STILL MISS U - LIVE ACOUSTIC

 

SINGLE - BEAUTIFUL SMILE (2023)- out now 

General 

Sydney based Indie Folk/Pop artist Dani El-Rassi has just released her two heartfelt new singles and music videos for ‘Til You Run Out Of Words’, which was premiered via AAA Backstage. The second recent single was 'Beautiful Smile' which debuted with a captivating Music Video produced by Heaps Stoked Productions. The multitalented songstress has also announced a run of east coast tour dates to celebrate.

Dani El-Rassi is renowned for her anthemic vocals and emotionally charged songwriting. She debuted in 2019 with the release of her single ‘Breathe’ and has since released multiple singles and an EP.

“A true modern classic; velvety, and nostalgic in all the right places. It is a pop-ballad that
appeals to the pain in us all and preaches to the uplifting moments in life.”

- Happy Mag

Since her debut, Dani El-Rassi has played sold-out shows all across Australia, and has performed in 10 different countries around the world. She has shared the stage with the likes of Ben Abraham, Catherine Britt and Hollie Col, whilst playing sets at Tamworth Country Festival, Nimbin Blues N Roots and Soda Fest. Stream Dani's music now!

2021 // Regional Tour // New Music 

21.02.2021

National > Regional Tour

We're officially half way through our NSW Regional tour. I'll be completely honest - this was meant to be a NATIONAL TOUR - a co-headline with my good friend and extremely talented Melbourne Artist Maxon. We spent months doing zoom calls, calling venues around the country, booking our band shows, emailing our band members trying to secure their availability, managing budgets, accommodation, promotion and marketing material, social media and digital marketing, you name it…

A run of shows + A political WIN. 

8 Nov 2020: the day that all the emotions hit at once.

A day that goes down in history, in world politics and beyond. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have taken back power, ending Donald Trump's administration. It is overwhelmingly beautiful - not only have the Democrats won, but America showed up and voted in numbers never before seen, in all history. And the majority of those people, and the majority of the states, elected a leader who supports humanity, the environment, women, people of colour, migrants…

COVID-19 - LET'S CHAT. 

LET'S CHAT COVID

Life is not what it was a few months ago. How are you all coping? I recently sent out a newsletter (sign up via my website) talking about my main coping mechanisms and I shared some resources. 

Make sure you're doing what works for you and don't worry about anything else. It's never easy to re-learn how to exist in this world but we must be grateful for all that we DO have, whilst allowing the bad days to come and go as they need to. It's alright to be struggling right now! I hope you know…

Music - the hype, 2019 recap, life balance, what next? 

Soooo it's been a while. How ya doing?

2019 was the biggest year of my music career yet.

It involved writing, recording and releasing 2 x singles from my debut EP and then the EP itself. It involved upwards of 5 sold out ticketed shows in Sydney alone, as well as NATIONAL TOUR (!!) with my band. I also released a brand new single which is the precursor to an entire album that is in the works.... and I received my first two Internationally recognised reviews by the super-reviewer "Happy Mag".

Debut Release - Behind The Scenes 

BREATHE - DANI EL-RASSI

On 28 June 2019, I released my debut single 'Breathe'. For those of you who don't know me, I have an eclectic mix of passions, but music has been my greatest drive for 20+ years (can't believe I'm old enough to say that, wow).

(Click here to listen) - let me know what you think!

We did the official launch to a SOLD OUT Sydney crowd who SOLD OUT my merch and you could have heard a penny drop in that venue, it was so silent and every ear was listening to every word I was singing and

The Songwriting Process 

Every song I write emerges with an initial feeling. 

Sometimes, it seems like songs just materialise out of thin air and I am just their vehicle into this world. 

Other times, it takes a lot of concentration and piecing together of a puzzle to complete a song. 

For nearly 10 years now, I have been writing down snippets of words, songs, song titles, books, concepts, poems, movies - noting down what they made me feel. 

And then, when the time is right, a melody comes into my mind, or a chord progression, and I go…

Life On The Road 

ain't no glamorous thing. and it sure as hell isn't easy. but god it is fun.
The Journey So Far

For years I've been writing music and dreaming of doing a formal release as an artist with my own brand and band. The lead up to recording this week was like something from the movies. It changed my entire perspective, made me feel accomplished (since I had to save so much to be able to afford the EP) and lit a fire in me that had been waiting to come to life for quite some time.  

Michael Muchow (Moko…
