Danielle, Marie
Hustler
Marie Danielle is an indie folk singer-songwriter based in LA influenced by storytellers. She played her songs in private until a brush with death in a violent domestic relationship lent her the courage to reach out to an artist she greatly admires, Simone Felice. Marie sent her demos to this founding member of the internationally acclaimed Catskill Mountain based Felice Brothers, whose seminal self-titled album remains one of the most influential works of this century's indie folk revival. The two made plans to begin recording together. Soon after, Marie and collaborator Christian Wargo, of the Grammy award winning folk band Fleet Foxes, left LA for Woodstock, NY to begin recording with Simone and his production partner David Baron, who was nominated for a Grammy for his work on Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass. What started as an EP soon grew into a full length record - Hustler, featuring Felice, Wargo and even the original lineup of The Felice Brothers who back Marie up for the first single Soldier. Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes fame also allowed Marie to include her interpretation of one of his songs on the record. Another track, One of My Kind will be featured on an episode of the new Showtime series Billions, starring Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis which begins January 2016.
