Early life

Danny Wylde was born on October 21, 1985 in Alameda County, California. As a teenager, he attended hardcore punk shows and shortly afterward became straight edge. Wylde completed six years of undergraduate study.

adult movieographic career and advocacy

Wylde, "had done my first adult movie scene when I was 19." He has appeared in straight, gay and bisexual adult movieographic films.

Wylde contributed an entry en*led "Our adult movieography" to The Feminist adult movie Book: The Politics of Producing Pleasure, a collection of essays written by feminist adult movie scholars and feminists in the adult film industry. Wylde and his girlfriend, fellow adult movie star Lily Labeau, contributed a film of themselves having sex to the website MakeLoveNotadult movie, which aims to "provide more realistic information about human sexuality than that provided by hardcore adult movieography". The couple later appeared on The Jeff Probst Show with MakeLoveNotadult movie founder Cindy Gallop to discuss the site.

More recently, Wylde has been active in opposing Measure B, which requires all adult movie stars to wear condoms during *l and * sex scenes filmed in Los Angeles County. In April 2013, he appeared alongside fellow adult movieographic actor Steven St. Croix to debate the measure on a HuffPost Live discussion panel.

Non-adult movieographic career

Film

In addition to his adult film career, Wylde also produces and directs non-adult movieographic films. Some of these include Frisk, Nuclear, and Death and Sportsbras, all of which starred Guy Perry. Nuclear and another of his films, The Extraordinary Monday of Herman Brumby, have been screened at festivals.

Music

Wylde previously played in tech-metal bands Heuristic and Datura before becoming one half of the synthetic metal band Chiildren, his current project, alongside fellow adult movie star Chad Fjerstad (also known as Vin Vericose in the adult industry). The band is signed with Bit Riot Records, and has released one EP en*led The Other People. On the influence of adult movieography on their music, Fjerstad stated:

Sex and our lifestyle play a huge role in the lyrics, and I’m sure subconsciously in the mood of the music as well. The whole concept of ‘The Other People’ is about the separation we feel from everyone who is a non-sex-industry worker. When we go out, we observe the actions and behaviors of the majority of people, and it makes us feel very alien. ‘Milos’ is inspired by the extremely controversial ‘A Serbian Film,’ which is about an ex-adult moviestar thrown into a nightmarish snuff-world. We both found quite a bit of influence in that film. All of our stuff is littered with sex and violence — we can’t really escape it. At least not at this point in our lives.

Chiildren has released two music videos to date, for their tracks "My Gods" and "Girl in the Dirt".

Writing

Wylde has published three full-length novels, Come to My Brother (2013), The Wolves That Live in Skin and Space (2015), and The Magician (2020). He also released a collection of writings, Body to Job, in 2018.

He maintains a regular blog, Trve West Coast Fiction, where he chronicles his life largely outside of his career in adult movieography. Additionally, his written works have been featured on Smitten Kitten Online and the Bibliophile Érotique by Darling House blog, among other platforms.
