Danjeli Schembri (born 25 January 198?) is a musician and composer from Qrendi, Malta, who records and performs as Danjeli.

He first appeared on the Maltese music scene in the mid-2000s, with a healthy mix of live electronica and experimental music, often fusing in Maltese lyrics. Recording as a solo artist, his work first appeared on a Pinkpube release called Peace, Love & Electronic Music (PUBE008) released in the autum of 2005. Track Two from this debut EP was included in 10times10: A Pinkpube Compilation Vol. 1 (PUBE010). At this time he was also appearing live with other Pinkpube performers at Naasha in San Ġwann.

His next Pinkpube release in 2006 Fyziks (PUBE013) was followed by Kakofonija (PUBE025) in 2007. In this album, Danjeli presented a new approach to a rawer form of electronic music fusing various styles with fresh experiments in folk, bittersweet lullabies and Maltese vocals. On its release, Pinkpube declared that "This is true Maltese electronic music". [1]
