We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Danielle Evans. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Danielle below.

Alright, Danielle thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

My most meaningful project apart from my newer releases I’m working on would have to be my Debut Album “Breakthrough.” All my projects I work on I’m super proud of and mean so much but this project was the most challenging, overwhelming, emotional, anxiety-ridden, heart-wrenching yet longest project I’ve done to date. This album took over two years in the making. From early 2020 to mid 2022. It goes through everything I went through for those two years, how I was feeling. It tells a story from start to finish. Through crippling anxiety, feeling like an outcast, deepest darkest parts of depression, losing my faith and shocking gut-wrenching grief to finding the light in the pain and finding the strength to keep moving forward. Breakthrough tells a story. My story and I’m forever proud for being able to turn my own pain into pure beauty with the magic of songwriting and creating art. Art that not only is helping others feel less alone but it’s art that I will forever cherish.

Danielle, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Well firstly, My name is Danielle Evans. I’m a signed independent artist from a small town in lower part of Michigan. I’ve been professionally doing music for almost five years now. My genre of music I create is Pop-Contemporary and I love being able to tell my story through my songwriting. I’m a big mental health advocate and I write a lot about mental health, it’s something I’m continuously battling with but to be able to bring awareness to such a shy away topic and to be able to help others with my music and personal story is something that still touches me deeply and I will continue to do.

What sets me apart from others is I’m more into storytelling with my music. I’m not your average musician. I love acoustics and ballads. I’m all for telling a story, from start to finish and the message I give with my music is a message of light and hope. For a brighter tomorrow, for someone to find the strength in themselves to keep going even when their in the most darkest place. I share my own journey through my music and I think that’s something I’m so grateful and blessed to be able to do

I’m most proud of myself for continuing to stick on this journey. I’ve had my lowest lows and was ready to give up, I’ve doubted my music full heartedly but I’ve kept going and now that I’m at the place where I’m at today. It still feels surreal, I’m forever proud of myself and the art I continue to make each and everyday.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect would have to be creating my audience and having the fanbase I have. It’s slowly growing more everyday, but the people that have stuck beside me from day one mean so much to me its hard to describe.

What really touches me the most and feels so rewarding is getting to privilege to hear stories that my fans tell me when listening to my music, telling me how much I’ve helped them and what my music means to them. I’m still taken back by that overtime because I’m exactly like that still with all my favorite artists. Apart from being an artist I have musicians who I love and deeply adore and having someone feel that way about me let alone say that my music has helped them through their own life path is something that is so inspiring and gives me so much joy to keep creating the work I’m not only deeply proud of but so incredibly passionate about.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

One word. Hope. Hope is my mission throughout my journey. The message I want to spread is hope, strength and light. Shedding the light on such heavy topics including mental health. I’ve felt so unseen and struggled so hard to find my voice throughout my life but now in my early 20’s I want to inspire my fanbase and let them know that it’s okay to not to be okay. That you don’t have to be silent or forced away anymore. Even when you feel like giving up. Don’t. You’re not done yet, your story is just getting started and whatever path you led on, you’ll be okay.

With my music I want to give my fans an outlet. I want to give them a safe place to be able to feel a little less alone in this world. I want them to know that they’ll never be alone and that we all fight the same battles, we may have different stories but everyone is here just fighting to get to the same place we all want to be. In the light. In the bright, safe, strong light. Where we feel happy, strong, carefree, safe but at peace with ourselves and our past. Rather it’s mental health, trauma, body image, whatever it is. We all can let go and be free, and I want that as my main goal with my music and songwriting.
