Born into a family of proletarian workers, he quickly became sensitized to the left's economic and social views through philosophy, especially with the writings of Albert Camus. In 2013, he launched a web series called Doxa where he would partake in media analysis with humour and sarcasm. After three years and 20 episodes, Doxa ended, and Dany started creating more diverse videos on France's politics and current social topics. In 2016, he made a video lightly criticizing the far-right French YouTuber, Le Raptor. This video would earn him an immense wave of cyber-bullying that would make him cease artistic activities for some time, while also facing personal financial issues during 2016 and 2017. In 2018, Dany returned to YouTube with the video 'Réponse à Internet' (Response to the Internet), addressing the insults he received throughout this harassment wave. A year later, in 2019, he wrote, edited and directed 'Le Seum du Sens' (The Annoyance of Sense). This experimental video essay serves as a melting pot of his artistic and philosophical influences. This marked his first collaboration with the streamer and musician Raz. It's with him that he would start 2020 on the Twitch channel 'Dany et Raz' (Dany and Raz). As of 2024, the channel has 50k followers and an average of 4k viewers, during those live streams, the duo mostly discusses and reacts to political content they saw online or on TV while giving their commentary. This content can spark long discussions in the duo that last for minutes while the video remains on pause in the background. As of 2024, Dany and Raz are the two owners and primary producers of Zawa Prod, their production company that specializes in creating political events and talk shows where they offer a platform to political actors they find compelling, like the French-Algerian activist Houria Boutelja, the leader of the Left party La France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and more.Show more
