Earlier in 2013, Dayana was also chosen to represent Russia. This was for the children's contest at the 2013 Slavianski Bazaar. She had also just missed out on this in 2012. At Slavianski Bazaar, she shared third place with Galina Dubok from Ukraine.
Dayana's Performance Style
Dayana's teacher, Eleanora Kalashnikova, often praises her. She says Dayana has a great vocal range. She also has amazing stage presence. According to her teacher, Dayana loves performing. She acts like a "grown-up" on stage. Performing for a big audience is a "sheer pleasure" for Dayana.
Most of Dayana's songs are written just for her. Her teacher, Eleanora Kalashnikova, composes them. She explains that songs from cartoons no longer fit Dayana's voice. So, she creates special songs that are perfect for Dayana.
