Since the sixth grade, Dani was the staple DJ among her peers, keeping the dance floors pumping by reading the crowd and reacting quickly on a 3-disc changer. Before the birth of Napster, she had set about in an ambition to build the ultimate archive of the influential tracks that defined the musical culture of the time. In doing so, she uncovered trance, and perceiving it as modern classical music, she became taken with this young genre as it flourished before her eyes. By 2001, Dani was a fan of a wide range of electronic music from world lounge to drum and bass, and she strayed from the masses into the UK Garage scene that had formed in Dubai. She started experimenting with DJ software but did not find satisfaction until, in 2005, she laid her hands on her Pioneer CDJ-200s and mixer with which she focussed on house music as she heard it in the clubs of Montreal.

Dani's desire to develop her craft drew her away from the commercial once more towards progressive house and techno. Driven by a nostalgia for the joy of making people dance and encouraged by the popularity of her recorded sets, Dani sought out her first gigs--mostly McGill events, including the infamous Homo Hop, and underground bookings with Jackie Spade where their tech house chunk'n’roll gained critical acclaim.

In 2008, Dani Drops landed her first residency at Alkemista, where she united with Sweidan to form the Head Nodders duo, spinning a signature smooth and nasty blend of tech house, deep house and groovy minimal. Armed with a keen instinct for high quality dance-floor tracks and knack for creative risk, Dani has been dropping the beats from Montreal's hottest clubs (Salon Daome, Stereo, U.N., le Belmont, Circus Afterhours, Velvet) to its coldest rave (Igloofest).
