Danielle makes music for the seekers. Blending the soul-deep roots of Tracy Chapman and Joni Mitchell with modern, rhythmic textures of Olivia Dean and Tems, and atmospheric soundscapes like The War on Drugs and Imgoen Heap, Danielle weaves elements of dreamy folk and alternative pop, where emotional storytelling meets a high-energy presence.
Her songs are born from a life spent holding space for others. Having discovered her songwriting while supporting people through cancer and end-of-life transitions, Danielle’s lyrics carry a weight and wisdom that only comes from witnessing the truth. From the "twisted dreams" of attachment to the freedom of letting go, her music navigates the complex contours of being human. With fresh momentum from her 2025 release Later Is Here, she enters 2026 with a bold new sound with the release of her newest singles ‘Love in a Different Way’ on Feb 20th & ‘Show Me’ out April 4th.
Show Me
“Unfiltered, breathtaking, and profoundly human, Danielle Schroeder redefines vulnerability in song..” Cage RiotAn afro pop track about the power of staying open even when life tries to shut you down.
I use the myth of Lilith as a lens to talk about reclaiming your own body and dignity- It's about the confidence to lose control and finding freedom once you've stopped carrying around everyone else's shame.
Recorded with producer Scottie Hills at his Coal Harbour studio in Vancouver.

Official Lyric Video
Released April 2025
“Drawing from the likes of Joni Mitchell and The War on Drugs, Danielle makes everything feel timeless with the familiar folk vulnerability with the atmospheric pull of alt-rock. You can hear her counsellor soul in every lyric. The deep empathy in her songwriting makes you feel heard, even if you’re not saying a word. And knowing this came from grieving a close friend, it makes every line even more intimate, more weighty.” Illustrate Magazine
“..Each song feels like a sacred revelation, with Schroeder’s vocals acting as the guide through emotional landscapes and deep contemplation.” Edgar Allen Poets
“Schroeder isn’t just a songwriter — she’s also a counsellor, and that dual role shows up in the emotional intelligence of her music. There’s a rare kind of permission she gives her listener: permission to feel it all, to not have it all together, to grieve publicly and imperfectly. And that might just be the most radical thing about her art. -Odyssey Magazine
“a captivating exploration of folk music, skillfully blending traditional elements with contemporary sensibilities.” The Musical Road
