DANA – Strength in Vulnerability
"My lyrics are so personal, sometimes showing them to the world scares me. But what always helps me through tough times is listening to songs by other artists that speak to me. I want my music to do the same for you—to be a companion, like a warm hug or a friend’s shoulder to lean on."
Genre: Indie-Pop / Singer-Songwriter
Swiss singer-songwriter DANA creates music that celebrates vulnerability. Her first two EPs (2016 & 2019) gained radio play and set the stage for over 200 shows across Europe with her tight-knit band, which includes her brother and close friends.
In September 2022, DANA released her debut album Future Daughters, which earned her significant media attention in Switzerland and Germany. She was named SRF3 Best Talent that same year.
The following year, DANA’s career skyrocketed: She was nominated for a Swiss Music Award, played major festivals like Zurich Openair (Mainstage) and Gurtenfestival (Waldbühne), and capped the year with a double concert with Jessie J at the Baloise Session.
Last year, DANA toured festivals, released her second album Teary-Eyed, and went on her first headline tour. As she steps into 2025, she’s excited to share the next chapter of her musical journey with her listeners.
DANA’s songwriting is raw, authentic, and fearless. Her live shows invite audiences into a space of shared intimacy. While her music addresses topics like abuse, bullying, and mental health, it always carries a message of hope, strength, and resilience—transforming pain into power.
