During his school years, Elfman showed more interest in science than in creativity, he was even expelled from the local orchestra. This only changed in high school in the late 1960s, when Danny spent more time with friends listening to early jazz.

In his youth, the musician wanted to see the world, so after school he went with his brother Rich to France to work in a circus, and then on a trip to Africa, where he planned to collect a collection of West African musical instruments. Ill there, he returned home earlier than planned. By that time, his brother had already founded the Oingo Boingo group, to which Elfman joined.

Elfman does not like to talk about his personal life. It is known that in 2003 the actress Bridget Fonda became his wife, who gave her husband a son, Oliver. From a past relationship, the man has two children, both girls, Lola and Mali. The youngest Mali also showed herself creatively, worked as a film producer and starred in films herself.

Danny maintains pages on Instagram and Twitter, where he publishes news about new projects, as well as personal photos. His height is 178 cm.

Danny's musical career began with the aforementioned group Oingo Boingo, from which Rich left (took up directing), leaving her to his brother. Younger Elfman opened up there, sang songs with enthusiasm, played and composed compositions. The first soundtrack in his life he wrote for his brother's film "Forbidden Zone", where he played the role of the devil-jazzman.

Subsequently, the team, led by the composer, existed for 18 years, recorded 8 albums, toured half the world with concerts and broke up in 1995. By that time, the man worked with various films and TV shows, wrote music for them, and paid less and less attention to the group. In addition, the constant presence on stage under "screaming" speakers negatively affected the artist's hearing, which he could not afford.

Elfman's further career began to develop rapidly. Together with director Tim Burton, he participated in the work on the comedy "Pee-wee's Big Adventure", the men had similar views and quickly worked together. After the first screening of the picture on the screens, both woke up famous, since then Danny began to receive offers from other directors to write a soundtrack almost every day.
