About
Danger Foley has carved out a niche for herself in the electronic music scene with a distinctive blend of sound that merges various genres with eclectic beats. Educated in both Neuroscience and Media Studies, Foley uses her deep understanding of music’s impact on the mind to design sets that are as intellectually engaging as they are rhythmically compelling. She gained significant recognition after winning the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s We Can Survive competition in 2022, where she opened for Alanis Morissette, Halsey, OneRepublic, Weezer and Garbage. She has since showcased her dynamic style at prestigious venues and notable festivals worldwide.
Danger bends the traditional “house rules”– fusing a colorful array of musical genres into cohesive, artistic tapestries that resonate with her audience on a personal level.
Harnessing the synchronistic power of music, Foley not only gets people dancing, but also deeply connected. Danger’s blend of musical diversity and engaging delivery makes her an enigmatic figure in the electronic music world, where she is alchemising new ways to use sonic to unite.
"Curating A MUSICAL EXPERIENCE is a major responsibility; WHEN WE LISTEN TO MUSIC AND DANCE TOGETHER, OUR BRAIN NEURONS SYNCHRONIZE. MUSIC, QUITE LITERALLY, HAS THE POWER TO UNITE US ON A CELLULAR LEVEL.
To me, DJing is much more than a performance; it’s about creating a positive, MEANINGFUL experience that stays with US after the show is over.”
“Foley's performances go beyond typical DJ sets;
she turns a group of individuals into a unified audience.”
PHILANTHROPY & MENTAL HEALTH
Danger Foley is renowned not only for her musical talent but also for her deep commitment to philanthropy and mental health advocacy. In 2016, Foley founded the Learn to Fly Project, a unique 501(c)3 platform that allows musicians to share exclusive content and discuss mental health openly with their fans. Foley is on a mission to dismantle the stigmas surrounding mental health, particularly within the music industry. Her dedication to this mission was prominently showcased in the summer of 2022 when she mobilized her community to raise over $100,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention through Audacy's We Can Survive Competition.
From raising $3,000 for her school by setting up a lemonade stand at age 10, to organizing a fundraising trip to Thailand for tsunami recovery, Foley's history of philanthropy is both long and impactful. Perhaps most notably, in 2010 she pledged to shave her head if her community raised $3,500 for a pediatric cancer foundation, a challenge they exceeded, reflecting her eagerness to get her community involved (and have 3 years of bad haircuts) for a good cause. Foley performs for the Denver Children's Foundation and the SRL Foundation as well as other non-profits where she combines her love of music with her passion for philanthropy. Danger Foley is not just a musician to watch but a vibrant force for positive change in and beyond the music community.
