American soul singer Danielle Ponder is both a force and a powerhouse. In 2020, NPR called her music a compassionate, soulful anthem of boldness and strength. She reverberates with a goosebump-inducing passion. Along with her job as a public defender, Danielle toured Europe and landed a spot opening for George Clinton. In 2018, she made the decision to focus on her first passion: music. In 2021, Danielle performed at the Newport Jazz Festival, where her performance was hailed as one of the most outstanding of the event. 2022 was a banner year for Danielle, with television appearances, tours with Marcus Mumford, Amos Lee, St. Paul and the Broken Bones and Leon Bridges. She released her first album on September 16, 2022, Some of Us Are Brave, which features 8 tracks on Future Classic.
