Dana Fuchs (born January 10, 1976) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and voice over talent. She played the role of Sadie in the 2007 film Across the Universe.
Fuchs was born in New Jersey and raised in the small town of Wildwood, Florida. When she was twelve, she sang in the First Baptist Gospel Choir. At sixteen, she led a local band at a roadside Holiday Inn.
Her band sold out shows at the Mercury Lounge, the Stephen Talkhouse and BB King’s, sharing the bill with national acts, including Little Feat, Marianne Faithfull and Etta James.
The Dana Fuchs Band put out a CD, Lonely For a Lifetime, in 2003. Fuchs has claimed that she "wanted to capture a soulful and rocking vibe…but with an earthiness to it.” Her second album, Live in NYC, was issued on April 1, 2008, by Antler King Records. On April 13, 2011, Fuchs released another studio album, Love to Beg.
Fuchs played Sadie in the Julie Taymor film Across the Universe, performing covers of several Beatles songs. She also played the singing Janis Joplin in the Eric Nederlander production of Randall Myler's off-Broadway musical Love, Janis. With Jack Livesy, Fuchs wrote and performed songs on the soundtrack for the Big Beach production of Laurie Collyer's independent film Sherrybaby including the opening and closing title songs. She also worked for MTV during the 1990s and 2000s as the voice of many of its on-air promos, mostly for 10 Spot shows.
Fuchs was the lead singer of The Dana Fuchs Band, releasing one studio album and one live album. She has released two studio albums and one live album in her solo career.
