Diā is the project of composer and performer, Danielle Birrittella. Her debut EP, TINY OCEAN, was released with MANIMAL RECORDS and features songs produced by producer/drummer Joey Waronker (Beck, REM, Atoms for Peace) and Tim Carr (The Americans, HAIM). Raised on a Hindu ashram, she sang ceremonial ragas as a child, which led to training and performing as an opera singer throughout the U.S. and Europe. Along these travels, she began writing songs on a ukulele. Diā’s lush baroque-pop sound incorporates vocal pedals and ethereal vocal textures abstracted by organic percussion, electric guitars, ukulele, tiple, cellos, and drones.

Diā collaborated with Rock & Roll photographer Koury Angelo (Rolling Stone, Billboard, People) and Corinne Foxx(Miss Golden Globe, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren) to create a video for her cover of the Turtle’s song Happy Together. Miss Foxx is a spokesperson for NAMI.org (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and wanted to explore the internal struggle with anxiety and depression that so many people face, particularly in light of a historically high national suicide rate.
