In the mid-2010s, caught up in a non-stop whirlwind of Billboard chart, streaming and Grammy accolades, singer-songwriter Daya was living the dream of every multi-talented musical teenager. Released when she was 16, her first two singles “Hide Away” (currently nearing 400M Spotify streams) and “Sit Still Look Pretty” (currently at 429M+ streams) reached the Top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100. Between the release of those hits and her platinum selling full length debut Sit Still Look Pretty, she sang as a featured artist on The Chainsmokers’ Top 5 nine times platinum smash “Don’t Let Me Down,” which won a Grammy Award in 2017 for Best Dance Recording. Daya performed at the White House Easter Egg Roll – where she met President and Michelle Obama – and later opened for Carly Rae Jepsen and MARINA before headlining her own tour.
“Over the years,” she says, “songwriting has become my primary emotional outlet that has allowed me to express my most personal thoughts, some that I wouldn’t be able to say one on one to anyone. I think it’s an especially magical quality of songwriting that I can say something either explicitly or abstractly and others will be able to find pieces of themselves within it. In addition to simply writing and singing pop songs, I hope to be creating a bed of emotion that leaves room for listeners to insert their own experiences into. It’s a blessing to be immersed in a creative community that allows me to write songs that are truly authentic to my life and which can also resonate meaningfully with others.”
I actually took my daughter but was thoroughly inpressed! Daya has an amazing voice and great stage presence. She is a positive roll model for her fans as well which is so important especially for her younger, impressionable fans. We were incredibly lucky to be able to see her in a small venue! Already looking forward to the next time she comes to town! My daughter hasn't stopped talking about the show either
Daya is a wonderful singer, and the time she was on stage was amazing but everything else at her show was awful. Except for parents, there was no one over 20 at the concert, yet they were still serving alcohol and there were some mothers that were very drunk and aggressive and the bouncer didn't seem to care. I'd get it if it was a rave, but your yelling and fighting with people half your age, and its acceptable. There is also a huge wait between everything. Doors opened at 7:30 but the opening act didn't start till 8:30 and he finished at 9:00 but Daya didn't come on till 9:30. I've never been to a concert that takes so long between the singers. I just can't believe there was alcohol allowed.
Took our 6 year old daughter - she loved it but even she said "It waaaasss soooo looonnggg!" With the 6pm start I figured it would be 2 1/2 hrs end by 8:30pm... Not the case. The late time would not have been bad if it was constant entertainment but the show basically went: entertainment for 20 mins *BREAK* entertainment 20 mins *BREAK*, etc... for almost 4 hours. Canned music, dancers & not like there were full bands setup. Was also a bit too loud - my daughter said this - not the parent. People were leaving with kids around us throughout the evening due to long run or loudness I assume. There were at least 4 breaks in the evening - big push to purchase merch on these breaks. Hosts would show a shirt or bracelet, etc... all in the aim of sell, sell, sell. The Hip had 2 intermissions & were done in 2 1/2 hours & had way more material than anyone at this. Daya & the dancers made the show for my daughter. We'd probably do it again but they could improve this show a great deal just by improving the flow.
