At the age of fifteen, Donya Dadrasan moved to Australia after leaving her country of origin, Iran. Away from her native country and not living at a large Iranian population city, her only outlet was social media. This is when 18 years old Donya began to post dubsmash videos of herself singing other people’s songs, not just in Persian but also showing off her voice singing in English. Her videos were always made in her bedroom performing with the only musical equipment she could buy, a microphone. It took a while, but her Instagram page started to get attention and gain fans.
