Daniela Droz (born August 16, 1977) is a Puerto Rican actress, singer, and television host.
Daniela [Yesenia Droz Serrano] started her acting career during childhood. Her stage debut took place in 1987, at age 10, in the San Juan production of the musical play Annie at Santurce Performing Arts Center. The Spanish-language production was produced by Benito Mateo, and also featured Nilka Desiree as "Annie", Kate Garrity as "Miss Hannigan", Luis Antonio Cosme as "Oliver Warbucks", and Claribel Medina as "Grace", among other noted performers. In 1988, she won the first prize award in 'Miss Maja Infantil' of Puerto Rico. Shortly after, she performed for several seasons, in a television comedy serial called: Maripili, opposite Puerto Rican leading lady Alfonsina Molinari, broadcast by WLUZ-TV, as well as various supporting roles in several sitcoms, such as Cuqui, and Carmelo y Punto, (Carmelo and Period), broadcast by WAPA-TV.
Daniela Droz lived in Laguna Gardens in her early years, while studying at Carvin High School in Carolina, Puerto Rico.
As the years came about, Daniela Droz became a young woman and her interests inclined to the music business, even though she had an alternate career as a fashion model. She became part of a merengue vocal group, studied communications at college, and after several attempts to fulfill her dreams of becoming a singer, in 1999, at age 22, she was signed by the EMI Latin recording label, and recorded her first album called: Cosas de Mujeres (Women talk), in the merengue genre. By then, Daniela was also known by the cognomen: La Dama de Hierro, (The Iron Lady). This surname is also the title of her first video clip, & her first hit single, composed by Marco Antonio Solís. The second hit single was Debo contar hasta diez,(I must count to ten), and her opposite leading man in the video clip was Cuban–Mexican actor Francisco Gattorno. Droz toured in Dominican Republic, and was the guest star of the television variety show Sábados de Corporán, in which she sang a duet with Dominican merengue singer, Kinito Mendez. After touring for a while throughout the Caribbean, she returns to Puerto Rico, and performed as the guest star of Mexican singer Alejandro Fernández's concerts at the Santurce Performing Arts Center.
