**Daniela Gesundheit** is a vocalist, composer, and cantor whose work bridges ancient tradition and contemporary song. Known for her ethereal voice - described by Feist as “clear glass” - she brings intimacy and emotional weight to centuries-old Hebrew prayers, making them resonate with the immediacy of modern pop. Her album *Alphabet of Wrongdoing* was sparked when songwriter Jennifer Castle invited her to open a show with a cappella prayers, the first time she performed Jewish liturgy outside ritual. Reimagining the heavy prayers of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur for secular audiences, the album circles themes of forgiveness, mortality, and reckoning, offering what poet Alan Felsenthal calls “restor\[ing\] dignity to existence through music.” Praised by *Sunday Times* as “extraordinary,” by *Hey Alma* as “sublime,” and by *WNYC* as a “favorite discovery,” her music moves listeners regardless of background. Admired by peers like Maggie Nelson, Martha Wainwright, and Claudia Dey, Gesundheit continues to create performances that are timeless, intimate, and profoundly moving.
