Danielle West
A newly emerging independent voice of Gospel, Danielle West, also known as DanniVocalz, is a LOVER of music and follower of God. She is from Los Angeles, California, but relocated to Atlanta, Georgia at age 15 and has resided there since.
Though many are becoming familiar with her soulful sound and artistry, Danni is by no means a stranger to music. At the tender age of 2 years old, you could fnd her belting notes at her dad’s church, and she participated in the choirs of any church she has ever attended. Early on, her mother knew she’d be a singer because she could always be found humming a tune or singing her responses to people’s questions or statements.

The shaping of her craft as a singer started during childhood at Faithful Central Bible Church, with Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer. There Danni sang with the Children’s Choir and Teenage/College Choir. Since then, her list of musical accomplishments have grown thanks to opportunities presented by God’s favor, including things like: organizing a choir to sing behind the famed Puf Daddy, Faith Evans, and 112 for a performance of “I’ll Be Missing You” on Jay Leno’s TV show; performing the National Anthem at a Brave’s game; flling in on an episode on Sunday Best with JJ Hairston & Youthful Praise. In addition, she has shared the stage with the likes of: Earnest Pugh, Marica Chisolm, Pastor Brock Taylor and United Voices for Christ, Maranda C. Willis, Sunday Best Winner Geofrey Golden, and others. Danni is currently a member of Kevin Lemons & Higher Calling, a ministry that continues to sharpen her gift and create doors for her as an artist. She also has a recently released single entitled “Who You Are” which is available on all digital media outlets.
Danielle stands on Isaiah 40:31. She often says: “Waiting may feel like it’s dragging out this process of life, but God’s timing is ALWAYS the right timing.” Having endured a WAIT season before this current journey, she has truly learned that in a season of WAIT, God is working on her behalf and she purposes to continue WORKING while WAITING on the PROMISES of God.
