After launching her debut single Go Go Go in 2024 — which shot to #8 on the Hot Aotearoa Singles Chart and racked up over 10,000 streams in its first 48 hours — Dani has emerged as one of New Zealand’s most exciting young voices. Her follow-up tracks Lovebomber and Suckerpunch took her sound and message even further, with support from ZM, The Edge, and key indie platforms.

Her new single Suckerpunch is the heart of this tour. Written as a response to bullying and emotional manipulation, it’s a gutsy, guitar-fueled anthem for anyone who’s ever felt invisible and decided not to stay that way.

“This song is for anyone who’s had to pretend they’re okay when they’re not,” Dani says. “It’s about what happens when you finally say, ‘No more.’”

Produced by Devin Abrams (Drax Project, Six60, Fat Freddy’s Drop), Suckerpunch blends pop hooks with punk urgency — a sound Dani is fast making her signature. The single marks a shift from vulnerability to empowerment, a story arc that’s reflected in her dynamic, unfiltered live sets.

Joining her on tour is Emerson, a genre-bending singer-songwriter whose alt-pop songs dig deep into themes of identity, resilience, and growing up under pressure. Her debut singles have been spotlighted by NZ Musician and student radio, building a cult following for her poetic lyrics and magnetic stage presence
