BIOGRAPHY
Staasia Daniels is a singer/songwriter/performer/entertainer/turtle-lover from the talented city of Toronto.
Music (and food) has always been a passion of hers; it just does this magical thing where it brings her out of her shell and allows her to express her struggles, experiences, and quirky yet lovable personality.
She began her journey with highly-recognized YouTube covers that soon turned into a realization of her calling, so she decided to pursue it seriously and attended college for an Independent Music Study program.
Here she honed not only her singing, but writing, recording, mixing, and much more.
From there, she released tracks that garnered attention, nominations, and recognition worldwide (from an Australian magazine, the Black Canadian Awards, and a few more), leading her to perform and showcases in various places all over North America (including Texas for SXSW
and Atlanta for A3C Fest).
Staasia Daniels has shared stages with people like Lil Simz, Mario, and Lyfe Jennings, and has graced major venues including Toronto’s Mod Club and The Drake Hotel for cardinal festivals including Canadian Music Week and Manifesto, as well as her own headlining shows.
Following the successful release of her 2 major EP’s “Hidden Gems” and “Mood Roulette” (which currently racks over 100k streams on Spotify), she’s landed in various publications including EXclaim, NOW Magazine and Complex CA, which named her as one of the year’s “Artists You Need To Know”.
Staasia Daniels is now prepping her next project, to be titled “Whatever Happens, Happens”. With it, she hopes to show even more versatility and growth into a unique sound that is strictly Staasia.

“Staasia Daniels has quietly established a ‘one to watch’ tag for a collection of singles and videos in the past few years… Daniels is deserving of all the attention that’s coming her way.”
