Danny Wellington
Bio:
New York City’s undisputed ambassador of vintage glamour and modern swing – Harlem-born bandleader, vocalist, and style icon Dandy Wellington brings the roaring elegance of the Jazz Age roaring into today’s most sophisticated celebrations.
With a honeyed voice that channels Cab Calloway and Nat King Cole, backed by a killer ensemble of some of NYC’s finest jazz musicians, Dandy and his band deliver timeless standards, hot swing dancers, and upbeat Lindy-hop favorites that turn any room into an instant speakeasy. Impeccably tailored in bespoke suits and perfectly knotted ties, the band doesn’t just play the era — they live it, making every performance feel like an exclusive 1930s soirée with a 2025 pulse.
From headlining the Rainbow Room and The Carlyle to international stages in London, Paris, St. Petersburg, and Sydney, Dandy’s blend of classic cool and contemporary charisma has made him the go-to entertainer for luxury brands (Pomellato, Bergdorf Goodman, Vogue) and discerning private clients alike. Whether you need ceremony music with 1920s charm, a swinging cocktail hour, or a full-tilt dance set that keeps guests cutting rugs until the wee hours, Dandy Wellington creates events that look and sound like they belong on the silver screen.
