Artist History
Danni's energy and tenacity has catapulted her from the youth choir of the African Methodist Episcopalian Church in West Philadelphia to holding her own center stage along side R&B veterans like Sister Sledge. That same boundless drive jettisoned her from her dance beginnings in Philadelphia to becoming a featured artist with the internationally renowned Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, performing such tour de forces as the signature solo "Cry".In 1998, Danni followed her heart and returned to music, devoting herself to singing and songwriting. Since leaving one performance stage, she has easily transitioned to another. She is in constant demand providing guest vocals for several acts including Jessica Care Moore and Detroit Read, Greg Tate's Medusa Oblongata, Rhythm Republik, Mother's Favorite Child, Sharief in Burgundy, and the legendary group Sister Sledge, with whom she tours in America and abroad as an "adopted" baby sister. With a clear vision, Danni sought out other artists to assist her in sharing her eclectic style with the world. Her exhaustive search has yielded a group of musicians who, in August of 1999, with Danni as their voice, became SugaBush. Danni Gee & Sugabush have become an MP3Soul staple, hitting number 1 with singles "Watch What You Say", "I Don't Ever" and "Mary". In 2001, Danni was asked, alomg with Jill Scott and The Pharycyde, to be the first artists to appear on BroadBand Talent Net, the internet offshoot of Billboard.com. She recently headlined Sesac's "Writer's on the Storm" at New York's The Cutting Room and can currently be found listed at Divastation.com as a "Diva To Watch". Danni's music has already hit the airwaves in New York, England and South America and you can hear her singing "The Wind Cries Mary" on the compilation, "The Jimi Hendrix Dossier: The Electronica Files", released on Exile Records in the fall of 2002. Her as yet to be titled cd is scheduled for summer 2003 release. |

Press Reviews
Review of "Monster" just what this track is ? a monster! Smart, tight vocal arrangement with superb organ playing and a huge guitar accompaniment make this a must have. Do yourself a favor and listen closely to the meaning behind this power song for the great message ? moreof this should be out there. You have to list your track under a genre and this is listed as ?Soul? (appropriately so) but that?s limiting it ? this crosses many genres and will well be worth your musical education listening to this more than a few times. Review by: WZJN Mixing The Colors XIV mp3.com (SugaBush has reached number one with their original five-song EP on MP3.com for New York City and number five on the North American charts. They consistently stay in the top twenty with singles from their EP and from the CD, "SugaBush Live", recorded in NYC in January 2001). |
