In the spring of 2010, Daisha Graf-- then 20 years old and unknown, started a back-up dance career that’s spanned some of the largest urban hip-hop and R&B tours in recent memory-- Rihanna, Diddy, Ryan Leslie, Letoya Lucket, Jill Scott and Beyonce to name a few.  Even before graduating with a BA in Dance from Hofstra University, Daisha earned notice as a talented member with the Imani Dance Ensemble and NYC based Rhapsody The Company.  

However, after reaching the top of the working commercial dance world, her passion and vision to express herself as a performing artist hadn’t quite satisfied her own self-fulfillment.  

“Even before being on the road for so long, I envisioned an original live experience more theatrical and expressive than dance alone could reveal about me,” says Daisha, spoken with a warm smile and a truly endearing attitude.  Her artistic presence is noticeable, and likable.  Its almost if an aura surounds her that all at once says- ‘earth mother’ meets ‘Beyonce,‘ but its not until one samples her music that the word ‘Tron‘ is added to her club-like soundscapes.  “I began to have intense dreams about a body of material that reflected me.  It included my own electric sound, vibe, and style.  I knew if I really went for it, I’d risk all the hard work I’d built so far, including my reputation as a professional dancer.”  Daisha continued, “I really hope I can shed light to those who also dream about creating anyway that frees the spirit.”

Now working vigorously in the studio with some of New York’s youngest and brightest hip-hop, pop, and dance producers, Daisha, has undergone her own self-aware transformation.  Free from the bonds of her perceived one-sided career, she’s elevated her artistic endeavors from only interpreting body movement from sound, to creating the sound and lyrics that also augments her dance style unilaterally, or as Daisha says “Creating new choreography to my own music is the best!”

If you think this the story of just another professional dancer

wanting to be a pop-star , Daisha was trained as a classical pianist

since the age of 5 and also participated in choirs thoughout high school and college. "Music had always been an important part of my life, but dance became the medium for exposing me to the professional music industry."
