About

When Danny Watts started Downtown Patriots, this multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and producer wanted a sound that captured his love of grunge but with a modern twist of energy.

​

Originally hailing from Colchester, UK (home of Britpop popularist band Blur) and after training as a sound engineer, Danny worked in various London production houses, before opening his own writing and production studio in Southwark.

​

Now, Danny has left the congestion of the city and lives a rural life in the Suffolk countryside, but continues to write and produce music as a solo artist.  His latest project - Downtown Patriots, is a one-man tour-de-force of electro-pop rock that has inspired him throughout his life.

​

"I love all forms of music, but I get a real kick from plugging in an electric guitar in to an amp and cranking it up via a good distortion pedal.  Throw in some 80s synths and some phat breakbeats and you get an idea of the sound of Downtown Patriots' latest offering."
