South African born, Australian raised alternative pop artist Don Calya has built a solid underground foundation through her creative music genre and her strong performance skills. She is unapologetic for her confident ways and moves differently within the industry. She desires to leave a unique impact stating, "I aim to be a voice for the youth and my generation, creating a legacy that can give access and opportunities to those who can’t afford to live their dream.” Follow the podcast on Instagram and TikTok @songwriters_unblocked.
