She sings solo vocals for Filip Kutev Ensemble's and Goran Bregovic's albums. She has also played a role in the Norwegian movie, Music for Weddings and Funerals. In 2010 she was awarded with the Bulgarian Medal of Honor.[1] Both Daniela and her sister, Ludmila Radkova, are considered by the Bulgarian mainstream and online media as representatives of the country on the world concert stages. Factor.bg includes them in a list of Bulgarian female artists, who "protect the spirit of the nation".[2] Unlike her sister, Ludmila Radkova, who is a regular guest at Bulgarian TV, radio and newspaper interviews, Daniela keeps her life private and it is her sister, who provides all the information for the performers.[3][4][5][6]
