An enigma with the grace of a movie star that has yet to be discovered, Danny Lohner would dismiss such thoughts just to have one more moment with his bass. He has become a fixture on stage alongside Trent and Co. as they perform as the band Nine Inch Nails. His boyish grin reminds the fans that he is a fan himself of the work he produces.

Starting out in the Austin based industrial band Skrew, Danny was recruited by Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor as part of the live act for the Self Destruct tour in 1994. Danny would later work on the follow up remix album to The Downward Spiral entitled Further Down The Spiral.

Danny was asked later on to work on Hellbilly Deluxe, the solo album from Rob Zombie. He also contributed to work on Marilyn Manson's pop influenced "Antichrist Superstar." With a solo part on the track "Reflecting God," one knew that Danny was one to watch. Danny also worked on a track with former House of Pain frontman, Everlast. The track was never released due to its violent content in light of the events at Columbine in early 1999. Danny found time to also work with Tommy Lee on the debut Methods of Mayhem album.

While Nine Inch Nails recorded the long awaited followup to 1994's The Downward Spiral, the line up changed. Chris Vrenna departed as did Robin Finck, rumor had it that Danny would be next. He stayed, continuing his work alongside industrial genius Trent Reznor. Rumors flew that Danny may sing a track or two, soon the rumors would rest. In the Fall of 1999, The Fragile was released, a two disk journey through the abyss of Trent Reznor's world. The listener sat back, entranced on the tracks that were laboured over for months. Though it was not a commercial success, the album became a critical phenom. Danny's work was a major part of the album alongside Trent Reznor proving that a man and his bass could go a long way.
