Danielle's Story
Danielle (Dani) Zanoni
Danielle Zanoni is a North Jersey-based singer, songwriter, performer, and vocal coach.
She has been singing ever since she can remember.
Music has always played a prominent part in Danielle's life. Growing up, Disney Channel and American Idol were TV staples, along with family traditions of attending Broadway shows and concerts. Some of her favorite childhood memories involve her karaoke machine and performing “dinner theater” for her family. From the beginning, Danielle always knew her path would lead her down a journey heavily involved in music.
At the age of 10, her grade school music teacher Mrs. VanSickle noticed Danielle's natural talent for singing in class, recommending to her parents that she begin voice lessons. She has been a part of countless choirs, theater, and she has released thirteen original songs to date under her artist name “Dani Zanoni” with 100k+ streams across all streaming platforms.
Danielle has been performing around the Tri-state area for almost a decade & is highly sought after at countless venues playing live solo (Dani Zanoni), as a duo (DnA), and as a band (Dani Zanoni & Co). Danielle’s popularity and vast experience in many diverse genres, has resulted in her performing over a thousand gigs. She has rich experience in collaborating, songwriting, masterclasses, auditioning, studio recording, and live performance.
Throughout her journey, her craft has been nurtured by amazing mentors including studying Music Industry and Music Performance at Ramapo College of New Jersey. Her studies began at a young age, but her most impressive mentors include vocal coaches Zuke Smith of Zuketunes LLC, Lisa Lutter of Ramapo College, and UK based Julie Miles of Vocal Ovation. Danielle also has Shawn Reams of North Jersey Guitar to thank for solidifying her love of teaching voice, and hiring her for her first position as a vocal coach. With her passion to expand her teaching career and to enable her to offer the highest standard of vocal technique and performance coaching, Danielle embarked in a teacher training program with the Global Modern Vocal Training Program (MVT) and became a Certified MVT Vocal Coach in 2023.
Danielle's mission as a vocal coach is to help singers find their voice and individuality through technique, planning, and passion. Danielle aims to provide all her students with a safe space where they feel comfortable to express themselves freely in their lessons. She teaches her students to not only love and take care of their voices - but themselves as well.
Music has and will always be a comfort and escape for Danielle. It's her way of expressing herself. Throughout her life, the significance she felt in her own training with beloved mentors, has enabled her to really connect with her students more quickly and effectively. Her belief is that singing is not about trying to sound like anyone else, it's about learning from your idols and implementing their techniques into your specific sound. We're not meant to be anyone else but ourselves. Everybody has a voice—work with Danielle to discover yours.
