DANI is an emerging country artist redefining modern roots music through deeply relatable storytelling, global influence, and authentic performance. Shaped by her Latin-Canadian heritage and a formative year at the University of Edinburgh, her sound bridges country, rock, Americana, and roots, pairing emotional depth with strong commercial appeal.

In May 2024, Kobalt Music Publishing requested the song during a Nashville pitch session, highlighting early industry recognition and momentum. Known for dynamic live performances and genuine audience connection, DANI continues to grow a loyal and expanding fan base. Her upcoming single, “Hey There Superman,” will be released in June 2026, supported by live performances across Canada. With proven international traction, strong songwriting credentials, and a compelling live presence, DANI is a standout addition to any festival lineup and a powerful fit for the Departure Music Festival stage.
