Danny Kiranos (born June 26, 1987), better known as his stage name Amigo the Devil, is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and banjo player. His music is influenced by American folk, country, rock, and heavy metal, with themes of murder, death, and other dark subject matters which has led to his music being called Dark Folk or Murderfolk. Kiranos created the record label Liars Club Records with the label Regime Music Group.
After spent years refining the style, with a potent offering of ominous context packaged in earnest folk songs, his 2018 debut ‘Everything Is Fine’ resonated with a wild, passionate fanbase that took to his keen musical craftsmanship and his knack for sinister storytelling.
Penning stanzas that touted such dark narrative might seem at odds with the soul nurturing sound of Folk, yet Kiranos’ ability to meld the two proved not only effective, but masterful. Built with a musical DNA that equally embraced plot and power, Kiranos musical evolution into Amigo The Devil is backed by a collection of entries that is even more diverse than anyone could expect given the result.
Stylistically spanning from mathcore to black metal, from folk music pioneers to Fiona Apple, the broad curriculum that ultimately steered Kiranos’ creative foundation all carry the same common denominator. Kiranos gravitated towards the emotive, music that was nuanced, dark, and designed to stir the soul regardless of the style. It’s that fundamental base that equips Amigo the Devil the ability reach such a broad audience – because he is that audience.
