Daniela Andrea Avanzini Llorente (born July 1, 2004) is an American singer and dancer. She is best known as a member of the girl group Katseye, formed through the 2023 reality show Dream Academy. She was previously a top 10 finalist on the 13th season of So You Think You Can Dance in 2016.
Daniela Andrea Avanzini Llorente was born on July 1, 2004, in Atlanta, Georgia to Latin American parents, Rafael Avanzini and Ana Llorente. Her mother is Cuban, and her father is Venezuelan with European heritage, including German, Italian, and Spanish ancestry. She is fluent in English and Spanish. With both parents being professional Latin ballroom dancers and dancesport instructors, she was exposed to music and dance at a young age, learning dancesport when she was three years old. Her mother was the first Cuban to win a world ballroom championship.
Avanzini's dance career began with local competitions in Atlanta, but she soon took to international stages. In 2011, at seven years old, she was a 2nd place grand finalist at the international competition Super Kids Europe. At eight years old, she appeared on Univision’s Sábado Gigante, where she danced a choreographed jive number. In 2013, she made it to the Vegas Rounds of the eighth season of America's Got Talent alongside her partner Yasha Jeltuhin as a samba dancer. She also participated in So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation, where she was the first contestant eliminated, placing 10th.
Beyond dance competitions, Avanzini appeared on The Queen Latifah Show alongside Jeltuhin, as part of an "America's Most Talented Kids" segment. She has also worked as a model and actress in commercials, including for Haverty's Furniture at seven years old. In 2021, Avanzini appeared in the independent film Georgia Sky, where she portrayed a young dancer.
As a young dancer, she also explored herself through music. At age 11, she began uploading videos of herself singing and playing the ukulele to social media.
In 2020, Avanzini appeared in the episode titled "Capital District Pipe, Chef Quani, Daniela Avanzini" as a dance guest in the latest revival of the American children's television series Wonderama, performing an original choreography with salsa, hip-hop, acrobatic and jazz elements.
