Dan Avidan

Leigh Daniel Avidan is a musician, songwriter, comedian, and internet icon born in Springfield, NJ. In 2003, Avidan joined the indie rock band The Northen Hues as the lead singer. After releasing a couple of EPs, the band split up because of lack of planning for the band’s future.
A year later, Avidan partnered with Peter Lennox to form another indie style band called Skyhill. In 2007, the two released their first album Run With the Hunted. After the tour of this album in 2008, the two decided to part ways due to difference in creativity.
Avidan took a couple years pursuing comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York. During this time, a new music project was in the works in Avidan’s head. Shortly after expressing this idea, Avidan was introduced to Brian Wecht, another musician and comedian as well as a theoretical physicist, to be his producer. The two hit it off and started creating characters and costumes to what Avidan called “Ninja Sex Party.” From that point on, Avidan would be known as “Danny Sexbang” and Wecht would be “Ninja Brian.”
After releasing many music videos, the two were discovered by animator Ross O'Donovan (a.k.a. RubberNinja), who shared the videos with his friends, one of which was Arin Hanson (a.k.a. Egoraptor), another animator as well as a co-host of the YouTube channel Game Grumps. This gave Avidan and Hanson a chance to get to each other and allowed Avidan to be a co-host of a sideshow of the channel Steam Train along with O'Donovan. After co-founder/host of the channel, Jon Jafari, left to pursue his own YouTube career, Hanson chose Avidan to replace the empty spot on the show.
Later on, Hanson, Avidan, and Wecht’s friendship sparked a new project idea collaborating NSP’s comedy music talent and Hanson’s love for video games, later forming Starbomb, with Hanson rapping, Avidan singing, and Wecht producing.
Since then, Avidan has been featured as the singer of the theme song for Cartoon Network’s Mighty Magiswords and starred in the YouTube Red Original Series Good Game, created by Game Grumps and executive produced by Dan Harmon.
