Danielle Anne Louise Gooding,[1] professionally known as Flava D, is an English UK garage, grime, bassline and drum and bass DJ and music producer.

She is one third of the supergroup TQD, alongside fellow producers Royal-T and DJ Q. Gooding spent her childhood moving between Birmingham and Bournemouth and grew up listening to early popular UK garage releases such as DJ EZ's Pure Garage mix CDs, as well as local pirate radio stations.

Whilst working in a record shop from the ages of 14 to 16, her boss, who was a DJ, encouraged her to start producing music on Ableton.

Multiple of her tracks were featured in the album release of the third iteration of long-standing grime 'clashing' event Lord of the Mics, hosted by Jammer.

With continued growth thanks to critically acclaimed releases such as her In the Dance EP which Resident Advisor stated was "so energetic that it's hard not to get sucked in",[7] Flava D gained the attention of other artists making bassline and UK garage music and began working with fellow Butterz member Royal-T.

This would then go on to be their debut single "Day and Night", released on Butterz on 18 April 2015, both digitally and as a limited 500 copy vinyl pressing.

[13] The trio gained ample attention due to their releases and increasingly popular live sets and thus began working on an album together.
