“Danielle Knoll’s catchy, pop-rock, feel-good anthem “Alive” epitomizes the fresh coolness of summer of 2016. A message of ignoring the judgment of others and simply enjoying life rings true with the clarity of Knoll’s simple, but pinpoint vocal. The bubbly synth that makes its way into the chorus will act as the deciding factor of whether or not this single makes its way onto your music library this summer, as its eventual union with an electric guitar makes the track difficult to get out of your head.” – 24OurMusic.

Danielle Knoll: #90s kid. Lover & Creator of Pop Music.

	Toronto native Danielle Knoll; is a singer-songwriter with a pop sensibility way beyond her years. Alive, her second Ep was released on July 28th, and is already gaining much deserved attention.  She had a sold out show the night of the release, at The Piston in Toronto. The 6-track EP is an exceptionally hooky, 1990s pop/rock-inspired, contemporary pop album. It was recorded in Toronto, at Exeter Sound Studios, with producer Thomas McKay (JoyDrop, The Nightcrawlers). Her superior song writing and pop vocal abilities are drawing her comparisons to a young Avril Lavigne with the soulfulness of Alessia Cara and Tori Kelly. 

	 In 2013, Danielle was enrolled in Coalition Music’s Artist Entrepreneur program where she worked with Treble Charger front man and producer Greig Nori, and guitarist Sean Kelly (Nelly Furtado, Lee Aaron). She was also asked to join the house band of YTV’s “The Next Star” as a backup singer. Danielle then went on to perform in both Canadian Music Week and NXNE showcases. 

	In July 2014, Danielle released her first Ep “The Sound”, with Toronto based producer and mixing engineer, Gabe Gallucci (Shawn Mendes, Disney, Divine Brown). Danielle’s songwriting abilities have not gone unnoticed as she has written with a handful of producers and songwriters such as Andee, Johnny Active, and Nice Horse, to name a few. She was asked to pen songs for Canadian recording artist Jordan “J-Man” Francis, and Victoria Az, Mini-pop Kid, and winner of Long and McQuade’s national singing competition. 

      Performing monthly with her band Toronto, if you get a chance to see her live, do it. You’ll leave with your ears wanting more.

"Slakah the Beatchild", or “Beatchild” as he is now known, has been making our heads nod with his signature soulful sound since the inception of his iconic Soul Movement Volumes I (2008) and II (2012). A compilation series of elegant, feel-good soul and hip hop written and produced entirely by Beatchild and featuring noteworthy artists such as Drake ("Bad Meaning Good", "Share"), Glenn Lewis ("Number 1"), Divine Brown ("Crate Love") amongst others.
In an unexpected shift of sound Beatchild followed up with an album under a new moniker - The Slakadeliqs. "The Other Side of Tomorrow” (2010) was a critically acclaimed album which pulled from hip-hop, soul, folk, pop, psychedelic rock - pretty much any sound found in a dusty crate of vinyl. Beatchild seamlessly blurred genre boundaries and created a sound for our future by drawing from the past.

Beatchild is often referred to as a genius in the studio and he has consistently blessed us with exceptional music that leaves his fans in eager anticipation for his next release. The always consistent; never predictable Beatchild has a natural, instinctive response to music. As a multi-instrumentalist, producer, vocalist and song-writer, Beatchild pays keen attention to the entire process, skillfully combining sounds and beats that infuse his music with a distinctive charm and appeal while remaining honest and genuine.

His unique sound is born from both the mind of a producer and the heart of a songwriter. Beatchild creates a unique feeling in his listeners with every composition. His desire to evoke feel-good-vibes of joy and solace shines through in every song. With Beatchild there are no singles. Every song is timeless and unique and his trademark sound is crystallized on every album. Whether you love him as Slakah, as Beatchild or as the Slakadeliqs, you will love his 7th solo album “Unselfish Desires”.

The highly anticipated EP “Unselfish Desires”  is another expectedly unexpected sound that has become Beatchild’s signature style. His ability to tastefully blend diverse styles while hailing in the signature mellow tone of his voice in "Dance For Love" and well-woven lyrics "Adapting" give us yet an intergalactic experience through space and time.  A multi-instrumentalist, Beatchild pays keen attention to the music production process, skillfully combining heterogeneous sounds and beats that spice his music with a distinctive charm and appeal.
