DANA – strength in vulnerability.

‚My lyrics are so personal, sometimes showing them to the world scares me. But at the same time what always helps me going through a rough time is listening to other artist’s songs that speak to me. That indescribable feeling of finding a song and being convinced it’s been written explicitly for your current situation. I openly sing about my experiences with abuse, mobbing, self-doubt, grief, etc. because I want you to feel understood, I want you to know you’re not alone. I’d love to think of my songs as your companions. Like a warm hug or a friend’s shoulder to rest your head on.‘ 


Genre: Indie-Pop / Singer-Songwriter / Soul 


DANA is a 23-year old singer and songwriter. Growing up in a family with nothing but musicians, her brother being her first bandmember up to this day, it’s always been clear that music would be her everything. Her first EP involved getting the label-deal signed by her mum because she wasn’t of age yet, as well as playing at clubs she normally wasn’t allowed in at that point. EP number two „True“ opened several new doors concerning airplay and paved the way for over 200 live shows in the whole of Europe. 
2020 she started recording her first full length album. „Pretty Face“, the first taste off the album, is an hommage to letting go of a lukewarm relationship with a ‘pretty-faced, part-time prick‘, while still being an ode to self-love. “I can be a rainbow but you’re colorblind…” – the song is about knowing your worth and leaving behind what doesn’t feel right.  Attracting wide international attention including Rolling Stone India, „Pretty Face“ got our ears and hearts wide open for DANAs upcoming album.
