“Meeting Danay was probably the revelation of the trip. I was interviewing her for my documentary on BBC Radio 1 and she passed me the headphones to check her demos. She played me ‘Individual’ and I compared her to Erykah Badu. She just looked at me straight in the eyes and said, ’If you have to compare me to anyone, it’s Jill Scott!!” The thing is, she’s incomparable, a pure diamond shining ready for collection.”
A 24-year-old soul sister who has drawn comparisons with the likes of Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, Danay eschews a gangster lean for a more conscious delivery with her honeyed vocals and effortless rhyme flows. Born in Havana’s Cerro district, today she lives with mother and sister in Santa Fe (on the fringes of the capital). Solo material is scarce but she has collaborated with Aldo — of Los Aldeanos — and popular Cuban fusion artist X Alfonso.
