Bio

Daada’s music bridges continents and cultures. The German-Colombian-Tanzanian artist makes multilingual music that blurs the borders between Pop, Afropop and Latin. Currently based between East Africa and Berlin, her multilingual, transcultural songs sound like a cocktail of Ayra Starr, Billie Eilish and Karol G.She began songwriting at age seven, accompanied by her violin. A few years later she picked up her grandma’s old guitar and never looked back; weaving stories in English, Spanish, Swahili and German ever since. 'Daada' derives from Swahili for 'sister'; paying homage to the multicultural universe that holds Daada's music and of course to sister- and womanhood: cornerstones of her message.

Bio

Daada makes music for those who feel at home in many places — and in none. Raised in Tanzania by a Colombian mother and a German father, she grew up between languages, cultures, and rhythms. Her songs are a reflection of that — a magnetic brand of Pop infused with Afro and Latin that speaks in English, Spanish and Swahili.She wrote her first songs at seven, violin in hand. Then came her grandma’s old guitar, and with it, a never-ending love affair with songwriting. Since then, Daada has been telling stories — of love, identity and strength.Somewhere between urban and earthy, with a unique voice, Daada’s sound is global urban pop with a heart — warm, danceable, and impossible to pin down. Rhythm rooted in movement and that transcends borders.Her name is derived from the Swahili word for sister — a tribute to connection, sisterhood, and cultural roots. Now based between Berlin and Bogota, Daada is part of a new generation of artists shaping the sound of belonging — eclectic, multilingual, and magnetic. You don’t just listen to her music — you find pieces of yourself in it.

Bio

Daada macht Musik für alle, die sich an vielen Orten zuhause fühlen – und doch nirgends so ganz. Großgezogen in Tansania von kolumbianischer Mutter und deutschem Vater, bewegt sie sich zwischen Sprachen, Kulturen und Kontinenten. Ihre Songs vereinen Pop, Afro und Latin zu einem Sound, der so vielfältig ist wie ihre Identität – erfrischend, mehrsprachig, tanzbar.Ihre musikalische Reise begann mit sieben Jahren an der Geige, doch es war die alte Gitarre ihrer Großmutter, die sie endgültig zur Songwriterin machte. Ob Englisch, Spanisch, Swahili oder Deutsch – Daada erzählt Geschichten, die von Liebe, Identität und Girl Power handeln. Ihr Künstlername Daada leitet sich vom Swahili-Wort für Schwester ab – ein stilles Zeichen für Verbundenheit, Empowerment und kulturelle Tiefe.Daadas Musik klingt nach Grenzenlosigkeit – irgendwo zwischen Serengeti, Karibik und innerer Heimat. Eine neue Stimme im globalen Pop, die nicht nur Songs schreibt, sondern Räume schafft: für Identität, Gefühl und Verbindung.

Biografia

Daada tworzy muzykę dla wszystkich, którzy czują się jak w domu w wielu miejscach – a jednak nigdzie całkiem. Wychowana w Tanzanii przez kolumbijską matkę i niemieckiego ojca, porusza się między językami, kulturami i kontynentami. Jej utwory łączą pop, afro i latin w brzmienie tak różnorodne jak jej tożsamość – świeże, wielojęzyczne i taneczne.Jej muzyczna podróż zaczęła się w wieku siedmiu lat od skrzypiec, lecz to stara gitara babci uczyniła ją ostatecznie autorką piosenek. Niezależnie czy po angielsku, hiszpańsku, suahili czy niemiecku – Daada opowiada historie o miłości, tożsamości i sile kobiet. Jej pseudonim artystyczny Daada pochodzi od suahilijskiego słowa oznaczającego „siostrę” – to cichy znak więzi, empowermentu i kulturowej głębi.Muzyka Daady brzmi jak wolność od granic – gdzieś pomiędzy Serengeti, Karaibami a wewnętrznym domem. Nowy głos w globalnym popie, który nie tylko pisze piosenki, ale też tworzy przestrzeń: dla tożsamości, emocji i połączenia.

Bio

Daada is a German-Colombian artist raised in Tanzania. Now based between East Africa and Berlin, she makes multilingual, transcultural pop music. Daada first started songwriting at age seven and quickly took refuge in it to piece together a third-culture-kid identity. “Daada” derives from the Swahili (Tanzanian) word for “sister”. The pseudonym pays homage to the multiculturality that hugs her music but also to sister- and womanhood: cornerstones of her message. Expect delicate threads of pop and soulful singer-songwriting in English, Spanish, German and Swahili - all underpinned by catchy, danceable beats. She takes the stage with producer and good friend Maono.In 2022, Daada unveiled her first EP via Motor Music. It is a Spanglish collection of coming-of-age stories written over vastly different times and spaces, from Bogota to Berlin detailing first experiences of falling in love, desire and toxic relationships. In 2023 she unveils a new Afro-infused project with two Amapiano singles "Kiti" & "I'll See You" (listen here). Her music has earned Spotify and Boomplay editorial playlisting, airplay and interviews in Europe ( RBB Fritz (DE), Radio Eins (DE), Global's Smooth Chill (UK) ), and Africa (East Africa TV & Radio (TZ), TBC2 (TZ), Clouds (TZ), Nation FM (KE) ), attention from digital & print media (The Citizen (TZ), RBB Kultur (DE), Verdadera Locura (ES) ) as well as a nomination by Amazon Music Germany Breakthrough & All Hands on Deck as Top-6 Newcomer.Daada has performed at several Sofar Sounds and Festivals across Europe. This is only the beginning - with lots more eclectic and borderless music on the way in 2024.
