Friday, Nov 15 Popscene + Rickshaw Stop co-present DAYA with Cailin Russo 8 pm doors $20 adv / $22 doors all ages A Grammy Award winner before the age of 20, Daya virtually grew up onstage. She was a synth-pop innovator from the start, earning a double-platinum hit with "Hide Away" — her self-empowered debut single, co-written when Daya was still in high school — and teaming up with the Chainsmokers for "Don't Let Me Down," a dance anthem that sold more than 10 million copies in America alone. Then, at the height of major-label success, she threw the rulebook out the window and reclaimed her independence. Daya is her own boss these days, and her unique pop music — dreamily ethereal one minute, rhythmically kinetic the next — has never sounded brighter or bolder. The process of regaining control began with records like The Difference and In Between Dreams, two critically-acclaimed EPs that blended pop, R&B, and electronic influences together. Both records arrived in the wake of Daya's gold-certified debut album, Sit Still, Act Pretty, and they doubled down on her sparkling synth-pop sound while also representing something new: a willingness to explore, experiment, and embrace the full range of her interests. After all, Daya had evolved as a person since her teenage years. Shouldn't her music do the same? A songwriter since the age of 12, Daya has spent more than a decade sharpening her ability to balance euphoric melodies with beat-driven bounce. That ability hasn't just earned her a number of gold- and platinum-certified singles; it's also resulted in collaborations with artists from across the musical spectrum, from hip-hop duos and EDM acts to internationally-celebrated DJs. "Love You More," a Top 40 hit in Canada, finds her teaming up with electro-house producer Felix Cartal, while "Sometimes…" pairs Daya's otherworldly vocals with Snakehips' disco stomp and a coolly kinetic verse from hip-hop duo Earthgang. https://linktr.ee/dayaCailin Russo is a Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, model, and entertainer renowned for her distinctive style and timeless sound.
