Danielle began performing at the age of 8, singing and dancing in choirs, musicals, churches, living rooms, and concert venues. At 14, Danielle started writing original lyrics and melodies, and realized her passion for music as a career. In 2011 Danielle received a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music, where she studied Vocal Performance and Songwriting in Boston, MA and Valencia, Spain. While in Spain, Danielle found her voice through Jazz and Improvisation. Since graduating in 2015, Danielle has co-founded the duo Ark with Alper Tuzcu, and leads her own solo project. Ark traveled to Youbloom Festival in Los Angeles and New York City's Sidewalk Cafe in addition to playing venues throughout Boston including Hard Rock Cafe, Fenmore Grill, and SOWA Summer Market. In August 2016 Ark released its first EP "Lately" which has been featured in music blogs, magazines, newspapers and on radio stations and television networks world-wide. 2017 is off to a busy start for Danielle; she currently works towards a second degree in Music Therapy, teaches music lessons, and records her fist solo EP "Setting Fires" to be released late summer/early fall 2017. Danielle strives to spread positivity and light in her writing, performing, and practice of music therapy.
