Danny Carey: Early Life & Biography

The renowned musician was born on 10th May 1961 in Lawrence, Kansas, as Daniel Edwin Carey. He grew up in a middle-class family with his father being an insurance manager while his mother practised teaching. Though not much information is given about his early childhood life, it is noted that he has one older and younger brother.

At the age of ten years, Carey had his first experience playing the drums after joining the school’s band in Paola, Kansas. He was thereafter coached to play the snare drums privately. In his senior year, he became a member of his high school’s jazz band. Daniel Carey later enrolled at the University of Missouri, Kansas, where he majored in percussion studies majoring in geometry, science, and metaphysics principles.  He often participated in recitals in school while advancing his skills as a drummer. In the long run, his love for music overshadowed his studies, which led him to quit college to run away with a band to Oregon.

Danny Carey: Personal Life

Carey has tried to keep most details of his life private; however, social media knows how to dig for information. The renowned musician has been linked to being in a relationship before his marriage to his wife, Sabine on March 27th, 1997.

The big question everyone is asking is whether he has divorced Sabine. The reason for these speculations is that he got a son with his baby mama and a seeming girlfriend known as Rynne Stump. His son is identified as Zola Carey, and he was born in June 2015. According to various sources, Stump and Danny have been seeing each other for the longest time now, probably years.

What has not been shared are details about his relationship with his wife Sabine and what transpired between them. Sabine and Danny did not have any children together as per the resources that have been shared online. Whatever that case is, we hope that Sabine is equally happy wherever she is.

Tool debuted their first studio album Undertow in 1993, which sold platinum records within its first year of release.  Though one of the music videos, Prison Sex, was a bit scandalous, the band still gained popularity. Their sophomore album, dubbed Aenima, garnered them a Grammy award in 1998 for the Best Metal performance.

Additionally, just like the first album, Aenima was three times platinum certified peaking garnering top spots on international charts. The album came in at number one on New Zealand’s charts and number 2 in America. 2006 saw the release of their fourth album known as 10,000 Days, which peaked at number one in several countries, including Canada, the US, and Australia. They served their fans with a fifth album, Fear Inoculum, after nearly 13 years.
