Profile-raising transatlantic support slots followed, with the band joining Mumford And Sons’ Gentlemen Of The Road US tour and then sharing stages with Florence + The Machine in the UK in December 2013. Haim soon expanded to a quartet when drummer Dash (son of Three Dog Night’s Danny) Hutton performed with the girls at the EP’s release party at Los Angeles’ Bootleg Theater and took up permanent residence behind the kit.Ī series of successful shows at the prestigious SXSW Festival in Texas led to Haim signing a UK deal with Polydor in June 2013. Reuniting with her sisters, Danielle formed Haim and the trio self-released their debut EP, Forever, in February 2012. She gained valuable experience touring with Jenny Lewis and as part of Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas’ touring band before joining CeeLo Green’s all-girl backing group.

However, after finishing high school, Danielle Haim was soon lured back into the musical fold. Despite this early breakthrough, the girls initially opted for further education over a full-time musical career, taking time over creating the songs that would appear on Haim’s 2014 debut album, Days Are Gone. Born and raised in California’s Sunshine Valley, guitarist/vocalist Danielle, bassist Este and versatile guitarist and keyboardist Alana mastered their respective instruments during their formative years Danielle and Este first cut their teeth with local pop-rock sensations the Valli Girls, whose “Always There In You” appeared on the soundtrack to the 2005 teen drama film The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants.

Siblings Danielle, Este, and Alana Haim are sisters who began doing it for themselves from a very early age.
