Danay Suárez (born Danay Suárez Fernández c. 1985) is a Cuban R&B and rap singer. She has gained attention in Europe, mainly in France.

She appeared at the Banlieues Bleues festival April 8, 2011 and has appeared on national television in France. [1]

She got her start in the music industry in 2007 with a cold call to Cuban fusion king X-Alfonso. Her work with X-Alfonso led to her discovery a few years later by Gilles Peterson.[2]

Gilles Peterson included her on the first Havana Cultura album. She has also released a CD under her name.[3]

Billboard named her one of their 10 "up-and-coming" reggaeton artists in an August 2014 article.[4]

In 2017, she was nominated for four Latin Grammys in various categories, including Best New Artist and Album of the Year.[5]
