Her debut album Memoirs debuted in the fall of 2017. In Roundtree's words:

"Memoirs is an album written from true life events. We all have that one love story that ends before it starts, and I just so happen to be a singer-songwriter who documents through song. This album is literally a collection of my memoirs. All the records are personal. The sound has a throwback feel that is jazz-oriented with funk and soul elements, cleverly coined as 'retro'."

Danii Roundtree is currently touring in support of Memoirs and working on new music in the studio.
