Daniela da Silva Barros (born 23 July 1997), known professionally as Danny Bond, is a Brazilian rapper, singer, songwriter, and dancer. She is the first Black travesti musician to reach the top of the iTunes Brazil chart six times, establishing herself as a leading LGBTQIA+ voice from Alagoas. An emerging phenomenon in Brazil's queer pop scene, Danny Bond has brought the vibrant culture of Alagoas’ peripheries to a national audience, becoming one of the few contemporary artists from the state to gain widespread recognition. Since childhood, Danny Bond showed a passion for singing and dancing, often imitating artists she saw on television. Her career officially began in 2015, when she went viral with the parody "Ai Meu Deus" — also known as “Rainha do Jacintinho” (Queen of Jacintinho), a title that earned her the affectionate nickname. The song, written by her, is a Portuguese-language reinterpretation of "Anaconda", a hit by her biggest inspiration in rap and favorite artist: the Trinidadian singer-songwriter Nicki Minaj. In early 2019, she reached ninth place on Spotify's "Virais do Brasil" playlist. Shortly after, she experienced a memorable moment when she heard a crowd of over one million people singing her hits during the São Paulo Carnival, where she had been invited to perform by drag queen Pabllo Vittar. In 2020, she gained even more national visibility with the viral remix of her song "Tcheca" and "Say So" by American singer Doja Cat. The rapper, an independent artist, became known for her explicitly sexual lyrics filled with profanity, as in the hits "Tcheca" (2017), "PPK" (2021), and "Cachorra Absurda" (2024), featuring MC Naninha. However, she has also demonstrated versatility in lighter tracks, such as "Te Deixo Crazy" (2021), featuring Thiago Pantaleão, and "Barbie" (2022), featuring Rebecca, Pocah, and Lexa.
