    Danaë Xanthe Vlasse (also known as Danaë Vlasse) is a French-American pianist, composer, performing artist, music producer, and music teacher.[1] She won a Grammy Award for Best Classical Solo Vocal Album for Mythologies in 2022.[2] Her song "Penelope", from the album, was featured in 2021 on PBS's Front & Center, performed by Sangeeta Kaur.[3]

    In 2022, Vlasse was inducted into the Indie Music Hall of Fame.[4] She has also been recognized by the Producer's Choice Awards, Clouzine International Music Awards, Indie Music Channel Awards, and Radio Music Awards.[5][6]

    Music career[edit]

    Vlasse is a classical pianist, composer, music producer, performing artist, and music teacher. She has released six studio albums, and received a Grammy Award for Mythologies in 2022.[7] She has performed at Skirball Cultural Center[8] and SXSW (South by Southwest).[9] Her compositions have been performed on PBS's Front & Center,[10]atSegerstrom Center for the Arts, and at Mt. Wilson Observatory, by Sangeeta Kaur and Hila Plitmann.

    Vlasse is the director of Music Vision Studios, where she teaches piano, theory and composition. She graduated from the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) in 2003 with a degree in Piano Performance and moved to Los Angeles shortly afterward to pursue her aspirations of composing music.[3]

    Early life[edit]

    Vlasse was born in Bordeaux, France to parents Marcus (née Vlassopoulos) and Claire Vlasse.[11] Her father is of Greek descent, and her mother of French descent.[12] Her father grew up on the island of Ithaca (which inspired her compositions on Mythologies) and her mother was a teacher.[5][13] "I began studying music so young I don't even remember my first piano lesson. In some sense music was so ingrained in my life that I just kept doing it because nothing else was powerful enough to pull me away from it," Vlasse said in an interview with Shoutout LA.[14]
