Daria Black is a singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who has fashioned a deeply profound breed of Indie Pop. Her music is inspired by acts like Muse, The xx and Radiohead, as well as her extensive background in classical music and film scoring. Her gentle voice and her undeniably catchy melodies draw you into her intricate and ethereal arrangements, where she builds the perfect sonic backdrop to the narratives she explores about love, mental health, and philosophy.
Daria’s live act has taken the LA scene by storm. In her first few months of performing, she played the House of Blues, the 626 Golden Streets festival, The Satellite, and many more established venues. Not only does her performance show potential, her debut single, “Mind Heart Body,” was an instant hit among indie blogs and playlists. With an EP (entitled: Changing) on the way, devoted fans, and support from LA legends, Daria’s career is set to flourish.
I used to work with a producer who took advantage of me both professionally and romantically. Despite how difficult it was at the time, that situation ultimately made me grow and pushed me to instead become my own producer. A few years later, I wrote “Not That Girl” after seeing him again, because I felt completely free of his influence. The song embodies the feeling of empowerment I now have from being an independent, female musician, who doesn’t rely on anyone’s skills but my own.
Indie Pop is pretty popular these days, but my music pushes the genre’s boundaries. I wrote this song because someone told me I push too far and that I need to be more approachable. I believe in myself and my music as it is, and with this song, I get to say that to the world.
“This song is about my struggle with bipolar disorder, and my fear of depression and psychosis. While that struggle is particular to my own journey, ultimately, I wrote the song to help me and anyone else who hears it accept that the ups and downs of life are unavoidable, and choose to ride out whatever happens.”
