Danni’s appreciation of music started at a very young age. She began flute lessons in the fourth grade and two years later decided that she needed a challenge. That challenge was a double reeded instrument called the oboe. She traveled to Philadelphia on weekends to study at Settlement School. She was also a member of the Bucks County Youth Orchestra, which performed in Austria and Germany. Along with the flute and oboe, she learned to play the piano. She continued playing the oboe at Monmouth University where she majored in music.As much as she enjoyed these instruments, Danni soon discovered that her real love was song writing/singing. She grew up in a household that loved to sing. Most holiday dinners ended with the family around the piano harmonizing to music from every era. Her mother and older sister loved show tunes and the three of them often re-enacted scenes from Broadway musicals. At the age of ten she knew the entire score from Les Miserables. The first time she actually got to see the show she was hoping that they would need a replacement for Cosette and that she would step into the part. She was very disappointed to learn that understudies existed for this reason.As a child Danni spent many summers at Performing Arts Camp. One year they were doing a performance of Oliver. When she learned that only boys were being considered for Oliver, she aggressively campaigned for the part. Due to her tenacity, she got her way. Being Oliver led to her being involved in many plays during her school years.In college she started recording at a studio called The Justice Movement Recordings, which was run and owned by Khaya Malabie. Khaya often told Danni she was not like other talented artists. He made her feel that she always had more to offer the industry. Working with so many different labels, engineers, producers, and other musical talents people started seeing her in a different light than the industry was used to. She began helping out others with lyrics and started to lay down her own song.She began interning for Atlantic Records in 2007 for the Marketing Department. She saw first hand how much work the labels do in order to get the artist at their concerts, book events, PR the songs, and publicize music. She learned so many things during that internship but deep down always knew she wanted to be the artist, not work for the artist.Steve Sola from Plain Truth Ent. produced her track for "I Want You". Steve Sola has been in the music business for over 20 years. The first night he met Danni he told her immediately she was “star” quality. He pushed Danni's ability to the fullest and told her to never stop singing. He shared with her many stories of the struggle it takes to become an artist and let her in on the many great factors it also shares. Both of them being witty Italians always had many laughs during studio time. After numerous conversations about writing a song together they took a shot of tequila, cheers to music and happiness, and began writing “I Want You” at that very moment. Danni always said it is so hard to explain to someone you care for, that you only want them so this song was perfect for her. Danni wrote Own the Club and it was produced by CK Kinchen and Engineered by Sony BMG's Keith aka Killah.Music is not just what Danni loves to do. It is who she has become over the past 15 years of her life. She always says how she has been single for years because she can’t find anyone that she loves as much as her first love-music. Not only is she an artist, but someone who is always willing to help other people in the music business.
