Summer update

Working on a new jazz CD and my own material, so watch this space!

I will also be working with director James Yeatman through July, devising a piece on illness examining in the East End and how the hospital brings a disparate community into one space. ‘Still Ill’ will play at the Shuffle Festival in August.

Finally very excited to be beginning rehearsals for ‘The House That Will Not Stand’ by this September. The show runs Oct – Nov at the Tricycle theatre and is directed by artistic director Indhu Rubasingham. More info:

London-bred jazz and soul... I am a jazz and soul singer, constantly inspired by the greats, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jnr, Nina Simone... the list goes on! So as well as writing my own songs, I sing the classics, sometimes updated with my own lyrics and style. I perform live at public gigs and private functions, as a session singer, and on the London Underground as a licensed busker. I am available to perform at functions and gigs. This site features my tracks, videos, and updates on what I'm doing. Enjoy and feel free to contact me with your queries! Danusia x View all posts by Danusia

You can’t help but take a sharp intake of breath when Danusia steps up to the microphone. Offstage she is a shy, modest and self-effacing girl content to watch and listen on the sidelines. Then the magic happens. As she starts to belt out the old standard “A Change is Gonna Come” her whole being is transformed, channelled into a masterful, world-weary voice that cuts through the hot summer air straight into the hearts of the listener.

"Danusia’s naive, sometimes edgy optimism is stunningly likeable"

“Our eponymous heroine is played with an infectious, nervy energy by fiercely likeable Danusia Samal…"

"Ground-breaking performance by Danusia Samal"

"The performances are universally excellent. Danusia Samal is the obvious standout”

“Samal is outstanding as the moody teenager, truanting from school and taking refuge in fantasy - twitching, texting, pulling faces and shrugging.”

"Danusia Samal always sings with her heart and you can tell by the joy in her face that this is an artist who clearly enjoys every minute of every performance. Even when not singing her own material, Danusia brings a sincerity to other peoples work which makes it her own."
