Dana Gavanski is a Canadian singer-songwriter, of Serbian descent, resident in London.[1] Her first record was released in 2017 and she is currently signed to Full Time Hobby[1] in the UK.

Career

She was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Gavanski had considered following her father Ogden into the film industry.[1][failed verification] After developing her music for a year she released her first EP, Spring Demos, in 2017 via Fox Food Records.[1][failed verification]

In 2019 Gavanski released two singles, "One by One" and "Catch"; both were co-produced by Mike Lindsay of Tunng.[2][3]

Gavanski recorded two sessions for BBC Radio 6 Music's Marc Riley show in 2019.[4][5] In early 2020, Gavanski supported Damien Jurado on his European tour.[6]

On 27 March 2020, Gavanski released her debut full-length album, Yesterday Is Gone.[7] Exclaim! music magazine, which had declared Gavanski as one of "eight emerging Canadian artists you should hear,"[8] awarded the album 9/10.[9] Music website Monkeybiz described the album as "a beautiful work of art".[10] BBC Radio 6 Music made Yesterday Is Gone its album of the week.[11][unreliable source?]

The tour to promote Yesterday Is Gone was postponed, initially until later in 2020 and subsequently until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[12]

On 5 June 2020, Gavanski released a cover version of King Crimson's "I Talk to the Wind" with proceeds donated to charity.[13] On 14 August 2020 she released Wind Songs, an EP composed of four cover versions and a traditional Macedonian folk song.[14][7]
