Grand like Lorde and sunshine-bright like Katy Perry, singer/songwriter
Daya first climbed the charts as a 16-year-old high school junior. Born
Grace Martine Tandon -- "daya" is the Hindi word for "grace" in a nod to
her Indian grandfather -- and raised in the Pittsburgh suburb of Mount
Lebanon, she began taking piano lessons at the age of three, and moved
on to voice lessons at the age of ten. Songwriting came later, and in
2014 she signed with the Z-Entertainment label based on her demos. A
year later, her single "Hide Away" took off thanks to early adopters
like Tyler Oakley, Perez Hilton, and other bloggers. In 2015, Daya
issued her debut self-titled EP on Artbeatz. Both "Hide Away" and the
follow-up single "Sit Still, Look Pretty" rose to the Top 50 of the
Billboard Hot 100, with a number 14 debut on the Heatseekers chart. She
later contributed vocals to the Chainsmokers' 2016 summer smash "Don't
Let Me Down" (which went on to win the Grammy for Best Dance Recording).
Her debut, Sit Still, Look Pretty, was released later that year. The
album peaked at number 36 on the Billboard 200. In 2017, she appeared on
the Gryffin and Illenium track "Feel Good" and released her own single,
"New."
