From the lush layers of guitars, synths and vocals, to the honest lyricism threaded with imagery, it’s a magnetic new direction for daena that fans of Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers alike will love. daena’s songs have been placed on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds” and “Night Pop” editorial playlists and featured on iHeart Radio + Nashville’s Lightning 100. To top it off, she’s currently an official TikTok creator with the It Gets Better Project and has racked up over 26k followers ready to hear her new tunes - all leading up to a new record in 2023. As a queer woman, daena hopes to be a role model for other young people in the community. “It’s important to help normalize all queer relationships and identities,” daena says. “I hope that my music can encourage listeners to be true to who they are - and proud of it - no matter where they are in their journey to self-discovery and love”. Praise for "Electric!": "There are no finishing touches to be made. We are not left wanting. Every daena song is complete in its faultless creation. daena speaks stories into her songs, and it’s made us more empathetic listeners. And better dancers." -The Music Mermaid Photos: Oceanna Colgan
