Music Dnash began her music career at the age of two as a drummer, played her first paid show at the age of nine, and by the age of fifteen had become an accomplished vocalist, pianist, and MIDI programmer. By her 20s, she had changed from performing and composing, both as a solo artist and in bands, to producing and recording other artists, including Oleg Ginsburg, Recall The Sin, The Doug Wahlberg Band, The Screw-Ups, Brian Kelly, and many others. As a songwriter, Dnash has always focused heavily on singles rather than full-length albums, as the diversity of her compositions brought accusations of "lack of focus" when compiled together. Like the artists that have most heavily influenced her (Queen and Peter Gabriel), Dnash's music covers a broad spectrum from classical composition to hard rock, rap to country, and everything in between. Her single "You Can't Be" is featured on the soundtrack of the 2007 movie release, Fingerprints. Dnash was recently cited as a producer on The Screw-Ups' self-titled EP, released April 19, 2013. The production and music received positive reviews from blogs such as Louder Than War.
