Sharing the love for music
Daniela is a music enthusiast and she loves getting people singing and having fun! She is a vocal technique expert, a creativity/improvisation advocate and a strong believer in life-long learning. She is passionate about the next generation of performers and brings to the table more than 10 years of experience.
Daniela is the founder and director of THE GREAT WINDMILL, an independent music and singing studio in central London; offering a variety of singing and music opportunities, from individual singing lessons to group sessions, recording, casting and artist development for film/theatre/ advertisement. Clients’ list included TV Allianz, Fivefootsix, Adelphoi Music.
Her professional roles as a vocal coach gave her the opportunity to work with a wide range of people from professional singers to beginners, children and adults, collaborating with independent music schools, festivals and recording labels/producers. Her clients have performed with BBC Synphonic orchestra and spam from independent pop artists to jazz and spoken word. Daniela has also consulted and collaborated with NatPressPlay on two European tours for Gypsy Jazz guitarist Gonzalo Bergara and secured for them a sponsorship with Duende Percussion.
As a researcher, Daniela’s Master's dissertation pedagogical focus was on deepening the understanding of group improvisational vocal activities and techniques, including valuable interviews and reflections by Bobby McFerrin collaborators Rhiannon and Roger Treece.
Daniela looks after outreach activities with schools/organisations and creatives programmes for young musicians at London College of Contemporary Music, bridging the gap between creative talent, higher education and the music industry. Equally at home managing events and partnerships, on behalf of LCCM she has also worked in artist liaison with notable guests such as Dr. Matthew Knowles (Beyonce), Fraser T. Smith (Adele, Kae Tempest), Leigh-Ann (Lil-Mix) and charitable organisations like Youth Music, NYJO, Grounded Sounds and Ark School. Her love for Jazz brought forward the partnership between EFG London Jazz Festival and LCCM in 2024 unlocking new opportunities for emerging talent to shine on main stages and behind the scenes, together with a special edition LCCM Women in Jazz Panel featuring China Moses, Cherise, Louise Paley and Tina Edwards as speakers.
