Danielle Bitton is a multi-talented, internationally acclaimed singer and DJ who has spent over two decades bringing a one-of-a-kind mix of musical talent and showmanship to stages across the globe. Danielle is celebrated not only for her musical talent but also for her resilience and ability to empower others by sharing her story of overcoming adversity and being a breast cancer survivor. Her uplifting talks cover topics such as Finding Light in the Darkness, The Resilient Artist in the Age of AI, and Follow Your Joy, bringing a refreshing perspective that inspires courage and joy when people need it most.
From headlining her one-woman show on luxury cruise lines (2004) to being a finalist on X Factor Israel (2013) to starring as Eva Perón in international productions of Evita (2017), Danielle is renowned for making the stage her own. Not constrained by any genre or label, she even blends her powerful voice with live DJ sets for a truly out-of-the-box and unforgettable experience. When the year 2020 came around, during the global pandemic, Danielle found her voice brought light during a personal battle. Midway through chemotherapy, she was stripped of energy, isolated, and had lost her sense of feminine identity. So, she stood on her balcony in Cape Town and began to sing. No audience. No spotlight. Just her raw voice, drifting through the stillness of the streets, completely vulnerable. Somehow, it became a lifeline, not just for her, but for the strangers who were gathered on their balconies at night, listening, and being reminded that they weren’t alone.
The live video of Danielle’s performance went viral, and the response was overwhelming. It touched something universal: the aching need for hope in a world that felt uncertain and afraid. News24 even named her one of their 6 Faces of Lockdown, honouring her for bringing light during one of the darkest chapters in recent history. And in recognition of her advocacy and personal journey, she became an ambassador for Reach for Recovery, which supports women with breast cancer in South Africa. Through live performances and creative work, Danielle has raised vital funds and awareness for the charity.
Danielle remains a passionate advocate, using her voice, platform, and presence to share her story of resilience that resonates deeply with others. With warmth, wit, and honesty, Danielle engages audiences, uplifts spirits, ignites honest conversations, and sparks actionable change. She encourages her audiences to harness their own strength, explore the power of vulnerability, to connect, and to be fully, unapologetically alive!
