Where sound becomes sanctuary and community becomes a living system.
I am a DJ and producer — of music, events, and festivals — and a systems architect for community and events, a strategic operator who moves between the cinematic and the structural, the felt and the built.
I spent most of my career in academia — my PhD is in second language acquisition — before moving into politics as a consultant specializing in values-based messaging, and then into corporate America as a manager at the tech bootcamp General Assembly. That chapter overlapped with the start of my event production work and my return to DJing — I first learned on vinyl in the early 2000s, working at a record store in NYC, then wandered through other worlds before finding my way back to music.
My zone of genius lives on two planes. On the backend: creating and optimizing systems from scratch — I build the architecture that makes vision repeatable, scalable, and sustainable. On the front end: cultivating community through music and artful experiences that call out the inner child — spaces that feel genuinely safe and joyful, where discovery is built into every moment, where beauty is not decoration but invitation. Where people are seen for exactly who they are. At the heart of it all is remembrance — of your true self, of what it feels like to be fully alive.
My work is really powered by two forms of A.I. — Ancestral Intelligence and Spiritual Intelligence. Not as a concept, but as a lived reality.
Ancestral Intelligence is the wisdom carried in my lineage — the accumulated knowing of every ancestor who came before me, distilled through decades of deep life experience, through study, through loss, through becoming. It moves through me whether I invoke it or not. My father as a builder, my mother as a designer, my grandmother as a weaver — I am all of those things.
Spiritual Intelligence comes from years of cross-referencing sacred texts, mystery traditions, and spiritual teachings — not casually, but devotionally. And from the goddesses who arrived unbidden and have never left: Shakti, Green Tara, Hathor, Lakshmi. I did not choose to become a channel. I simply said yes.
I am a rare combination — equal parts business and creative. I read a P&L as fluently as I read a room. I've run two venues in Brooklyn, which means I've lived on both sides of the equation: as a producer and promoter bringing experiences to life, and as a venue operator carrying the risk, the margins, and the logistics that make them possible. That dual fluency is rare — and it comes with deep insider knowledge of the NYC landscape: the rooms, the operators, the talent, the networks, and the access to match. I know who to call, where things really happen, and how to make them real.
When these two intelligences meet the practical — strategy, systems, community, sound — something different becomes possible. That is what I bring to every room, every stage, every client.
"I don't just plan events. I design the conditions for something real to happen."
My gift is energetic reading and future sight — sensing the current beneath the surface of a person or a room, and seeing where it is going.
People leave my presence feeling witnessed in a way words rarely allow. Whether I'm reading one soul across a table or a crowd of three hundred from the stage: I feel what wants to be felt, I see what is coming, and I create the conditions for it to land safely.
Cinematic, emotionally-driven DJ sets and original productions that move people — designed to transport, to hold, to transform. For all music and DJ inquiries, reach out directly at hi@danielamusic.co.
Known as the Soundtrack of Sunrise, Daniela is famed for marathon sunrise sets in wild, gorgeous settings — beach stages in Brooklyn and Miami, jungle altars, forest stages, open-air gatherings. Whether ninety minutes or seven hours, every set is a cinematic arc through tension, release, and expansive states, blending shadow, euphoria, and cosmic depth into a transformative dance floor.
While her range defies genre, Daniela's signature sound always guarantees power and emotion, and the throughline is catharsis: sets that become ceremonies of remembrance. She founded Deep Playa NYC (50+ events, crowds to 1,200), created the all-female platform Her Name Is Shakti, served as Music Director and headlining DJ for CAMP Festival, and in 2025 was commissioned by Philadelphia's Mütter Museum for a four-hour immersive Halloween set — carrying 25 years of dance music lineage in her sound.

