Daria has toured extensively in the UK and Europe, sharing stories and songs that are deeply personal but feel universal and timeless.

Every performance is an “emotional, compelling and uplifting experience”, leaving the audiences “completely spellbound”.

She has a special bond with local artist and illustrator James Mayhew - during the performance James will be creating visual responses to the music. He has kindly offered to auction the finished artwork to raise funds for the festival.

Born in Russia but based in the UK for the last 15 years, Daria fearlessly explores her heritage and turbulent family history in Ingushetia (North Caucasus) with songs that “aren’t just sung, but lived” (FATEA)
