Early Life and Background

Daniel Criado Cepeda (born in 2005 in Miami, Florida) professionally known as Ilydanny (stylized as ilydanny) Raised by his mother and father, who later divorced, this experience may have contributed to a sense of isolation that ultimately led him to music. While his father was a fan of heavy metal and his mother enjoyed reggaeton, ilydanny didn’t connect with those genres. However, his musical curiosity was sparked when his father introduced him to Eminem.

During his early years, ilydanny participated in his school band, but he felt that it wasn’t allowing him to express the music he wanted to create. This led him to download FL Studio, where he began experimenting with music production. Eventually, he found a deep connection with songwriting, which became a powerful outlet for expressing his emotions.

Musical Career

Ilydanny’s journey in music started as a joke. Over time, he began to take it more seriously, dedicating himself to improving his skills. However, at one point, he decided to quit music altogether. After high school, he reconsidered and began making music again. His friend Versaday played a crucial role in this revival, encouraging ilydanny to start releasing his music by telling him he was "robbing the world of happiness" by not sharing his songs. This led to the release of his more emotionally charged music.

Performances

Ilydanny made his live performance debut at the Mossfest Tour in 2022 and is set to perform there again on August 19, 2024.

Musical Style and Influences

Ilydanny’s music style is a blend of rap, rage, and hyperpop. Early in his musical journey, he was influenced by rap artists such as Juice WRLD, Trippie Redd, Josh A, and iamjakehill. During high school, he expanded his influences to include hyperpop artists like glaive, brakence, midwxst, aldn, and ericdoa. Seeing these hyperpop artists achieve success at a similar age inspired him to take his own music career more seriously and pursue it as a career choice.
