Pianist and Vocalist Danielle
Based in South Africa, pianist and vocalist Danielle began playing the piano at age four and started formal classical training at eight. Since 2005, Danielle has played in numerous bands, including representing TUT at the Soweto Jazz Festival in 2007 with her funk band Police To Meet You. She also secured a recording contract and national battle-of-the-bands victory with the aforementioned band, and performed at many TUKS (University of Pretoria) events and other festivals with them. She gained fame as the keyboardist and keytar player in the all-girl phenomenon Heels Over Head, which won the national Yamaha Young Talent Competition and was nominated for a 2011 SAMA award.
