Daneliya Tuleshova
Daneliya Tuleshova released "Trouble," a three song EP, on April 14, 2023 with original music. Her unique voice blended with the music won't disappoint her fans all over the world. These songs are sure to compete with even the more seasoned artists. Now it's up to her fans to like, share and promote her new music to get the attention of their local radio stations. (This may not be the Daneliya you are used to from her younger years). Since then she has begun working with a new production team and released two new originals, with videos, "Tied" and "Cynical." While I liked the "Trouble" EP I love her newest originals more. She also has input she didn't have before so it makes things more interesting.
I first heard Daneliya sing on The World's Best. The judges called her The Vocal Wonder. She earned sixth place in the competition. I couldn't believe the powerful voice coming out of such a small person. Yes, her English was broken in the early years and you had to listen close to understand her when she was interviewed but when she sang? It was amazing. Now, many years later she has only gotten better and even recorded a few original songs.
After performing in talent competitions in Europe and on America's Got Talent (finishing in the top 10 again, I believe) she came back on AGT All Stars and didn't disappoint. I'm sure many of her fans were discouraged when she didn't advance (I know I was disappointed). It was probably disappointing to Daneliya as well. Rumor has it she has no future plans to compete any more.
She doesn't need the competitions. Her fans around the world already know she's talented as her more than 1 million YouTube subscribers can attest. If she continues with covers and works on more originals I believe she will go far. She has worked hard and deserves it.
Only recently have I discovered her younger work in Kazakhstan as well as recordings of cover songs that don't just pop up when you do a search for her on YouTube or Google. Many of them are either in her native language Kazakh or Russian. She speaks Kazakh, English and Russian. She also performed at least twice at charity benefits for Ukraine. In fact one of her earlier competitions was in Ukraine. Here is a link to her Voice Kids audition and she really impressed the judges. She was 10 and went on to win it all! It's not in English but there are subtitles. She sang one song in English (Stone Cold) and was asked for an encore, which may have been in Russian.
I have found videos of interviews and performances when she was younger but they are mostly in Russian. They are still fun to watch because you can see how relaxed she is and how happy performing makes her.
There's a couple of videos where she sings with other AGT and Voice artists as part of a project called D2D Destiny. I really like the one she is in with Jaydn Riley, Darina Krasnovetska and Kenadi Dodds - Better Place/Symphony.
She has actually won many awards, recorded music videos and even performed solo concerts in Kazakhstan. She has been on stages in Russia, Switzerland, Ukraine, the U.S. and moved to Boston to study here while pursuing her dreams.
You can find her mostly on YouTube but she is on Spotify, Instagram and posts a lot on TikTok but I don't have an account. It's hard to keep track because so many people create accounts pretending to be her, but I believe these are her official social media links ...

From a 2-part interview on GAKKU TV
From her audition for Voice Kids Ukraine when she was 10. All four judges selected her. She chose Monatik.
Daneliya at her AGT audition when she was 13. She wowed the judges and the audience with her powerful voice, performing "Tears of Gold."
Daneliya has performed on many stages and programs. This is from a lengthy interview (in Russian or Kazakh) and shows her passion for performance and a mix of her seriousness and lightheartedness.
A video was recently released of Daneliya and Monatik performing together at a charity concert for Ukraine. Monatik was the voice coach she chose when she auditioned for Kids Voice Ukraine.
I first heard Daneliya, age 12, on World's Best where she was called "The Vocal Wonder."
