Danni X releases the lead single from her debut EP

Los Angeles-based artist DANNI X has released “LU$T,” the lead single from her debut EP.

Growing up, DANNI X was surrounded by rock music and religion. The former developed her passion for writing while Catholicism developed into a strong inspiration for her creative avenues. “LU$T” was written with DANNI’s personal qualms of religious teachings at the forefront.

“My inspiration for ‘LU$T’ came from a lot of different experiences,” notes Danni. “I had a very Catholic upbringing and this has becoming a large source of lyrical inspiration for me. Although I am not Catholic myself, I’ve always been fascinated by their version of the apocalypse and how this tied into their ‘seven deadly sins.’ The Catholic Church lists Lust as the worst of them all. In my opinion, it’s the one that is the least harmful and is simply part of being human.”

Danni made the decision to go to college at The University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado where she discovered an affinity for electronic dance music. Now living in Los Angeles, EDM has her heart but rock ‘n roll has her soul and DANNI X is looking forward to exploring those genres on her forthcoming EP. She concludes by saying, “Trying to be true to myself is the most important thing to me right now with music but there’s a fine line between playing the game and being genuine. I’m currently trying to walk this line.”
