| Summary |
The inspirational memoir from Australian singing sensation and Eurovision grand-finalist Dami Im. From her very first appearance auditioning for The X Factor in 2013, Dami Im showed the power of her unforgettable voice. As she made her way through the rounds, we learned more about this Brisbane music student with the impressive talent and electric stage presence. When she was announced the winner, her fans, the Dami Army, were right behind her. Three years later at Eurovision, Dami topped the judges' vote and narrowly came in second overall, taking Australia to its highest-ever placing and gaining fans all over the world. How this shy Korean-born Australian girl, who started school with very little English and kept her dream of becoming an entertainer to herself, became a global sensation is a story of sacrifice, determination and talent. Behind the scenes, however, some in the music industry had tried to change her, pressuring her to do as she was told and sweeping aside her creative input. Dami didn't give in - she refused to compromise her values and stood up for herself and her vision. Now, she has emerged as the artist she was always destined to be. Dreamer is an inspiring story of faith, family, determination and talent, and a powerful reminder that dreams can come true."--Back cover. |
