About Teri Danz

Club Hit Recording Artist, Vocal Producer, and Top Vocal Coach, Teri Danz, is a musical innovator in pop vocal performance both as an artist and coach. With a nod to her nineties house and dance music roots, singer/songwriter, Danz, brings a new attitude and fresh new beats to her strong melodies and smooth mezzo vocal sound. Her journey, like so many other women’s, is about taking hold of the reins of your life and moving forward to your own beat, despite challenges and other voices trying to hold you back.

Her new single, “You Do U,” is about claiming your uniqueness, standing up for yourself, and not apologizing. The song reflects her way of realizing the truth, allowing others the freedom to choose, and having the courage to let go and move on to create your best life.

You Do U’s Release Date is August 22, 2024!

As an artist, Danz has recorded with top-level talent such as Gerry “The Gov” Brown (Alicia Keyes, more), Buddy Halligan (Ray Charles, Anita Baker, Barry White) among others. She has performed as a solo artist and in bands (including Tower Records In-Stores, The NAMM Show, The House of Blues, Viper Room, and more). Danz received national press in Women Who Rock Magazine. During the pandemic, she lent her vocals to “People Are People” Charity single and video by Rising Voices produced by Chris Wirsig.

As a vocal coach and producer, Danz gives her a unique, real-world perspective and specific pop techniques to assist others in pursuing their vocal dreams both live and in the recording studio, including three students on the Billboard Top 20 Charts in 2019, established artists and up-and-comers. Named a Top Vocal Coach by Backstage Magazine, she shared her pioneering techniques in her book, “Vocal Essentials for the Pop Singer” for Hal Leonard Corporation and has written articles for Music Connection, Electronic Musician, and many more. She won a Global Excellence Award from Lux Life Magazine in 2020 “Vocal Coach of the Year.”

“Teri Danz has proven to be a strong force on the LA music scene. A brilliant songwriter and well-known as teaching mastermind, if you want to pursue a singing career – Teri will get you there. Now her amazing talent can be shared with the masses. Do yourself a favor, and listen to what she has to offer.”

The Rising Voices Charity Initiative

Inspired to rise up to help the Black Lives Matter and justice movement, producer/musician Chris Wirsig started and produced The Rising Voices Charity Initiative, in support of the NAACP Empowerment Program, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and HeadCount.org. All proceeds will be donated to these organizations. The Orchestral-Rock version of Depeche Mode’s “People Are People” features 36 awesome artists including Synthpop-Legend Marian Gold of Alphaville, Grammy-winners, acclaimed film composers, and prolific Hollywood session musicians! And yours truly!! BTW, Chris used the Sennheiser HD-558 headphones for the project. I am using the Sennheiser e935 in the video. Check out the project video with all of the musicians (I’m wearing sunglasses and a green jacket, fyi)! The website is www.risingvoices.net.

Testimonials

"If you are a professional in the music business, then you know the importance of having a great support team. Teri has provided that for artists I have worked with, and the results have proven that she knows how to guide a vocalist to give their best performance, in the studio as well as live. Having the benefit of her knowledge and experience can move you forward in finding your voice,"

Matt ForgerProducer/Engineer/Mixer (Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney).

“Teri Danz is a club owner’s dream band. They not only bring a hardy crowd of their own, but they can win over any audience with their infectious tunes and engaging performance. But don’t miss out! I suspect that it will not be long before they are snatched up by a major booking agency, and that very soon they will not be playing in clubs anymore.”

Ian CopelandMusic Agent (The Police, Sting), Owner, Backstage Cafe

“I’m always impressed with the heart and soul Teri and the band put into their performances, both on record and on stage. TDB shows are always chock full of the kind of emotion and sincerity that’s infectious and inspiring. I wish all artists worked it as hard and cared as much.”

Mike Moore Music Connection

“Teri Danz rocks the house at Tower on Sunset! Great band, great stage presence, good marketing! Positive, upbeat, dynamic with untapped energy, Danz and her band seek to be larger than life and succeed.”

Jay SmithGeneral Manager, Tower Records Sunset

“Teri Danz and Sennheiser are a perfect marriage of artist and product. Performing in our booth at last year’s NAMM Show, Danz and TDB guitarist, Tim Weber, played a passionate and inspired set. Their talent, mastery, artistic vision, and great songs make them artists to see and be seen. We are pleased to have them on our roster.”

Greg BeebeVice President, Sennheiser Electronic Corporation
