About Daya (singer)

Grace Martine Tandon, known professionally as Daya, is an American singer and songwriter from the Pittsburgh suburb of Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania. She released her self-titled debut extended play (EP), Daya, on September 4, 2015. The album includes the song "Hide Away," which peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. She released her debut studio album Sit Still, Look Pretty on October 7, 2016. She is currently signed to ONErpm. The Chainsmokers' "Don't Let Me Down", for which she provided vocals, was a worldwide top-ten song and became one of the best-selling singles of all time. Chirumbolo and Barletta founded INSIDE ACCESS, a music camp where the two worked with Daya and eventually invited her to Los Angeles in February 2015 to work on original material. It was during one of these writing sessions that her debut single "Hide Away" was written and recorded, and Barletta consequently introduced Daya to Steve Zap of Z Entertainment. Daya was invited to perform at the 2016 White House Easter Egg Roll, where she and her family met President Barack Obama and the First Lady Michelle Obama.
