Hello. I’m Danny, and I’m a Foley Artist. Based in Manchester, I use an ever-growing collection of props to build bespoke soundscapes in sync to picture. I quite literally fell feet first into this mystical craft, and I haven’t been able to look back since.

Originally I trained as a musician, composing, performing, and producing music primarily as a percussionist, but with a passion for creating ambient guitar loops and generative soundscapes. I stumbled across the world of foley while studying Music Production at the University Of Central Lancashire. I immediately fell in love with the craft. It has since become a genuine passion for me to hone and develop my skills as an artist and editor. As I embark on this journey, I hope to grow as a Foley Artist and as a Post-Production Sound Engineer, expanding my Dialogue Editing, Sound Effects Editing, Sound Design, and Mixing capabilities.

Since March 2022, I’ve been a member of 344 Audio‘s sound team, working as a Foley Artist and Editor on the companies Film Projects and Sound Effects Libraries.

I’ve been lucky enough to be a regular Location Sound Recordist with Eastern Blok.

And I’m also a frequent collaborator with Freshrb, in particular on their Silent Elephant Projects. Producing sounds for Short Films and Documentaries that raise awareness for marginalized health conditions. In 2019, I officially joined the team as an Audio Production Consultant. I oversee a project’s soundscape throughout each stage of its production. In my role, I’m responsible for capturing location sound and field recordings alongside a plethora of audio post services.

Four facts about me:

1. When I’m not recordings sounds, I’m most likely flailing around on a football pitch. I play as the goalkeeper in my local Sunday league team.
2. With a lot of help from my Dad, I’ve built my own tuned percussion. So far we’ve created a slate lithophone and an oak marimba.
3. I once ate an 8 scoop ice cream in one sitting while travelling around Tokyo. Each scoop was a different flavour (Strawberry, Coffee, Milk, Chocolate, Matcha, Banana, Grape, and Ramune Soda), and they were all amazing.
4. I hope to one day have a sausage dog. Either named Richmond or Frank (short for Frankfurter).

I’m always looking to collaborate and meet new people. If you would like to work together, please email me at danny@dbjones.co.uk or via the contact form.
