Daniel Gabriel Alessandro Saucedo Grzechowski[1] (born 25 February 1986), known professionally as Danny Saucedo or simply Danny, is a Swedish singer and songwriter. He rose to fame as one of the finalists in Idol 2006, the Swedish version of Idol, where he reached the top six.[2]
Saucedo has released five studio albums and more than fifteen singles as a solo artist. His debut album Heart Beats and its three singles "Tokyo", "Play It for the Girls" and "Radio" topped the Swedish charts. He was simultaneously a member of Swedish pop trio E.M.D. with Erik Segerstedt and Mattias Andréasson, which was active between 2007 and 2010.[3] The trio released three albums and eleven singles (of which one album and four singles topped the Swedish charts). He has competed in Melodifestivalen five times, every time as both artist and songwriter. In 2009 E.M.D. finished third with "Baby Goodbye" and as a solo artist he finished second in 2011 with "In the Club", as well as in 2012 with "Amazing". He returned in 2021 with "Dandi dansa", qualifying direct to the final for a third time as a solo artist and finishing in seventh place in the final, and in 2024 with "Happy That You Found Me" when he also qualified directly for the final.
