Nashville-based, queer indie pop/rock artist daena is on a mission: to explore love, vulnerability and how to stay weird through it all. Her new single, "Vampire Girl" features her scariest subject matter yet: a clingy situationship. Filled with hooky vocal stacks and gritty guitars with just the right amount of bite, it's deliciously addictive pop/rock perfection.
daena's debut full-length album, “Alter Ego”, is a bold artist statement challenging imposter syndrome and leaning into a quarter-life crisis. With her signature pop songwriting sensibility, daena crafts catchy melodies that live slightly left of center. The early 00s-inspired songs blend tongue-in-cheek relatability with the a bit of quirk and honesty, sure to hook fans of Olivia Rodrigo + Zolita.
daena’s songs have been placed on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds” and “Night Pop” editorial playlists and featured on iHeart Radio, Nashville’s Lightning 100 & more. She's worked with the It Gets Better Project as an official TikTok creator and has racked up over 32k followers of her own.
“I think everyone can relate to the growing pains of your twenties and the many, many versions of yourself that you go through while trying to figure out who you are," daena says. "This record is a coming of age story. I hope you love it as much as I do.”
Her alter ego is at home watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer while eating chocolate fudge brownie ice cream directly out of the carton.
