My guest today is Daniel Ralph
Mfaya, also known as Dani. Dani is an extraordinary dancer, model
and creative director. Dani grew up in France & currently resides
in the United States, but is traveling the world as a dancer on the
Sam Smith Gloria Tour. Because my daughter, Julia is the
bass player in Sam’s band, I’ve had the pleasure and honor of
meeting Dani, the other dancers, background vocalists and band
members. Dani is a seasoned dancer, having performed and
choreographed with Beyoncé, danced with Sidi Larbi’s
Belgium Dance Company & Royal Ballet of Flanders. Dani shared
the video of an extraordinary dance called Mea Culpa that
moved me to tears and gave me a sacred window into Dani’s heart and
soul.
We recorded this conversation at the end of September when the Sam
Smith tour had a break between the North American tour and the
Asian tour. By now the tour is in Australia, where I will see, in
person, my daughter, Dani and all the other performers for their
last shows of 2023.

artistry he embodies. Enjoy the podcast!
