His mother and father moved the family to Annandale, Virginia when Dan was still a young boy. While he was growing up, Dan was teased for being short – neighborhood children called him "Disco Danny," inspired by a character from the TV show What's Happening!! . Difficulties with socializing and a lifelong struggle with mental illness both contributed to his isolation from the drug scene and gang wars that were prevalent in DC in the 1980s and 90's.[4] Cool "Disco" Dan began spraying his tag in 1984. Part of the Go-Go scene of the 80's in Washington, he managed to avoid being jailed or killed, unlike many of his contemporaries, by devoting himself solely to graffiti rather than involving his art with drugs or gangs. The pervasiveness of his mark was reported frequently in the local press. He is featured in the book Free Agents, a history of Washington, DC graffiti,[5] and has a page on "Art Crimes" as a featured artist.[6] As he had been writing his tag for so long his work is now part of the landscape of Washington, as attested by mentions of him in George P. Pelecanos' novel Shame the Devil as a "D.C. legend"[7] and in Dinaw Mengestu's novel The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears and in lyrics by Giant Robot and experimental pop act Golden Birds.[8] Works of his have been acquired and exhibited by the Corcoran Gallery of Art.[2] His tag appears briefly in the 1996 motion picture Mars Attacks. His graffiti can also be seen for a moment in The Frighteners. The name was used as part of a Jeopardy! style answer by the Washington Post in its weekly Style Invitational contest. The winning "question" for the answer "Moses, Jesus and Cool 'Disco' Dan" was "Who is Marion Barry going to need help from to clean up Washington?"[9] He is the subject of a documentary, The Legend of Cool "Disco" Dan.[10] Cool "Disco" Dan died on July 26, 2017, due to complications from diabetes.[11] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/daily/march99/discodan17.htm|title=Mark of the Urban Phantom|work=washingtonpost.com|date=October 9, 1991|accessdate=March 4, 2009|author=Paul Hendrickson|authorlink=Paul Hendrickson}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.corcoran.org/education/docents/Research_results_2.asp?Exhib_ID=139&Special_text_ID=194|title=The Daily Docent—Contemporary (Re)defined: Contemporary Art from the Permanent Collection|publisher=Corcoran Gallery of Art|accessdate=March 4, 2009}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2018/08/12/i-wanted-to-be-big-legendary-graffiti-artist-cool-disco-dans-unexpected-acclaim/|title=‘I wanted to be big’: The legend of Cool ‘Disco’ Dan|website=Washington Post}} 4. ^2013.
