<\/a><\/p>\n Composer and singer,\u00a0Danielle Birrittella, under the moniker Dia<\/a>, is releasing airy, ethereal tracks that’ll transport you in space and time\u2014or so it’ll feel like.<\/p>\n After performing ceremonial ragas on a Hindu ashram where she was raised, she went on to train and perform as an opera singer, which is a background that clearly shines through in her current music, with its rich and velvety baroque pop sound. Her music utilizes a variety of string instruments: guitar, ukulele, and cello, to name a few. Her single “Covered in Light” is a perfect example of her unique background; she draws heavily on classical elements and gives them a unique experimental twist that’ll make your head spin.<\/p>\n Dia just released her first EP\u00a0Tiny Ocean<\/em> on Manimal Records. Check out “Covered in Light” below, then head to her SoundCloud<\/a> to complete the journey.<\/p>\n
