About

Born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, 20-year-old Danielle Lyn carries her passion for music close to her heart. Her inspirations came early on in her life when her parents exposed her to the works of musical greats, like The Beatles, Elvis and later Aerosmith. Their impact was heavy and it was only a matter of time before music became more than just another thing to listen to.

The 5'1'' singer's big voice was first recognized when she joined the show choir and chorale in high school. These extra-curricular activities are what helped open doors to other "gigs," like performing the National Anthem for high school games.

"It was the reactions I got after singing the anthem that made me realize this was something I just had to do forever," Danielle says. "There's nothing like the feeling you get when you're singing for hundreds of people and having them tell you that they loved it... nothing even comes close."

After high school Danielle chose to further her education at Youngstown State University, but something about school, homework and books just didn't feel right to her. It was almost unnatural, while the constant melodies and lyrics she would hear and envision in her mind made her feel right at home. These melodies and lyrics got in the way of her thoughts. They become so overwhelming that she began to write them down whenever and wherever she possibly could. It was then that she realized that she had to let the artist inside come out. It was obvious that music was what she was put here to do, and from that moment on, music has become a full-time job.

Her current producer, Jason Levis of 10th Street Productions, has allowed her talent to shine through on her soulful-pop single, "Anymore," which has single-handedly created a small buzz about the Youngstown native. Like other smalltown pop-icons that she is often compared to, (Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera), Danielle Lyn is well on her way to becoming a household name.
