About Daneka Nation:
Texas native Rhett Daneka began his career as a professional pilot and air ambulance pilot before unexpectedly discovering a passion for music in 2004 through Houston’s karaoke scene. Mentored by an 84-year-old quartet singer, Rhett developed his voice and became locally known as one of Houston’s “Kings of Karaoke.” After years of performing, he founded the country/rock band Daneka Nation, which has now surpassed 9 million listeners across major platforms. The band is currently preparing the release of their breakout single and music video, How Much Love.
