Romina Daniele has been recognized as Italian composer of electronic and experimental music, extended techniques vocalist and performer, writer. Lately she has been working as photographer and blues singer.

She degreed Cum Laude in Cinema and has been studying art criticism, history of art, aesthetics, architecture, theory and history of photography for her entire life. She has been researching technologies applied to art, sound technology and multimedia, earning two master’s degrees and achieving global recognition through her record and book publications. She has been through both philosophical and multimedia paths extensively.

She completed classical studies and she's always been involved with the literature investigative processes: all her work is very bonded with the true meaning of philosophy which is one thing of making art in her experience.

Romina Daniele's solo artist career started in 2005 in Italy, awarding the Demetrio Stratos International Award for musical experimentation for the emerging artist best project. In the same year, she released Diffrazioni Sonore, a complex album project focused on the relationship between improvisation by extended vocal techniques and construction by new compositional technologies published in the 2010 by RDM Records.
In the 2008 she released the second record Aisthànomai, il Dramma della Coscienza (cd, 2008), for voice and electronics, in which the sound research and the sonic composition, as in the field of vocalism as in that of electronics music, are the main elements.

She has also published in the 2010 for the book publishing label RDM Records the collected poems Poesie 1995-2005 (e-book/book; Italian and English bilingual Edition) and the essayes Il dialogo con la materia disintegrata e ricomposta, un'analisi di Thema (Omaggio a Joyce) di Luciano Berio and Il luogo della musica nell'audio-visione (e-book/books, Italian). The latter is her thesis, written with the supervision by professor Augusto Sainati, on the relation between sound (the music of Miles Davis) and images (the cinema of Louis Malle).
