My Story

---

Hello, and welcome! My name is Dani Sven, just your local hippie, artist, and musician. I am about three years into this crazy journey and I'm grateful to be on it with you. 

I didn’t grow up around people playing any instruments really , but I definitely grew up around some pretty cool people, with some pretty awesome taste in music, which is where my journey began I suppose. My love and appreciation for music and art has only grown with each year.

I started with alto saxophone in fifth grade, and then continued on in jazz band as well, where I played tenor and baritone saxophone. The case to the baritone was almost as big as me at the time, lol ! 

I always loved to sing, so years later I picked up guitar needing an instrument I could sing along to. Mostly self taught on guitar, it is a hell of an instrument that is for sure, I’ve learned that it’s a life long journey of learning, and to let that be fun ! 

In 2021 I got serious about my passion and started “Get Gig Ready” coaching with local music and performing legend, Chad LaMarsh. Through these sessions, my artistry grew quickly and immensely , in the spring of 2022, I was fortunate enough to be given the position as lead vocalist in The Chad LaMarsh Band, and its been one of my favorite things to do ever since. The opportunity to work alongside some of the most unbelievably talented artists in the area is a blessing. 

Woot Wooot !

My first gig ever was New Years Eve 2021, (bold move, I don’t even know how I got through it to be honest!) about six months later I began booking up my schedule for the first time at local restaurants in southern New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts. Ive played so many awesome places since then, and I’m always looking to add more, that is for sure. 

Every show is different, sometimes the anxiety is through the roof, and other times I’m so present nothing could feel more in alignment, putting myself out there has taught me vulnerability, patience with myself, and to just keep pushing forward no matter what, the show must go on!

Creating in general is extremely important to me; I’m finally getting serious about my songwriting, and designing my first EP. I also create handmade art pieces whenever I have the time. Woodburning, painting, crocheting, etc. , I’m hoping to have some of these featured on my website, available for purchase, very soon! Support local !

Co-creation is what it’s all about, I’ve met so many amazing people along the way, and I have been taught, that it is a privilege to do these shows, a privilege to spread whatever happiness and joy we can with some fun tunes, and some awkward and cheesy banter at times. 

Thank you for your support and for joining in on this crazy, creative journey with me ! 

Dani Sven :)
