ABOUT ME

I am Danielle. Here is the section where I write about myself and for you to decide if I am enough.  Enough of an artist and talent for you to be sold on me. That is the trick our minds will play, to question ourselves, question if we are enough.

You are enough. Even now at this moment, where what I’ve written before what you’re reading collide here in this medium, you are enough.  Only thing I can “sell” you on is the idea that some just “do” and move through the internal pit of worry about being enough. So here I am in the pit, but I am moving through.

I’m just going to simply say, here is who I am, part of what I do and all of what I love. I’ve always seen myself as a warrior, a poet and a dreamer caught in the romance of life. So, the fragile weapons of music and literature have stolen my heart and thus, what I do, is use them to awaken the depths of humanity, into light, into the enough. 

My current literary work, Shia and the Seeds, is the epic journey of a unlikely warrior and her brood of vanquishers. They must discover and restore the world to color through the seeds, all which bare life. This story came to me in an instant, one that is beyond explanation.

My chorus worship project, which is a collection of songs for the Church entitled, “The Dawn,” is being released in the months ahead. Each song is inspired to be a resource for corporate worship and your personal prayer moments. The songs are made to close in the gap between creator and creation with intentional simplicity.

As a mother of three, a wife to one and a lover of all, my heart has always guided me and to this place I’ve arrived. This is a dream to be able to write from the heart, sing from the heart and live from the heart. So, don’t wake me up, just dream with me by listening, reading and if moved support these projects.

MUSIC
My purpose with my music is to connect you to the one that made you while providing a doorway to the depths of your being that needs healing through worship. This mission, that God has placed before me, is to create a library of music that is written first for the use of corporate worship within the Church. I want to see everyone that listens to this music that flows through me, but is not mine, find themselves disarmed by the presence within the music. May you sing from the heart.
