Dan Aykroyd, renowned for his roles in classic films such as *Ghostbusters*, is not only a beloved actor but also a proud father to three adult daughters. He shares these daughters—Danielle, known professionally as Vera Sola, Belle, and Stella—with his former wife, Donna Dixon. The couple, who were married for nearly 40 years, announced their separation in 2022. Despite this change, their commitment to their daughters remains strong.
Danielle Aykroyd: A Career in Music
Danielle Aykroyd, born in November 1989, is the eldest of Dan and Donna’s daughters. She has carved out a distinct path as a poet and singer-songwriter.

In 2017, Danielle launched her solo career, self-releasing her debut album, *Shades*, in 2018. She took a hands-on approach, performing, producing, and arranging her music.
