A DANI DEASE BIOGRAPHY
This Native South Carolinian is a rare talent. Fresh off her Nashville showcase at CMA Fan Fest, she is in the process of releasing her second EP.
Her first EP, “Brave” depicts her drive to succeed and live her dream. Her current radio hit, “Mojo Back” sums up her determination to move on with her career after a diagnosis of Alopecia and the loss of all her hair. Instead of hiding her condition under a wig, she chose to remain positive and to be a role model for others. Her message is that “it’s okay to be different.”
Several music charts, both in the U.S. and internationally, have recognized her music. She was #1 on She Wolf Radio for two weeks and has been on many other country charts over the last year.
“Musically my influences are Carrie Underwood, Demi Lovato, and Ariana Grande. I’m also a big fan of Adele.” Dani credits the help of some very talented people to get her where she is today. Kent Slucher and James Cook from Luke Bryan’s Band played for previous album. She’s also working with producer/guitarist, Darin Favorite, who has helped my other talented artists.
“Whether it is a festival for 10,000 people or a showcase for 20, I love sharing my music and creating memories.” Dani sums up her philosophy like this; “I want to touch listener’s lives one person at a time.”
The Partners at TSE Entertainment recognized her talent right off and were delighted by Dani’s and her management’s decision to put her booking in our hands.

AND HERE'S MORE
Dani, a life-long resident of Rock Hill, South Carolina, “officially” began her career at 12 years of age performing a New Year’s Eve party for about 100 kids at Kate’s Skating Rink in the her hometown. This pre-teen performance helped develop her love and aspirations to be a professional recording artist. “For years after that party younger kids would tell me that I was their first concert! It felt great to touch lives through music.”

Dani went on to provide a more in-depth description of the early days of her career. “I have always been interested in music and singing. Growing up I always sang in church and at festivals. I participated in the American Talent Showcase as a side hobby. The event involved modeling, singing and dancing.” Dani got her first real singing deal at the age of 12. “I got signed to a record label close to my hometown in Charlotte, North Carolina.

A few years later Dani met Julian Sundby and eventually signed with his label Sunjewel Records. She described what that meant to her career emergence. “At the age of 16 was when I really began to take things serious with music and make it become a career. I love connecting with the audience and to have the power to make them feel good/happy is what makes me happy.

When asked who her musical inspirations were, Dani gave credit to several current popular artists. “Musically my influences were Carrie Underwood, Demi Lovato, and Ariana Grande. Their voices are phenomenal. I have also always been a big fan of Adele.” Dani also noted that she has been fortunate to work with some very talented people and credited them for helping her get to where she is today. “Kent Slucher and James Cook from Luke Bryan’s band played the majority of the tracks for my previous album. I also am working with producer/guitarist, Darin Favorite, who has worked with many other talented artists.”

Dani has also been recognized on several music charts, both in the United States and internationally. She was #1 on She Wolf Radio for two weeks, and has been recognized on many other country charts throughout the past year.

AN UNEXPECTED TWIST
However, just when it seemed that all was going well, both in her life in general and her music career, things took an unexpected twist. Suddenly Dani starting losing her long, gorgeous hair. A trip to the doctor resulted in some traumatic news. She was diagnosed with Alopecia. This can lead to hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere. In most cases, hair falls out in small, round patches about the size of a quarter. In many cases, the disease does not extend beyond a few bare patches. However, for Dani the news was even more devastating as she was identified with Alopecia Universalis, which is the total loss of hair on the scalp, face, and body. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, this form of Alopecia only occurs in 5% of persons afflicted with the condition.

Given this news, many would only look at the negative side. Dani, however has taken the situation and made the most of it. “It wasn’t until I had already lost half of my hair that I found out I had alopecia. I had a tiny bald spot on my hairline in April of this year and by the end of May I decided to donate the rest of my hair (about 30%) and start all over.

When asked how she felt about the condition and its effects on her, Dani made her optimistic outlook evident. “Of course, nobody wants to lose all their hair involuntarily. I had so much hair, and was often known for it. It was devastating. Especially with the lifestyle of always being in the public eye or being up on stage performing. Alopecia is strictly just hair loss, and unfortunately mine was induced by stress. There have been some successful cases where the hair grows back in, but I have Alopecia Universalis, which is the worst form. I do have hope that it will come back someday, I just need to chill out! Haha! It has been positive and negative. The negatives are obvious; lack of femininity, stares, and not being able to do anything different with it or dress it up. However, I believe the positives outweigh the bad. I feel like I can be a role model or someone to look up to for people that may have similar insecurities. I want girls (and boys) to know that it is okay to be different, and we don’t have to cover up our “flaws” just because society thinks we should. I want people to believe in themselves and for them to know there is always hope and I want them to feel comforted by my choice to go ‘wig-less’.”

NATIONAL ANTHEM
On November 29, she performed the National Anthem prior to the start of both the Women’s and Men’s Basketball Games at Florida SouthWestern State College. She was even a featured singer in a USA Today article for her rendition of the National Anthem. On December 3rd, she and the band performed at the Florida Everblades Hockey Team Pre-game Tailgate Party. She has opened up for Thompson Square, The Eli Young Band, and Eric Paslay. She has also been a showcased artist at the Hard Rock in Nashville.

She explains what each event means to her. “As of now each performance in my mind is a big performance, each one exceeds the last. So it’s always changing!”

“Obviously, music is very important to me, however, so is my family who are my biggest fans. Other than family, music will always be my first priority no matter what. If I ever was offered to play/sing somewhere I would take it. My family is my greatest support system. I honestly don’t know where I’d be without them."

DETERMINATION
As anyone can see, Dani is determined to take her music career to the next level in spite of any obstacles that may arise. There is no doubt this young rising star will continue to climb the charts in the days, months, and years ahead. However, no matter how large a star she becomes Dani remains grounded. She sums up her philosophy like this, “I want to touch listener’s lives one person at a time."

"Whether it is a festival for 10,000 people or a showcase for 20, I love sharing my music and creating memories. I’m a small town girl ready to take on the world. I grew up in Rock Hill wanting to sing and entertain audiences around the world. My EP, ‘Brave,’ captured my drive to succeed. The uplifting album starts with title track ‘Brave,' an empowering song about living my dreams.. Whether it’s being brave, laid back, or loving someone completely, the album shows the many sides of my outgoing personality. For myself being an honest and positive role model is important."

Her EP "Brave" is available on iTunes.
