In 2010, DANi began her professional career as a touring keyboardist and background vocalist for Cee Lo Green in his all-girl backing band, Scarlet Fever. What was only supposed to be a short promotional tour turned into over a year’s worth of concerts and expeditions. DANi appeared on The Tonight Show with David Letterman, Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, Jools Holland (twice), Jimmy Kimmel, Ellen, Colbert Report, Good Morning America, and Lopez Tonight just to name a few. She has shared London’s Wembley Arena stage with The Foo Fighters, shared festivals bills and stages with Weezer, Sublime, Eminem, Stevie Wonder, Neyo, and Big Boi (from Outkast), and even opened for Prince at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Following Cee Lo, DANi landed gigs as keyboardist and background vocalist for Interscope’s, Imagine Dragons, and Disney sensation Bridgit Mendler, who she performed and toured with for several months throughout 2011 and 2012. In 2012, DANi also successfully completed The New Evolution World Tour with K-Pop Sensation, 2NE1, performing 15 shows throughout the summer and fall in South Korea, North America, Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore. In December 2012, she played her first show as keyboardist for Beyoncé at the Wynn in Las Vegas on New Years Eve and continued to perform with Beyoncé in the Superbowl XLVII halftime show, which was televised to over 50 million viewers. DANi successfully completed five legs of the Mrs. Carter World Tour in 2013-2014 spanning 24 countries (throughout Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and New Zealand), 65 cities, and whopping 107 performances. She has appeared on television with Beyoncé for the Gucci sponsored Chime for Change event and has several cameos on Beyonce’s music video, “Blow”, from her record-breaking self- titled release, BEYONCE.
In 2015, DANi began playing keyboards and singing background vocals for Electronic-Soul artist, Gallant. While performing with Gallant, DANi has had the opportunity to tour and perform with songwriting legend, Sufjan Stevens; R&B star, John Legend; and the legendary “Kiss From A Rose” singer, SEAL. Currently, DANi is touring the world as keyboardist and backing vocalist for the soul band, Rhye.
Throughout DANi’s touring career, her aspirations of being her own artist have only strengthened and deceloped. She wrote her first song when she was five years old and has always had a knack for beautiful melodies. DANi won VH-1’s Save the Music award for Song of the Year in 2004. She has also been collaborating for several years with House Music legend, DJ Jesse Saunders, and has released several songs including “Sunshine” and “Kaleidescope” with him.
