Danny Ocean is heading to Oslo. The Venezuelan singer-songwriter has been invited to perform at the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony on December 10, one of the highest-profile events in the world. The ceremony takes place at 1:00 p.m. CET at Oslo City Hall, where world leaders, Nobel recipients, and influential figures gather to celebrate contributions to global peace.

A Venezuelan Connection

The invitation carries extra significance because this year's Nobel Peace Prize recipient is María Corina Machado, also from Venezuela. Both Danny Ocean and Machado have used their platforms to speak about the social and humanitarian situation in Venezuela, bringing international attention to what's happening in their home country.

The ceremony will bring them together as voices representing a generation of Venezuelans focused on resilience, unity, and hope. Danny's performance will be part of the official program, which each year honors people and organizations working to create a more just and peaceful world.

From Viral Hit to Global Stage

Danny Ocean's music career took off in a big way with "Me Rehúso," a track that became the Latin song with the most weeks on Spotify's Global Top 50. The numbers are wild: over 2 billion streams on Spotify and 1.9 billion views on YouTube. That success led to a deal with Atlantic Records and opened doors for hits like "Dembow" and "Vuelve."

Across his entire career, he's racked up more than 12.4 billion streams. Songs like "Ley Universal," "Volaré," and the multi-platinum "Fuera del Mercado" have helped reshape what Latin music can sound like, blending reggaetón with electronic pop and R&B.

More Than Just Performing

Danny's also made a name for himself as a songwriter. He's contributed to major tracks including Karol G's "Ay Dios Mío" and Reik's "Raptame." His albums (54+1, @dannocean, REFLEXA, and veneqia.) have pushed genre boundaries and shown his range as an artist.

In 2024, he earned two Latin Grammy nominations: one for "Amor" (Best Pop Song) and another for "Caracas en el 2000" with Elena Rose and Jerry Di (Song of the Year).

A Big Year for Danny

2025 has been particularly strong. He scored his second #1 on the Billboard charts with "Imagínate" alongside Kapo. The track passed 250 million combined streams and made it to Spotify's Global Top 50. His first #1 came in 2024 with "Amor."

He also dropped "Vitamina," which debuted in Spotify's Global Top 10, and "Priti" with Sech. This year included performances at Isle of Light, Estéreo Picnic, and Fuego Fuego, with Baja Beach Fest still to come.

Beyond music, Danny became an ambassador for Rabanne's Million fragrance in Mexico and joined Coca-Cola's "Share a Coke" campaign. He released his fourth studio album, Babylon Club (his most commercially successful to date), and launched a Latin American tour to support it.

Using His Platform for More

What makes Danny's Nobel invitation particularly fitting is his work outside of music. He serves as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), showing his commitment to social causes beyond his art.

His appearance at the Nobel ceremony represents more than just a performance slot. It's recognition of how he's used his voice, both literally and figuratively, to bring attention to important issues while building a successful global music career.

The December 10 ceremony will stream globally, giving fans worldwide a chance to see Danny perform on one of the world's most significant stages.
