Danielle Keiko Eyer

Biography

One of the first graduates from Concordia University’s Performance Creation program, I am a gay composer/lyricist based in Montréal, Canada. While I've so far been composing and writing my own lyrics, I've become increasingly interested in collaborating as a composer with other lyricists and bookwriters who may be able to lend their own unique talents and perspectives to my music. My true strength lies in writing melodies, and I would love to see this heightened by other people's words. However, I do still love writing lyrics and will probably never be able to give it up completely!

I've participated in small-scale song cycles and cabarets, I've written the music and lyrics to a full-length musical currently in development, and in my spare time for fun I composed the entire score for a children's cartoon that was pitched to Disney but never got greenlit. All of the songs from that project can be found on YouTube, and some are also on Spotify and other streaming services. I also orchestrated and recorded them all myself!
