From child prodigy to classical music industry powerhouse, Danny Evans has lived a life that echoes the drama of a Rachmaninov concerto—soaring highs, crashing lows, and everything in between.
Once a Royal College of Music student destined for concert pianist stardom, his world took a sharp turn after a violent father and a career-ending back injury forced him to walk away. But instead of leaving the music world behind, he found himself at the heart of the classical music business, working with some of the biggest names, including Lang Lang.
He talks about the fast lane of the industry, the pressure, the adrenaline, and the moment it all tipped over. From Berlin to New York to Paris, Danny opens up about relationships that burned bright and fast, the creeping onset of paranoia, and the helter-skelter ride into bipolar disorder…and Love rescues all?
