About Dami Im
Dami Im is one of the most revered Australian artists of the new millennium. The singer-songwriter first came to national prominence when she won The X Factor in 2013. Her self-titled debut album & single ‘Alive’ both debuted at #1 on the ARIA charts. She has since released three more acclaimed studio albums and 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. Just weeks after being crowned runner-up at Eurovision, the passionate advocate for children living in poverty travelled to Uganda to meet her Compassion sponsored child.
