My Story

   Hey everyone! Thanks for visiting my website. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
   I am currently a senior at Wellesley College, majoring in Environmental Studies. Aside from classes, I am the the president of Students United For Animal Rights on campus, the co-president of the college's Slow Food chapter, and I work with the Director of Sustainability. Wellesley is an amazing place, and what I have learned in and outside the classroom has been invaluable. During my down time, I like writing music and learning cool songs, playing out at the Pub on campus, around Boston and Connecticut (getting to meet my fans is awesome), hanging out with my friends, being an adventurous outdoorswoman, cooking, eating great food, and cuddling with my dog Gingy. :)
   When I was 10 I started taking classical piano lessons. I have carried the six years of training with me, as I taught myself guitar when I was 13. A year later, I was writing songs. My true inspiration came from The Beatles. I still can't get enough of them! A 60's girl at heart, I've found my roots in old school pop-rock with a twist of hippie flare. I listen to so many different genres of music and artists, from singer-songwriter and reggae, to rock alternative and bluegrass. All of this music influences my own originality and personal style, so I try to keep an open mind... and an open ear!
   Throughout my high school years, I balanced sports across all seasons, working a part-time job, and volunteering with my new found love of music and writing. I was extremely lucky to lay down a few tracks and work with Anthony Resta, a professional and well-established producer to make my first EP, released in 2006. That opened a door to more writing, even more studio time, and eventually a full length album released in 2008 called "Danielle". And I cannot forget Karyadi Sutedja - studio engineer extraordinare!

   I am proud to be a Zip Celebrity Artist, where a portion of my music sales go to charity. The last 2 summers I have supported and played for Are You Dense at their annual fundraiser, a cutting edge non-profit to educate women about Breast Cancer. Check them out on my events page
   Aside from raising Breast Cancer awareness and prevention, I remain extremely passionate about my goal of being a philanthropist to promote animal rights and environmental welfare. Through my musical pursuits, I am committed to seeing my vision become a reality.
   I am blessed to have this opportunity and am eager to graduate to fulfill my dream of sharing my music with the world and making it a better place.

   Peace and love,
   Danielle
