Early life Danny D was born Daniel Terry Martin in Maidstone, Kent on 11 August 1987. Prior to beginning his career in pornography, Martin previously worked as a builder. During the holiday, Danny D and friends discussed what careers he could follow with his larger-than-average penis. An initial idea was for him to model for Calvin Klein, with the idea being that the size of his bulge when wearing the boxers would make people want to buy the boxers. Another career suggestion was being a male gigolo, and the idea of becoming a pornstar was discussed. He subsequently attended to a swinging club and went dogging, to see if he could perform in front of others. After attending a swinging party, D had sex with another man’s wife, to which the man remarked that he would pay him to be filmed having sex with his wife again. The couple lived in France and he took time off work, being flown out there to film. He spoke about the experience on the Ladbible TV podcast, Extraordinary Lives: He recounted how he was ‘really nervous’, and whilst staying with the couple, they drove out to a wooded area to film a scene in the back of their car. He stated that he was ‘blown away’, as he counted the money, remarking that being paid to be filmed having sex was ‘a thing’. There and then, the man asked if him wanted to shoot another scene and be paid again, to which he agreed and ten minutes later, he shot another scene. Martin was paid €150 and the man told him that every time he returned and was filmed, he would pay him again.

Martin has since worked with other production companies, including Digital Playground, and Evil Angel.

Martin stated that due to the group scenes, ‘the edge’ was taken off, as the camera could only focus on one thing, however, there were more people that he had to interact with. The series documented a woman's life in the adult film industry. In 2022, he stated that he made approximately £20,000 a month from posting on the site, adding that his audience was mainly male. He stated that OnlyFans was a side project for him, away from his main role within porn acting and producing. Martin compared this to when he started, stating that it was now easier with sites like OnlyFans, that a person could create a portfolio of work more easily.

In 2022, Martin and fellow pornographic actor Dick Bush started the ‘Smash City’ podcast.

Whilst helping to script a scene is enjoyable for Martin, he stated that he prefers building ‘worlds’ for his films. He has stated that he will often walk around IKEA and turn things upside down, remarking that a cutlery tray turned upside down and spray painted could look like a ‘space wall’. He has admitted to trying to build bigger sets and more interesting plots, such as big featurettes and production series. This included building a spaceship inside a studio, which took him just under two months to build, for the 2023 Digital Playground series, ' Deeper Space'''. He has filmed other scenes inside a nuclear bunker. Martin stated that he ‘really enjoyed’ the building side to the project. As of February 2024, Danny D was rated number 69 in the model rankings on Pornhub, with his profile having been viewed 22,234,828 times. His videos have had over a billion views.

Personal life Martin has stated he doesn’t like the word ‘pornstar’, telling the Extraordinary Lives podcast by LADbible TV in 2023: “It’s a strange definition as a title” adding “if you worked in movies, you wouldn’t call yourself a movie-star; you’re an actor.” however a 10.6-inch (27-centimetre) dildo, known as the 'Secret Weapon', was allegedly cast from his penis and is for sale. He stated on the Extraordinary Lives'' podcast that his penis was 10.5 inches.

Martin has stated that there are issues with having a larger penis, such as sitting on it.

Goodwin stated that when attempting to give Martin a blowjob in a scene, she couldn’t do it, stating she felt ‘so incompetent’, only being able to get around the tip of his penis. She stated in another scene when had vaginal sex with Martin, she was ‘fine’, having previously given birth to two children and working with large sex toys. Goodwin stated that in another scene with Martin where they had anal sex, she had poppers under the pillow, stating she had to ‘sniff poppers every two minutes’, describing the scene as ‘an experience’. She stated that afterwards, she got piles.
