McFly
McFly rose to fame in 2004. This was due partly to their association with Busted, who helped launch the band with an offer to be the supporting act on the Busted tour, "A Present for Everyone". Jones met Tom Fletcher when he auditioned for the "boy band", V, (an act that he had mistakenly perceived as similar to the band that Busted would become); Fletcher, who was filming the auditions for Island Records, later approached Jones. The two conversed and discovered common interests, leading to a songwriting session between Fletcher, Jones and James Bourne.
When writing projects for Busted were complete, Fletcher and Jones began writing for their own, then-unnamed band, eventually temporarily moving into the InterContinental Hotel in London, United Kingdom (UK). Drummer Harry Judd and bassist Dougie Poynter were subsequently recruited through an advert placed by the duo in the NME magazine.
Jones has co-written all five of McFly's studio albums along with his fellow band members. He also penned three of his own solo tracks on the first three McFly albums. He has also produced tracks for McFly and other musicians; for example, he produced the song, "Only The Strong Survive", from McFly's fourth studio album "Radio:ACTIVE", as well as his band's cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella". He has also produced countless demos for his band, alongside Fletcher. Jones also takes the role of lead guitarist in most performances, with Fletcher playing rhythm guitar. He can be seen performing solos in songs such as "That Girl", "I Wanna Hold You", "Everybody Knows" and "Transylvania".
As a side project, Jones has also been working on remixes for his band's songs as well as other songs. Songs such as Party Girl, Nowhere Left To Run and Take Me There have all been remixed under the name Danny Jones. Some remixes can be found as b-sides on singles released from the album Above The Noise. Jones has also been seen at many concert after parties as a DJ.
