Ireland's adopted queen of soul, Dana Masters, hails from South Carolina where music played a huge role in her family's activities in church, community and civil rights. Meeting her husband - Northern Irish pastor Andrew Masters - in LA, Dana eventually moved with him to Northern Ireland and fell in love with the island's charms and wild winds. She was adopted by Belfast's jazz scene, and performing with trumpeter Linley Hamilton, Dana found herself singing one evening, while heavily pregnant, for an audience that included Van Morrison, and became Van's featured backing vocalist for years after. Her NI home continues to inspire her music, inspiring her rising career as an international soloist.
