Danny Foster is a talented Soul Singer & meditation coach.
Down to earth , friendly & well known for his electric smile!
Born, in London, England. Danny was unaware of the influence that music and entertainment would have on his life.
Danny grew up listening to the sounds of Luther Vandross, Lionel Ritchie, Marvin Gaye, The Rat Pack, James Brown and many, many more. It was his family record collection that would inspire him to enter into the world of music and entertainment.
Danny discovered he could sing (aged 18) on a family holiday to Tenerife. From that point onwards, Danny played 1000's of gigs and went to countless auditions until 2001 when the hard work paid off, his dream came true and his career turned professional overnight.
In 2001, on ITV's Popstars, Danny was selected to be one fifth of the pop phenomenom Hear'say.
Danny's powerful voice and warm personality made him a favourite with both the judges and fans, Paul Adam (Polydor A&R) said; "Danny Foster has one of the most powerful vocals we have heard"
Danny achieved amazing success along with other Hear'say members: Kym Marsh, Myleene Klass, Suzanne Shaw and Noel Sullivan. Thanks to their loyal fanbase, Danny was able to achieve unprecedented record sales, going double platinum with both the band's debut single "Pure and Simple" ( 1.2 Million copies) and debut album "Popstars" ( 1.4 million copies). These figures placed the group in The Guinness Book of World Records, being the only group to have their debut single and album at No.1 Simultaneously.
Due to the success of the group, Danny fulfilled a burning ambition; Touring and singing Live every night to thousands of people. The group toured the UK & Ireland with 36, record breaking, arena dates and this led them to present their own Saturday Night TV Show "Hear'say, It's Saturday!" (ITV). It was on that show that Danny achieved another dream; singing with Soul legend Lionel Ritchie.
Danny said " It was a milestone for me both professionally and personally. I have proved you can live your dream! Lionel Ritchie has been a constant in our family record collection. My family were in the audience that night and for them to see me sing with Lionel Ritchie was an unforgettable moment.
Danny has performed on major television shows including: The Royal Variety Performance (ITV), The Brit Awards (ITV), Top of The Pops (BBC), Party in The Park (ITV) and many, many more.
Danny and the group were on countless newspapers and magazine covers including Heat, Smash Hits, The Face and NME. After 2 albums and whilst recording a third, in New York, the band decided they had reached a natural and rapid end. All members agreed to go their separate ways and Hear'say split.
After the group split, Danny kept a low profile & took time out to reflect on the major life experience. He travelled the world and after spending a lot of time in India, he found meditation & yoga. This is where his life completely changed. He spent time with monks, stayed in ashrams, learned to meditate & gained a new perspective on life.
He also met & set up home with his beautiful wife Victoria Goddard. They have now been together for 23 years.
Today, Danny is embarking into all areas of entertainment.
Danny created & founded "Danny Foster & The Big Soul Corporation" a sensational soul revue show which has been touring for over 15 years, bringing a soulful good time to audiences in the UK & internationally.
Danny Foster: "I created & founded “Danny Foster & The Big Soul Corporation” with my wife Victoria. We are over the moon with the show! What we have created & achieved has, most importantly, brought joy & gratitude into our lives. To every single person who has come to see our show, we are grateful. We would like to thank everyone for their kindness, emails & social media messages. We appreciate you all. Grateful, grateful, grateful!"
Danny also created & founded - Love Includes You - a meditation, self love & personal development platform. Creating spaces where people can come together to explore what it means to reconnect with themselves through community events, daily practices & meditation. Bringing everything that he learned from monks in India and asking how we can all bring these practices into our everyday lives.
Danny is expanding this by working on creative ideas & concepts for Social Platforms, Entertainment events, Podcasts, TV shows & private coaching.
