ABOUT

It takes a little time if you really want to get to the core-phenomenon of Daniela Schaupp who is a charismatic bundle of energy.
At the age of five Daniela Schaupp declared her dream to become a musician. She was classically educated up to adulthood and the love for composing her own music started to grow.

She toured Austria and Italy with different formations as their pianist. Daniela loves the “romantic-being an artist-existence”, as she calls it. In 2013 she founded her band “Pianocrash”. The desire to completely focus on the music grew constantly andchanged the artist to a person driven by her own creativity with a great deal of sarcasm.

On stage Piano Crash keeps on surprising the audience, also by changing the line-up according to the current program. The sound of the band is frequently refined with electronic sounds by Marco Palewicz. The first record “PIANOCRASH” will be released and then proudly presented on the stages of Europe in September 2015

Permanent enhancement and indulging into all kinds of musical influences are trademarks of this band and their style-therefore it's really hard to categorize them!

“Strictly speaking my musical origin is classical music, but I have rock 'n' roll running through my veins and you can definitely hear that.” (Daniela Schaupp)
