McDaniel, who lists his musical inspiration as Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur, released his first album, All About J in 2001 on Hollywood Records.
McDaniel, who plays the boyfriend of Taylour Paige’s character Ahsha Hayes on the VH1 series, got his first big acting break as Devon Carter, a recurring role as Raven’s boyfriend on the Disney Channel series That’s so Raven.
McDaniel has also appeared in Entourage, Cougartown and The Hive, a series starring Michael Clarke-Duncan and Vivica A. Fox.
