BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Grace Tandon (aka Daya) started taking piano lessons at the age of three and hasn't looked back since. By 2009, the prodigious young musician was enrolled at Accelerando Music Conservatory, Pittsburgh, where she soon impressed owner Christina Chirumbolo and lecturer Gino Barletta. The two brought the budding singer-songwriter to Los Angeles at the tender age of 16 to work on her material. The sessions produced her 2015 debut single "Hide Away", which generated considerable buzz thanks to rave reviews from bloggers Tyler Oakley and Perez Hilton. Her self-titled debut EP followed shortly thereafter and the singer grew her audience even further by touring with pop-rappers Jack & Jack. Daya's rise continued when The Chainsmokers featured her on their song "Don't Let Me Down", which topped the US Dance/Electronic Songs Chart in 2016. She even joined the dance music duo at that year's Coachella Festival to sing the hit for a packed crowd. While fans eagerly await new recorded material, Daya is still wowing fans everywhere she goes with her empowering anthems and slick productions.
