Born in California and raised around the world, Dani Desio began her musical journey at an early age. Classically trained on the violin since the age of 5, she started writing and creating her own music in her early teens. She joined the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) in high school and began to develop contacts throughout the industry and found them to be an invaluable resource in the growth of her ability as a musician and writer. After several years of performing for friends and at small venues, she moved to London. There she worked with producer and engineers Mick Dolan, John Broomhall and Matt Clifford, all of whom have credits including Mick Jagger, Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, the Rolling Stones and more, to create her first fully engineered recordings. Growing in popularity, she took herself on the road to Nashville with the hopes of improving her craft. Once in the land of the singer songwriter, she quickly found herself writing and performing with some of the wonderful talents of the local scene. While in Nashville, she finished several more demo sessions and played at a variety of venues. Some of the writers she has worked with include Flower Sumida and Brian Maher ("Findin' A Good Man" by Danielle Peck, "You're Like Coming Home" by Lonestar). As a member of ASCAP, she began her own publishing company, Jade Horse Publishing, for her own music as well as in the hopes of aiding in the development of other talents. Dani is currently living in California with her cats, golden retriever and her guitars.

I have uploaded a new track called 'Find your way home' I was asked to write a track for an organisation called 'Forever Searching' for their official website www.foreversearching.com, who are instrumental in keeping the profiles of missing children high and prevelent in the media.
I would be really interested in your thoughts on the track as it will be heard by a lot of people in the coming months and I want to make sure that it sends a strong messge to its listeners.
