"Especially considering how hard it can be for women in PNG and the Pacific, with a lot of cultural stuff and all of that. So yeah, it's a real big achievement."Social media users celebrated Danielle's win."Thanks to you to put PNG women's standard of music to the next level. Much love, you are truly blessed no matter what."
Danielle submitted two songs to Pacific Break 2022 — Fight, and Let Me Love You — both of which were highly commended by the judges for their warmth and depth.
