Danielle Oliver

About Me

With an Austrian mother and American father, Danielle Oliver grew up speaking German in the quaint ski town, Whitefish, Montana, and refers to Vienna as her second home. She first sat down at the piano at age 6, wrote her first song on Valentine's Day at age 11, and with the support of a musical family, studied classical music into college. She finally diverted paths to create music from the heart, often tantalizing and brutally honest. Using her creative writing degree, Danielle's lyrics are often complex, yet personally touching. She mixes the reality of life's circumstances, her father's passing, and love with emotional musical phrasing and technical piano skill. When not playing live at Los Angeles venues like Room 5 or Genghis Cohen, she can be found playing back up for musicians at Hotel Cafe. Currently, Danielle is compiling and perfecting songs for her debut release EP, to be out 2009 which will include a few of the uploaded rough tracks: "Casualty of Me" and "Will I Like You?".. This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
