Daria Musk creates soulful, unique, and accessible music that resonates long after first listen, breaking out of the expected, shining with originality and spirit. Raised in a musical family tucked away in the woods of Connecticut. With a rebellious heart, an honest innocence, and a passion for playing, Daria developed a distinctive guitar and songwriting style that catches fire on stage and in the studio. Her vocals soar and her lyrics are alive with poetry and inspiration from life, love and the mysteries of the universe. Together with producer/composer/bass player R.A.M., they create a pop/rock/indie sound all their own mixing the heart of a singer/songwriter with an adventurous alternative spirit. Daria consistently tops the charts on the popular music website Ourstage.com, and is receiving rave reviews for her recently released Debut EP "Bright As Night" and for her live shows.

"She's as distinctive a singer and writer as KT Tunstall or Sara Barellies. The initial tracks I heard rock with terrific emotion." - TheImproper.com
"She has something everyone needs to hear. Her heart first and then her amazing voice, songs and spirit.”
-Howard Lindeman, Sound Engineer (Stevie Wonder, John Lennon, REM)
"Daria's one of the most effortless singers I've ever heard. You can hear her smile when she sings. Killer guitar-player, too. Beautiful musicianship in the band. They're great. Was I ever pleasantly bowled over!"
-Bob Power, Grammy-winning producer/mixer
Daria has played countless east coast clubs and festivals, including sold-out shows at New York City's Mercury Lounge, Boston's Paradise Rock Club and performances with the prestigious NYC Songwriter's Circle and The Songwriter's Hall of Fame. She's just returned from showcasing at the music industry's biggest event of the year - The South By Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival and Conference in Austin, TX and has been recognized by The Singer/Songwriter Awards, The Starbucks Emerging Artist Competition, and The International Songwriting Competition.
Daria's Debut EP is now available on her myspace page: www.myspace.com/dariamusk and her Debut Full-Length Album will be released later in 2009.
Jennifer Layton, Indie-Music.com Feature:"First sentence in my notes, once I picked myself up after being sonically thrown from my chair: “Holy crap, this girl can sing.” Yes, that’s how I earned my title of Assistant Editor at Indie-Music.com. Skillful craftsmanship with words. Do not try this at home. Daria Musk has one fantastic voice. It soars, whispers, laughs when she herself is not, technically, laughing, and it could probably belt out hard rock with real credibility if it wanted to. Combine that with creative, daring songwriting, and you have got a force to be reckoned with. Now I understand why her album cover shows her with her guitar plugged into a tree. She’s tapped into a creative Higher Power on this project. The fact that no one else sounds like this proves she’s got the Muses’ full attention and support.”
Fitz, Blogcritics Magazine:When Daria Musk's self-titled debut album arrived in my mailbox, I hadn't heard of her. And when I played the album for the first time, I wondered why the heck not. This girl can sing! And she makes it seem so damn easy! Daria has an amazing grasp of very different styles and a groove all her own. Opening with "Maybe" with soaring vocals and guitar licks, she transitions to the almost instrument-less "On Your Shoulders" which allows you to really get a feel for the range and quiet power of her voice. And once she has you, she doesn't let go. Raised in the woods of Connecticut in a musical family, she has her own distinct style of vocals, guitar playing, and lyrics. Each lyric has a poetic quality that is lost on so many young stars focused more on pop stardom than on their music. With Daria, that doesn't seem to be the case. If you're looking for something new, upbeat, and classy to add to your collection, I'd definitely grab Daria Musk's self-titled album. She deserves a listen. And I can hardly wait to hear what she does next!”
