Daniela Miglietta (born 12 November 1969 in Taranto, Italy) is an Italian singer, actress and novelist. She has released 11 albums in total.
In 1988 she took part in the Sanremo Music Festival in the New comers category with Sogno. It didn't happen, however it was noticed by the melodic songwriter Amedeo Minghi, who wrote the song Canzoni for her in the following year. Mietta won the New comers category and the critics award Mia Martini. In the same year she was awarded her first platinum album and the Telegatto as best new artist of 1989, with the support of votes from Italians.
In 1990 Amedeo Minghi, with his talent as a scout, sang a duet with her in Vattene amore, the song that won third place in the SanRemo Festival and has been interpreted into English 'All for the Love' by Nikka Costa. The song also won the OGAE, an international song contest, and became an evergreen, winning ten gold records. Her debut album, also entitled "Canzoni", went five times platinum and is published throughout Europe. In 1990 she again won two Telegattos: One for the song of the year and the other award for best female artist of the year.
Mietta returned to The SanRemo Festival in 1991 with Dubbi no, sung in English by Leo Sayer, and won another Telegatto as the female artist of the year. Her second album "Volano le pagine", which contains a cover version of Lover Man, won two platinum record awards.
In 1992 she released "Lasciamoci respirare" album and in 1994 "Cambia pelle", besides two duets with Riccardo Cocciante and another SanRemo with Figli di chi, song written by Nek.
In 1995 Mietta continued with musical experimentation, tackling different types of music, from soul to blues, from hip hop to the trip hop album "Daniela è felice". Her music video Oggi Dani è più felice won the MTV award in England as best foreign video transmitted for the year.
