Canadian singer-songwriter Dani Black is making waves in the pop music landscape, backed by major songwriting competition wins and a rapidly growing fanbase. The Vancouver-based artist recently claimed victory in MRG’s ELEVATE Music Project, the Great American Songwriting Contest's pop category and earned finalist recognition in the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Competition, establishing herself as a formidable voice in contemporary songwriting.

Her creative output has caught industry attention, with her videos surpassing a combined 4 million views in 2025, helping build a combined following of 35K+ across TikTok and Instagram.
Black's live presence commands attention at both intimate venues and major stages. She's headlined Vancouver's iconic Biltmore Cabaret and graced the historic Vogue Hollywood Theatre, while also connecting with audiences at community celebrations including the Granville Block Party and White Rock Sea Festival. Her vocal prowess earned her the honor of performing at Rogers Arena for the Vancouver Canucks game, cementing her status as a hometown favorite.
The artist has consistently used her platform for social impact, raising nearly $20,000 for local food banks through COVID-era livestream concerts, demonstrating the powerful connection she builds with her audience.
Black's debut single "Pretty Boy," crafted in Nashville with Grammy-nominated producer Matt Bronlewee, introduced her storytelling-driven approach to a wider audience. She continues her momentum with her upcoming EP “Intro To”, promising to further showcase the compelling narrative style that has distinguished her in the competitive pop landscape.
