Worsnop co-founded Asking Alexandria in 2008 alongside guitarist Ben Bruce. The band quickly gained traction in the metalcore scene with their debut album, Stand Up and Scream, released in 2009. This album was characterized by its heavy breakdowns, electronic elements, and Worsnop's powerful screams and melodic singing. It helped establish the band as a force within the genre, and Worsnop's dynamic vocal abilities were a significant factor in this rise.
Following the success of their debut, Asking Alexandria released Reckless & Relentless in 2011. This album marked a shift towards a more rock-oriented sound while retaining their metalcore roots.

During this period, he explored different genres, showcasing his versatility as an artist. His solo work, particularly the album The Long Road Home, delved into country and blues influences, demonstrating his ability to adapt and excel in various musical styles.
In a surprising turn of events, Worsnop rejoined Asking Alexandria in 2016. The band's self-titled album, released in 2017, marked his return and featured a more mature sound. Songs like "Into the Fire" and "Alone in a Room" highlighted Worsnop's refined vocal abilities and the band's evolution. This reunion was well-received by fans and critics alike, reaffirming Worsnop's integral role in the band's identity.
Danny Worsnop's journey with Asking Alexandria has been marked by growth, experimentation, and resilience.
