Biography

Dani Deahl is a Chicago based EDM, & House music producer, DJ, journalist, and blogger. She was the producer of a Billboard charted song, ran music blog DSquared from 2009-2015 and is currently DJ Magazine's Editor at Large.

Early life

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Deahl became a DJ and got her first few residencies while she was still attending high school. Since that time, she's expanded into music production, journalism, and blogging. Dani started her writing career as a contributor for URB Magazine and shortly thereafter became their House Section Editor. She has also contributed to Chinashop (Red Bull's magazine), TimeOut, Mateo, BPM, Complex, VICE and more. Dani's blog, "DSquared", started in 2009.[1]

TedX

In 2014, Dani did a highly publicized TEDx talk titled "Women, STEM & EDM."[2] Deahl spoke in regards to her role as a female in the electronic music industry, and the inequalities that exist. Deahl has also stated in interviews that she is a women's rights activist.[3]

SMYK ( Show Me Your Kitties Tour)

Deahl's Show Me Your Kitties tour was a tour that consisted of 30 shows all promoted, ticked, and planned out by staff and assistants of the tour. Deahl had stated that because she was a female DJ, she was finding it difficult to get booked and promoted for shows. In response to that, she made an active effort to self sustain the tour, from creating a ticketing service that allowed customers to also donate to a nonprofit big cat rescue charity, to booking and promoting shows without promoters.[4]

DJ Mag

As of 2016, Deahl had taken up a role as an editor for popular music magazine DJ Mag. She said in an interview that she had written pieces for the magazine and then eventually was offered a position with DJ Mag.[5]

Personal life

Dani is married to DJ Fei Tang. They wed on May 5, 2013.[6][7]
