The New York music maker talks songwriting, early days and running a label.

 

She's a '90s Kid

Danz also admitted to Blink-182 being the first concert she ever went to (with her mom). And while she revealed this piece of info, she's also amazed that the '90s have become the throwback decade everyone looks toward.

"It’s so weird that late '90s stuff and early 2000s stuff is becoming ironic," she said. "So I’ll walk into a coffee shop in Williamsburg, and I’ll hear songs that I listened to or remember listening to in elementary school. But I’m happy. I loved that decade.”

 

 

She Was a Music Blogger

“I started blogging when I was 15," she said. "I’d come home from school. My dad wasn’t strict, but my mom was. My parents were divorced, and I lived with my mom and stepdad. They never really let me do anything. So I’d always be on the internet all the time. I would pirate music, and now there’s Spotify so no one pirates music really. But then a release would come out before the street day, and it’d go up on blogs and everything. I would find music before it was released and put it up."

 

And This Opened Her Up to DJing

"DJs I met through blogging," she revealed. "When I turned 18 and moved to the city, and went to college, I reached out to them through my blog and said, ‘Hey, I want to DJ.’ And I’d guest DJ at bars and stuff till I was 22. I was DJing all the time. I think DJing influenced how I make music because I realized what songs everybody would dance to. Sometimes, I would play, and people would go to the bar and get a drink. And other times I’d play, people would forget their drinks and dance. All of that influenced my music.”
