ALBUM

Dan’s latest project, “NiLØ,” is a musical compilation spanning the last decade of their life, exploring themes of gender fluidity and cultural transformation. It consists of 10 episodic tracks narrating Timm’s transformative experiences in Berlin. 

With influences ranging from Brazilian icons like Djavan and Caetano Veloso to contemporary soul and r&b artists like Liniker, Danilo Timm’s music fuses Brazilian grooves, synth-pop beats, and neo-soul riffs, jazzy tunes, and even a bit of schlager. 

Danilo Timm’s voice is an undeniable highlight, reflecting their years as a musical theater performer and vocal coach. As Matheus Nascimento of Brazilian magazine O Grito! aptly put it in words, “It’s always impressive to witness artists like Danilo who are aware of their vocal production quality.”
