Dani Richani transforms broken heart into cinematic pop
The Spanish-based Venezuelan artist is an artisan of ethereal songs about heartbreak and empowerment.
Tears, letters we never sent, ice cream and a feeling of deep loneliness. We all sometimes feel our hearts break into small pieces in different situations... be it with a friendship, with a love or with our family, and 99% of the time we handle it in a way in which we sink into that feeling. Dani Richani uses this to be inspired and reconstructed in his first EP entitled La era del adiós.
Hailing from Valencia, Venezuela, and currently based between New York and Madrid, Daniela Richani is an artist who brings to life the pop sounds she grew up with or, as she briefly describes it, “old school Shakira, Julieta Venegas” , to give Latin music a fresh and feminine air . In her first musical production made by producer Carlos Imperatori, the Venezuelan she tells us how a love breakup led her to discover her true self and to rediscover another love: music.
In 2019, Dani began to write all her feelings in her diary to capture everything she carried inside and from there came rhymes and, later, sounds . “I started to write, to sit at the little piano, to make melodies with my voice and to show it to my family, to my friends, like 'Look what I did!' because, for me, it was the only thing that brightened my life”, says the artist in conversation with Indie Hoy.
Little by little, she made progress in her composition process and reconnected with her childhood friends that led her to the Venezuelan musician Rodrigo Gamboa. “He talked to me about the world of music and I began to understand that it is something that he could do. He also taught me basic things to know how the music production process works, everything. Imagine that I knew nothing, absolutely nothing," says Dani, who describes La era del adiós as a way to "honor that time in my life and be able to say goodbye to that old me and start a new stage" and explains that for that's what he wanted "this musical work to tell that story, in that order and to be able to convey that."
