About
Dara gave Bulgaria its first ever Eurovision win, taking the 2026 contest in Vienna with "Bangaranga". She won both the jury vote and the televote, and her 173 point margin over second place is the biggest in the contest's history. She also picked up the Marcel Bezençon Award for Best Artistic Performance, voted by the commentators. She first got noticed in 2015 as a third place finalist on the Bulgarian X Factor, then signed with Virginia Records. Her 2016 debut single "K'vo ne chu" hit the top of the Bulgarian charts. A debut album, Rodena takava, followed in 2022, and ADHDara arrived in September 2025. Along the way she became a coach on The Voice of Bulgaria, winning twice as a coach. She also trained in folk singing with traditional Bulgarian vocal techniques, and in 2026 she set up her own production and management company.
