“I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me.”
Most of you probably know me as Tigerlily, but now you'll know that my real name is Dara; a DJ, Producer and mum.
I'm your every day Aussie girl, ocean loving, yoga doing, wellness enthusiast who wears activewear on a daily basis. I grew up in Maroubra Beach, Sydney, for me this will always be my happy place and growing up here helped stem who I am today and my love for nature and health.
My love for dance music developed when I started to go clubbing when I was a teenager and I felt like I found a place where I belonged. Since becoming a DJ, I have been lucky enough to play to tens of thousands of people all over the world, from Australia, Asia, Europe and the USA.
A question I get asked A LOT is where the name Tigerlily came from. In a nutshell, like many kids I wanted to be a pop star when I grew up, so much that I would make my sisters and friends join me in singing non stop and doing dance routines around the house. Tigerlily was always my pop start name and I suppose a DJ is the modern pop star.
I’m one of those people who LOVES what they do and am so grateful to be working in a time where my job role can involve multiple things that I love; music, health & fitness. I get to work with amazing brands, collaborate with creative individuals and business’ and meet so many new and like minded people. I am lucky to work with brands that I strongly believe in and love like JBL, Dyson and Hard Fizz.
I love the audience that I have developed on social media, and my journey would not have happened if it wasn’t for you guys. I want to continue this journey with you all, and continue working on my own projects as well as ones with brands, business’ and individuals who inspire, teach and motivate young people in more ways than one. I'm a strong believer that you should take those risks and opportunities that come your way, live a life that in 20 years time you won’t look back and regret. GET OUT THERE AND DO IT I SAY!
Lastly, thank you for visiting my website, please feel free to reach out to myself or any of my wonderful team.
