Fusing modern jazz harmony with echoes of appalachia and lilting latin rhythms, Danielle Eva serenades in shades of blue-eyed soul with a compelling sincerity and a side of sass. Whether painting a fresh face on timeless gems of the jazz songbook, or mixing the palettes of folk and funk, Danielle is an intimate storyteller with a voice one can drink in all night. “Road and Moon” (2010 Devour Music), her jazz feature debut, reflects the soulful and breezy style that is keeping her in the international spotlight. She has worked in the top venues of New York, Washington DC, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Istanbul and Bodrum. Danielle is a past winner in the US Billie Holiday Competition, New York’s Jazzmobile, and the Monk Institute’s Jazz Aspen. Danielle shares her time living in New York or Istanbul and is currently performing through-out Asia.
