| BIOGRAPHY |
Dayna
Malow grew up in Skokie, IL, just 10 miles North of Chicago.
She began studying voice at the age of 14 and performed locally
throughout her High School years.
Upon graduating, she attended the University of Miami to study
jazz voice and studio recording. Living in Florida, surrounded
by some of the country's finest jazz musicians and immersed
in the Latin culture, one would think Dayna would have chosen
the path of jazz chanteuse or Latin songstress. Instead she
was most enthralled by the music coming from under the door
of her Kentucky born roommate. He introduced her to artists
such as Alison Krauss, Lucinda Williams, and Lynn Miles.
Her newfound passion inspired her to embrace the traditions
of Country music as both singer and songwriter.
After graduating college, Dayna returned to Chicago determined
to use her hometown advantage to jump-start her career. She
took every performance opportunity that came her way; singing
with acapella groups, swing bands, wedding bands, rock bands,
and country bands, at bars, clubs, festivals, and hotels. All
the while she constantly networked with musicians, club owners
and agents, knowing that eventually she would need these contacts
to get her solo project off the ground.
In late 2001, she did just that with the release of her first
album, Anywhere but here. The album received much local acclaim,
receiving numerous accolades and highly favorable reviews. Acting
as artist, manager, booking agent, and bandleader, Dayna began
booking shows throughout the Midwest.
By the end of 2003 she had secured dates with Country superstars
like Blake Shelton, Gary Alan, Mark Wills, and many others,
playing some of the areas most popular and prestigious venues
and festivals. Currently, Daynas 2004 schedule boasts over 80
shows. Her songs can be heard on Country radio stations throughout
the region, as well as various Internet and overseas stations.
In addition to her solo pursuit, Dayna regularly performs with
the Illinois based USO troupe, providing entertainment at special
events and military installations throughout the Midwest.
The release of her first album also brought many calls to collaborate
with various talented and notable songwriters. A result of one
such pairing was the song Duermo en las calle, written with
Fred Scott, Alberto Gaitan, Ed Williams, and Emilio Estefan.
Duermo en las calle was released by legendary Cuban artist Albita
Rodriguez, and is featured on her Grammy award-winning album
"Albita Llega". The song can be heard on Spanish radio
stations throughout the world.
In late 2003 Dayna began to plan the recording of her second
album. With longtime friend and Nashville based musician, Doug
Sisemore, acting as producer, she journeyed to Nashville to
work with some of Country musics finest. This Fall their efforts
will be realized with the release of her second album, Tangled
Up In You.
Currently Dayna can be heard performing throughout the midwest
at various clubs, festivals, and theaters. An up to date schedule
can be found at the website link below. Artists like Chicago
based singer/songwriter Antje and Mark Lonsway will soon be
releasing tracks she wrote or co-wrote. Be sure to keep a look
