundtrack.

La Coka Nostra

In 2006, Danny Boy formed La Coka Nostra with Slaine, teaming up with fellow House of Pain member Everlast, DJ Lethal and Ill Bill of Non Phixion. The group's debut album entitled "A Brand You Can Trust" was released on July 14, 2009, on Suburban Noize Records.[1]