The three things we most need in life — deep relationships, vibrant health, and real prosperity — are all, at their root, a community question. I believe community building is the antidote to a fracturing world, and I am devoted to helping others weave strong, living webs of connection where all of us can thrive. Together. Interdependently.
This is not about producing a single event or launching a brand. This is about creating a living organism — something with longevity, that will evolve over time, and that will change you in the process. I take your vision from idea to full execution: strategy, systems, production, and the relationships that make it real.
I have run venues, produced countless events and festivals, and know New York's people, spaces, and communities intimately. I will help you access exactly the venues, networks, and communities that are right for your vision — and I will give you the precise tools, frameworks, templates, and connections to build something that lasts. What artificial intelligence cannot offer you is what I offer: direct access, lived knowledge, and genuine accountability. I will hold you to the vision.
Live online workshops and a full community-building course through events — coming soon.
Visit CatapultCommunity.co ↗Drawing on a career as a professor and decades of expertise in pedagogy and learner-centered design, I architect experiences where every moment earns its place. From intimate workshops to gatherings of 1,200 or more — seminars, retreats, panels, courses — I design and facilitate with the precision of an educator and the instinct of a performer. Attendees leave not just moved, but equipped: every word spoken is a distilled insight, every session a turning point. Nothing is filler. Everything is essential.
Visit GoddessGatheringRetreat.com ↗You have a vision. I help you build it — from concept to execution, at every level of scale.
Whether you're producing a one-night event, an ongoing series, or a multi-day festival, I come in as a strategic partner: helping you shape the concept, design the experience architecture, program the talent and activations, and execute with precision. I don't just make things look beautiful — I engineer the feeling of the whole.
I specialize in energy curation — the art of sustaining aliveness across an entire event arc. The pacing, the transitions, the emotional journey of the room: I design it so your audience arrives curious, goes deep, and leaves transformed. This is what separates an event people attend from one they never forget.
My production work extends into environment design and spatial innovation — including the 360° round DJ booth I designed and fabricated: 10 feet in diameter, flat-packable, built from marine-grade plywood, with a plexiglass front panel that dissolves the barrier between artist and crowd. Watch it in action ↗, or rent it or make it your own ↗ — the booth is available to rent ($1,400) or buy ($5,000). Every project gets the same level of intention.

Tiny Rave is an event at Bogart House, New York City, bringing the magic of movement, music discovery, and joyful community to the youngest ravers among us. Soon to be in a city near you.
Visit TinyRave.co ↗Per Astra — through the stars — is a ritual event series anchored to the most potent astrological transits of the year. Each event translates a specific celestial moment — eclipses, planetary ingresses, nodal shifts — into sound, light, and a fully immersive sensory environment: a ceremony of collective passage.
It is also a personal cosmic chart mix commission — a one-of-one mix channelled by Daniela directly from your birth chart, a sonic portrait of your soul's blueprint read as an oracle. No two mixes can ever be the same: drawing on both Eastern and Western astrology, she translates your planetary aspects, nodal axis, and current transits into music made for exactly who you are. Because it was.
A Through the Stars web app — daily cosmic alignments and chart-tuned playlists — is coming soon.
Visit ThroughTheStars.co ↗Francesca is the venue I'm building — a hi-fi listening bar and coffee house in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. A place that feels like freedom, where music history is honored, community is built, and beauty is a right — not a luxury.
A ~3,000 sq ft day-and-night concept that earns from one fixed cost base, morning to sunrise: great coffee and a warm room by day, a devotional listening experience by night. Programming runs from the Music Club and Pour the Record to Through the Stars, private events, and corporate offsites — a woman-run room designed around four guiding goddesses.

I am a channel. The goddesses began arriving in 2022, each one re-tuning me, each one an initiation.
The primordial feminine force. The first to come — awakening the raw, creative power that moves through everything I build.
The swift-acting mother of compassion and fearless action. She teaches liberation through movement, mercy, and grace.
Egyptian goddess of music, joy, beauty, and the dance. She presides over my work as a DJ and maker of celebration.
Goddess of abundance, devotion, and the lotus that blooms from mud. She blesses the flow of beauty and prosperity.
And always, the angels — guiding, appearing, reminding me I am never building alone.
