Danielle's remarkable journey in the entertainment industry began at the tender age of six, when she started her career as a singer and stage/screen actress, having previously explored the world of modeling with Ford Models since the age of three. By the time she was seven, she had already become a regular performer at various notable venues in New York City, including the iconic Studio 54, where she showcased her rock and jazz skills at several events. Her talent and dedication led her to play the role of "Norma Jean" in the pre-Broadway performances of the musical "Marilyn - An American Fable".
As her career progressed, Danielle had the opportunity to record on Diana Ross' album "Swept Away" and the soundtrack for the 1983 film "Eddie and the Cruisers". She also shared the stage with some of her rock idols at Live Aid, a historic event held at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, and twice delivered electrifying rock 'n' roll solos to a packed and enthusiastic crowd at the legendary Apollo Theatre in New York City, earning her a spot on the popular television program "Showtime at the Apollo" in 1987.
Throughout her teenage years, Danielle received widespread critical acclaim for her performances off-Broadway and on screen. At the tender age of 15, she was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for her Broadway debut performance in the original Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Aspects of Love", a notable achievement that was further recognized when she took the stage at the Tony Awards ceremony.
