Bio
Destini Beard is a lyrical soprano and songwriter in the Classical, Gothic Rock and Horror Soundtrack genres. She first gained prominence as the debut vocalist for the Horror Soundtrack group Midnight Syndicate, introducing her unique vocal presence to a devoted global fan base. Her critically acclaimed albums, The Dark Masquerade released in 2010 and A Time Forgotten released in 2012 , have stood the test of time—enthralling fans for over a decade with their cinematic soundscapes and melodies.
Destini was invited to her first international performance at the Svaneholm Slott castle in Sweden, and since then has been performing across the United States.
Her albums were featured on Rue Morgue radio, Dark Beauty Magazine, and are played nationwide on the award-winning Rock/Metal radio show "Rock Solid Pressure Show," and International Radio show "Metal Mischief" on Progrock.com. In 2014, Destini made the top 10 most popular digital album download from Amazon Music.
Expanding her creative collaborations, Destini has joined forces with award-winning UK Synthwave artist Sam Haynes and guitarist Gary Bennett, producing several chart-topping singles including Incantations at Midnight, The Haunting is Over, and Every Night is Halloween. Each track blends haunting orchestration with Beard’s signature gothic vocals, further cementing her reputation as one of the leading voices in dark alternative music.
Bringing us up to 2025, Destini released her original album, "Visions and Keys," consisting of 10 emotive piano tracks of mediation, reflection, hope and, of course, some spooky tones! All tracks are composed and performed by Destini.
Destini also teamed up with famed fantasy artist Ed Beard Jr. to create the soundtrack for the DragonLord, released August 1st. The project invites listeners into a world of magic and myth inspired by 13 stunning fantasy artworks from Ed Beard Jr.’s DragonLord series. The album features dynamic melodies and epic orchestral storytelling, now available on Bandcamp.
Destini performs five songs on Sam Haynes’ acclaimed new album, Thirteen released on Sept 26th — including the dark rock single “The Dark of You,” the orchestral piece “Nocturnal,” and three additional tracks available exclusively on the album. Her signature vocals and storytelling add depth and emotion to Haynes’ latest release.
In addition to her musical releases, Destini is the composer and songwriter for the hit podcast “Eerie Travels,” where her atmospheric compositions enhance the show’s eerie narratives and supernatural themes.
Destini's music and vocals can be heard throughout the country during various Halloween Haunt events, performances by the renowned theatrical group Phantasmagoria, and the book series "Dark Gospels" by Author Michael Cooper!
Performing across the United States and abroad, Destini Beard continues to bring a dark, theatrical twist to every performance, creating an immersive experience that transports audiences into a world of mystery and beauty.
