Dana Malzer was born on the 8th of June 1990 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. After a short time her and her family moved to Cairo, Egypt where she began her schooling in the D.E.O. After 6 years she was off to move again to Bonn, Germany where she began to learn how to play the Clarinet and the Piano. She soon established a great passion for melodies and rhythms. After 4 years she moved to Muscat, Oman where she attended the American British Academy and joined a Band with two friends of her class. By the time she was 13 years old she was given the opportunity to perform at a yearly talent show which was hosted by school and whilst performing in front of 700 people she knew that this is what she wants to do for the rest of her life.
"Being able to influence the listeners perception or even just being able to make them smile with my music -I just can't describe what feelings it brings forward in me"
After having regular Band Practices the Band was looking for more opportunities to play on Stage in-/outside of school. The Band was asked to be the support acts for various local Bands and by year Dana noticed that there was a significant change in her musical life.
Learning to establish a more powerful vocal control she tried singing harder songs which could be out of her voice range. After a few weeks of practice she would then be able to reach that capacity.

One day she was asked to come and perform at at Radio Hi! Fm (International Radio Station in Oman). She performed one of her own compositions called 'Hey'. This song was the broadcasted twice a day for 2 weeks. Dana and her close friend were then asked to be the support act for The Proclaimers who had a gig at the Intercontinental Hotel in 2008. Dana performed multiple Duets which included covers of "Fields of Gold - Eva Cassidy, Imagine - John Lennon and Time after Time - Cindy Lauper". These were performed in front of nearly 3500 people amongst the audience.
Dana got a lot of musical inspiration from her Father (who used to be the lead singer and guitarist of a Rock and Cover Band when he was her age). After a short time of being in a Band he taught her how to play the guitar. Shortly after Dana managed to teach herself how to play power/bar chords and how to finger pick songs/notes.Still writing and performing her songs she is looking for more musical opportunities where she can exploit her musical talent.
