Dahlia is an aspiring singer/song-writer based in Toronto, Canada.
In every song she composes, she entwines into it a meaningful glimpse of a story of our life. The beautiful lyrics of her songs combined with an arrangement to match, I'm sure, will touch a corner of your life.
Influenced by a range of artists, Dahlia's unique style has the depth of Toni Braxton and Alicia Keys to the Jazz elements of Norah Jones to the folk-pop flavour of Jewel.
She was only 7 years old when she braved her first solo singing "From a Distance" by Bette Midler in front of hundreds of people and knew that music was exactly where she always wanted to be. Dahlia wrote her first song when she was ten years old, but was never trained to play a musical instrument. "When I turned 20, my sister bought herself a Steinway and what initiated as me fooling around on the piano turned into me teaching myself to play," says Dahlia.
She found herself composing a new song every week and finally being able to write the music to all the songs she had composed over the years.
"I lived in India and Dubai and came to Canada in 1998 not knowing if my music and talent would be accepted" says Dahlia, but she did not have to worry for long. She was presented with many opportunities including the honour of singing the National Anthem for U.N. dignitaries for International Peace Day at City Hall, a ranking into Mississauga's Top 25 Future Stars as well vocals on the title track Suburban Ghetto of local Toronto Rap artists, Tha Woodsmen.
She also started to perform at a number of venues including the Brandy Tree Lounge at the Westin Prince Hotel as well as a Lead Vocalist with the band Lady Kane at Alleycatz. In 2008, Dahlia entered into a local singing competition that landed her in the Top ten and an interview on Omni Television, CBC Radio and the Toronto Sun. But she knew that she did not want to be singing covers, so she started to work with her friends, Anant Persad and Marco Dela Cruz who being seasoned musicians were able to help produce the numerous songs she had been sitting on for so many years. Dahlia had voice training with talented vocal teacher, Shannon Gunn, who inspires her to grow and develop technically as well as artistically.
Her composition While You Were Gone, speaks of being in a relationship with someone physically, but realizing that they aren't mentally or emotionally available, is catchy and soulful. Another one of Dahlia's compositions 'Jump' will have you smiling all day with its strong message of finding hope and taking "a leap of faith" even when times are tough.
There is something that I'm forgetting here, and taking it for granted. Dahlia is my daughter, and what I'd like you to do is to please click on the link below and check out the video of her original song. She is participating in a contest and your views on youtube will count towards winning. I would greatly appreciate it if you can forward to your family and friends as well. So far she has received quite a number of responses and votes and the count is still going up, thanks to her family, friends and well-wishers.
I have been always wary about Dahlia's video being posted on the net in the past. When she used to sing on weekends at the Diner at Westin Prince Hotel in Toronto, my wife and I used to take her there ourselves and bring her back with us.
