RELEASED 13TH SEPTEMBER
September 03, 2019
Singer-songwriter DAMI IM is set to release a new single Crying Underwater – out 13th September. One of Australia’s brightest and most loved performers, Crying Underwater is Dami’s first single release since 2016 and is an exciting precursor to a plethora of new music to come.
Crying Underwater is about something many can relate to about feeling sad and isolated but each day putting on a mask for other people. “There is so much pressure in today’s society to always look happy so we end up feeling like we’re not allowed to talk about how we really feel.. Just like you’re crying underwater where no one can see you crying”.
Co-written with Michael Tan and produced by Andy Mak, Dami wrote majority of the song sitting at her piano at home where she feels the most comfortable.
Dami’s musical foundation was laid from an early age when she started playing the piano at the age of 5. Her music teacher recognized her talent and recommended she apply to study at the Conservatorium when she was just 10.
While training to become a concert pianist, she developed a love for singing pop music as a teenager and after obtaining her Classical piano degree Dami went onto pursue a Masters in Contemporary Voice. The Australian singer-songwriter first came to national prominence when she won The X Factor.

Her self-titled debut album & single ‘Alive’ both debuted at #1 on the ARIA charts. Since then she has released three more acclaimed studio albums & performed all over the world.
In 2016 Dami became Eurovision Royalty when she earned the highest score ever achieved by an Australian entry, and her single ‘Sound of Silence’ charted globally.
Earlier this year Dami joined Human Nature on their 2019 national tour and most recently performed at the prestigious Adelaide Cabaret Festival in Dami Im: My Life In Songs. Part concert, part storytelling, Dami’s debut at The Adelaide Cabaret Festival was well received with critics describing her as the “darling of Australian music”, offering “an insight into the charm and sweetness of this fierce lioness” (hi-fi pop chronicles).
Dami is currently in the middle of her DREAMER tour that will see her crisscrossing up and down the east coast of Australia before concluding in Perth on the 16th November. Tickets on sale now via https://www.damiim.com/tour.
