Originally from the Deep South in the United States, Dana grew up with the sound of soul, rhythm and blues and gospel music all around her. Her love for music developed as she grew up and led her to study music, majoring in vocal performance at university. Music took Dana from South Carolina to Minneapolis and then onto Los Angeles where she lived for four years and where she met the Irish man who would later become her husband. Dana has been living in Northern Ireland since 2008.

Dana Masters launched her debut EP at a sold out concert at The MAC in Belfast last April. She will play at The Sugar Club on November 17.

Tickets for the event are priced at €15 and can be found on The Sugar Club's website: www.sugarclubtickets.com
