Oakland-based singer, songwriter, and producer Dani Offline has gained a fervent following for her singular aesthetic, blending dreamy melodies and hypnotic grooves with introspective lyrics that feel both personal and universal.

A transplant from Birmingham, Alabama who came to the Bay for graduate studies at UC Berkeley, Offline spent her formative years bouncing between the U.S. and Europe – a time that widened her perspective to embrace inspiration from all areas of music and creative endeavors.

She was, in her words, singing before she was talking, and was steeped in jazz and hip-hop from an early age, citing Sarah Vaughan and Betty Carter as major influences.

Her most recent EP, Mirror, is an evocative collection of tunes that reflect an overarching concept of transition in life, containing the singles “I Believe You,” “Lust for Life,” and “Be My Baby” that were in part inspired by the changes of the seasons.

She has been performing around the country and in the Bay Area as part of the series produced by Smartbomb, Bandcamp, and White Crate, sharing the stage with artists including The Seshen, Jada Imani, and Madison McFerrin.
