Introducing
DANI MILANO
Take a step back in time as the gorgeous songstress Dani Milano tastefully blends sultry vocals and a captivating swing feel in a unique performance.
Originally from Italy, Dani is a London based singer performing classics from the Great American Songbook and the Italian tradition together with uptempo electro-swing originals.
The single "Get Up" by Honky Crew released by ElectroSwingThing Label based in Berlin, is Dani's debut as a vocalist on the electro swing scene; followed by "Hey Sister" a collaboration with Manchester based DJ and Producer Emma Clair for the Swing Sisters project - a collection of feel good Electro Swing music, written and produced by a whole host of incredibly talented female artists.
In 2021, she featured on Ray Gelato's album "Lockdown but not out" on the song "Baciami Piccina"
which led her to sing as a guest vocalist at the album launch party concert at the iconic 100 Club in London.
2022 brings Dani back to the studio to record a four tracks live demo arranged by trumpet player and composer Duncan Fraser. The project is called "Take me Home" including a mix of original songs, jazz/soul and re-arranged italian classics from 1940's, 50's and 60’s. The live set is charged of nostalgic jazz arrangements, together with songs of freedom and tales of self-discovery, romance and redemption, showcasing various musical influences, conferring an appealing fullness and warmth to the overall sound.
A spanking new artist who will seduce and amuse you!
