Donya Dadrasan is an International Artist who was born on 15th of March 1998 with a passion for world music. Her music career began at the age of 8 when she started playing piano and was followed by years of acting. 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.

In interviews she has mentioned that living in Australia has placed her at a distance from the music industry, making Instagram the only way for her to reach listeners. Without any financial support, she worked in Cafe’s, walked the neighbors dog, and did little jobs wherever she could to save enough money to rent a studio room to record her cover songs. In that same studio room she recorded original songs.


Donya’s main goal was to sing her own original songs. This is when she started to connect and collaborate with other songwriters in the Iranian industry. She released a few singles to test out the feedback, knowing her songs can easily get lost in the crowded music scene. This proved to Donya, that even as a 20-year old young girl, she has a chance to make a name for herself. This started a whirlwind process of recording new songs and filming music videos. She ended up releasing her debut album called “Donya” in late December 2018.which produced her biggest hit yet, the song “Koo Ta Biad”, which has over 23 million plays on Radio Javan. This time the song was a dance track that turned into a music video which has over 1 million views on youtube and 9 million views on Radio Javan. With her youthful spirit and with practice from always acting in front of the camera on her own, it was easy for this music video to capture the hearts of many new fans.
