Biography

Danny Hutton is a musician and a voice-over artist. Hutton's family moved from Ireland to Los Angeles when he was a child, and he had an early job working at a warehouse for Disney/Buena Vista Records. He moved on to doing voice-over work and singing songs for MGM and Hanna Barbara cartoons, during which time he was one of thousands who unsuccessfully tried out to be in The Monkees. In 1968, Hutton became a founding member of the 70s rock group Three Dog Night and remained with the band until their official breakup in 1977, after which he managed LA-area punk bands and fronted the Danny Hutton Hitters. When Three Dog Night reformed in the mid-80s, he returned to the band and remains an active band member.
