Danielle Lessard, although multi talented musician, mainly plays acoustic guitar and sings with a range of styles from R&B to rock to soul to hip hop. Covering songs from Tina Turner to Pink to Michael Jackson to Lady Gaga. With fierce guitar and powerful vocals she puts herself completely into her music. The truth is said in what is heard.
Being majorly influenced early on by R&B, soul, funk, and anything with a good rhythm, it is reflected in the rhythmic guitar style that she plays. Coming from 2 parents who were long time snare and quad drummers of the local drumcore, she was born with an undying rhythm.

More so be able to expose herself, her music, to the public. Although she's played dozens of shows in her late teens and early 20's, she never uttered a word of her own material.
