Behind the name and the music is Canadian singer-songwriter Dany Horovitz, known for his ability to captivate audiences with memorable melodies and vivid storytelling. Dany’s newest project, Way About You, collects his singles to date, including the album’s title track “Way About You” – a vibrant, banjo-infused pop song showcasing his evolution as an artist.

Produced around an infectious riff reminiscent of Avicii’s “Wake Me Up,” “Way About You” hooks listeners from the start with its joyful banjo, catchy melody, and beautiful harmonies at the chorus. The song began as a casual “throwaway” piece but soon became a standout track thanks to the fresh ears of Dany’s producer, Calvin Hartwick. After a college engineering session where the track was played live, Calvin insisted it had to be recorded and brought in composer Matthew O’Halloran as a co-producer. Now, it’s one of Dany’s favorite songs.

Collaborators on “Way About You” include Sean Royle, a celebrated Toronto studio musician and arranger, and Eric Vanier, whose stellar drumming brought energy to the track. The banjo, played by Sean Royle, added a unique and irresistible layer that completed the song’s sound.

I consider myself a storyteller first and foremost, and in this song, I explore the mysterious “Way About You” through endless, cosmic metaphors. From the first note, this track puts a smile on my face, and I hope it does the same for listeners. – Dany Horovitz
