“American singer Danielle Helena breathes life into her music, spreading the love with her sultry voice and pouring her heart & soul into her beautiful RnB sound. ”
Oakland-based singer/songwriter Danielle Helena has been creating music and performing all her life. As a child of 90's R&B and her parents' "oldies" collection, her sound is the lovechild of many genres--the heart of it is soul, and there is always a rhythm with an essence of blues. She tries to not let the idea of genre influence her writing, but the song structure often follows a pop music format. Some tunes are reminiscent of Dionne Farris or Des'ree, but she would tell you her favorites are Sade and Amel Larrieux. Tracks from her debut album, Like Sunrise (2016), have over 500,000 streams and 39,000 downloads worldwide, and she has created a community of supporters by selling homemade products at shows and online to raise money for creating and recording. After a recent Humans of New York feature, she now has a beautiful community of over 20,000 followers on Instagram, and is currently gearing up to record her next EP with her band.
DEBUT ALBUM - LIKE SUNRISE (2016)
Let life move you, transform you, and take you to the darkest space. Darkness may often be a blessing in disguise. Fear not the tunnel, and embrace the struggle, for at the end is a sunrise. Enjoy the journey.
DEBUT MIXTAPE - HER AFTERMATH (2014)
HER AFTERMATH is a compilation of four Dr. Dre beats set to my lyrics, and while each song maintains its original title, the tracks stray from their original content and take on my perspective. I listened to the beats and let the rhythms inspire new stories. These are my stories.
DEBUT SINGLE - “POETRY” (2013)
The song that reminded me to choose happiness. This is simple music that feels good...
“Danielle’s “Float” is a smooth, R&B-inflected track that could give Floetry a run for its money.”
