Danielle Balbuena[1] (born June 13, 1997),[2] known professionally as 070 Shake (pronounced "oh seven oh shake"),[3] is an American rapper and singer. She is best known for featuring on English singer Raye's 2022 single "Escapism", which peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaked atop the UK Singles Chart, and won Song of the Year at the 2024 Brit Awards.

Early Life

Balbuena was born in North Bergen, New Jersey, and is of Dominican descent. Balbuena attended North Bergen High School, where she played on the school's basketball team.[2] Prior to her music career, Balbuena wrote poetry.[4]

Career

2015–2016: Early years

Shake began her music career in late 2015, recording the songs "Proud" and "Swervin".[4] Shake's stage name is derived from her affiliation with the 070 music collective with 070 coming from New Jersey's 070 ZIP Codes. By 2018, the 070 crew was noted to have 11 members, including artists and producers.[4]

By 2016, Shake was earning hundreds of thousands of streams on SoundCloud.[5] Soon after posting several songs on SoundCloud, Shake attracted the attention of Miami-based promoter and social media personality YesJulz.[6] After hearing "Proud" specifically, YesJulz reached out to Shake on Twitter, quickly signing on to be her manager.[6] Shake broke through with "Trust Nobody", released early in that year.[1] In August, Shake collaborated with fellow 070 members Ralphy River, Hack, and Treee Safari on the single "Honey".[7][8] The song featured production from frequent collaborators, The Kompetition,[8] a three-person production group.[4] "Honey" simultaneously premiered on Complex and 1 AM Radio on Dash.[7] Vibe commented that the track "[sounded] tailor–made to rock on dance floors everywhere."[8]

Also in 2016, Shake signed with Kanye West's GOOD Music label.[4] GOOD Music found out about Shake through Julz, as she played some of Shake's music at a Yeezy fitting, interesting the label's president, Pusha T.[6] After signing Shake, the label picked up her "Trust Nobody" track and re-released it in September.[1] Shake spent October and November opening up for English rock band The 1975 during the American leg of their 2016 tour.[1] On December 8, 070 released their first mixtape, The 070 Project: Chapter 1.[6][9]

2017–present: Glitter, Modus Vivendi, You Can't Kill Me and Petrichor

Shake modeled for Gypsy Sport's Fall 2017 runway show.[10] She also went on her first headlining tour in April.[11] In a 2017 interview with Paper, Shake mentioned her Yellow Girl EP would release later that year.[12] However, the project was moved back to release after Glitter, another collaboration with The Kompetition.[4]

Musical style and influences

Her musical style has been described as pop, alternative, ambient, and hip-hop.[13] Shake has cited Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill, Paramore, and My Chemical Romance as the artists who've inspired her music.[14]

Personal Life

Prominently referenced in her music, Shake uses she/her pronouns when describing lovers.[15] A 2017 Vogue essay on rising queer stars in rap music mentioned Shake's sexuality and included an Instagram image of her with her then-girlfriend.[10] In a 2018 Pitchfork article, Shake said she doesn't like to put labels on her sexuality. "I don't really identify myself as queer or gay or anything. I just like girls."[16] She was in a relationship with singer Kehlani from 2021 to 2022.[17]

Since January 2023, she has been in a relationship with actress-model Lily-Rose Depp.[18]
