Born on 5 April 1988, to Miguel Barrios Luján and Amalia Rodríguez Gómez, she is the youngest of three daughters. She started her artistic career at the age of five when she played María on the show Plaza Sésamo (the Mexican version of Sesame Street). She shot to fame in 1996 with the telenovela Luz Clarita, where Daniela played the main character, seven-year-old Luz Clarita. Daniela went on to star in other telenovelas like El diario de Daniela and Primer amor, a mil por hora. She has released two solo albums, one in 1999 titled Por un mundo mejor ("For a better world") and the other in 2001 titled Corazón.com ("Heart.com").

In 2004, she signed a contract with Menudo creator Edgardo Díaz, who is now in charge of her singing career.

In February 2017, she returned to Univision to become the captain of Pequeños Gigantes USA.

In 2024, Luján returned to telenovelas, starring in Papás por conveniencia. Later that year, she competed as "Huesito Peligroso" during the sixth season of ¿Quién es la máscara?, reaching the finale and finishing in third place.
