Introducing
DANI MILANO
Take a step back in time as the gorgeous songstress Dani Milano tastefully blends sultry vocals and a captivating swing feel in a unique performance.
Originally from Italy, Dani is a London based singer performing classics from the Great American Songbook and the Italian tradition together with originals compositions.
Fresh from a standout performance with the
Adam Kubota Trio —known for their work with Postmodern Jukebox during their 2025 UK tour, her London appearance as a featured guest vocalist reaffirmed her ability to effortlessly bridge vintage jazz with contemporary flair.
She also recently had the honour of performing live jazz duets with Mitch Winehouse, father of the late Amy Winehouse. Their touching renditions of beloved standards like "Body and Soul" and "The Lady is a Tramp" showcased Dani's emotional depth and vocal finesse.
Previously, Dani featured on Ray Gelato's album "Lockdown but not out", lending her voice to the lively track "Baciami Piccina". The collaboration led to a memorable guest performance at the album’s launch party at London’s iconic 100 Club.
Her debut EP, Take Me Home, is a live recording featuring original songs, soulful jazz, and beautifully reimagined Italian classics from the 1940s through the 1960s. Arranged by trumpet player and composer Duncan Fraser, the EP is steeped in nostalgic jazz textures and lyrical storytelling that spans themes of freedom, self-discovery, romance, and redemption. The live set is often performed with a full band complete with horn section, creating an irresistibly rich and dynamic sound.
Dani has made her mark in Electro Swing as a top-line vocalist too, with "Get Up" (Honky Crew, ElectroSwingThing - Berlin) and later collaborating with DJ Emma Clair on “Hey Sister” for the female-led Swing Sisters project.
