MUSE • Musicians United for Social Equity

Aliyah Danielle is a dynamic artist with a unique approach that can be summed up in one word: unconventional. The winding roads of Aliyah’s diverse interests and experiences converge to form the heart of her creations, which seek to tell stories through sound and blend genres to create new, interesting sonic textures. A collaborator at heart, Aliyah’s mission is to use her art to pose questions and start conversations surrounding issues embedded in our world’s cultural and social systems, allowing us to better understand others and their belief systems. 

Aliyah enjoys a multifaceted career including performing, composing, arranging, orchestration, producing, and teaching. She received her Master of Music in Contemporary Performance (Production Concentration) from Berklee College of Music in Valencia, Spain, and also holds a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. She frequently experiments with genre-fusion and is well-versed in many different performance settings, including funk, neo-soul, jazz, big band, orchestral, wind ensemble, brass band, and smaller group configurations of various styles. Aliyah has been afforded the opportunity to perform and travel all around the world, including studio recording sessions and live shows throughout the United States and in Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, and The Netherlands with various performance and civic service organizations, as well as other individual projects.
