DAMALI

Age: 16
Hometown: Norwalk, California
Residence: Norwalk, California

Damali grew up singing around the house and began writing songs at seven years old. In third grade, she held her own concert in the schoolyard and charged 25 cents per ticket. She continued to pursue music, but it became increasingly harder when her parents enrolled her in a military and law enforcement high school. Although she loves the structure and discipline of school, Damali doesn’t plan to join the military. She is currently a high school senior and has a steady gig singing at a lounge in Los Angeles.
