Of course you recognize Dinah Jane as singer, songwriter, performer, actress, and member of award-winning multi-platinum pop powerhouse Fifth Harmony.

However, her forthcoming solo project embodies who she always aspired to be:

“Rebirth! This era is a symbol of rebirth. I’m coming into my own. I’m listening to myself, and I’m trusting myself through the process as I dive into my projects moving forward. It’s either sink or swim at this point, and just feel like my culture, my people, the Polynesian people, deserve to also be seen.”

A rather unbelievable journey brought Dinah to this point. A Tongan-American girl raised in Orange County, she grew up surrounded by her many family members. Dinah describes her formative years as “always a movie.” With grandma’s piano in the living room and boom boxes constantly blaring, music united the family.

“Every time there were disagreements or when things were close to falling apart, music made us one all over again”.

While attending Orange County School for the Arts, Dinah devoted weekends to recording in Carson, CA, scrounging up money for gas any way possible. By the age of 11, her covers of Leona Lewis and Beyoncé started to gain traction. Years later, a fateful performance on X Factor led her to join Fifth Harmony, and she spent the next five years on a rollercoaster to pop superstardom.

After taking time to reflect and discover herself away from the music industry, Dinah returns with an incredibly powerful ballad in Maybe Later I Will, the song represents finding her passion in music and in life once again.

“Before this journey, I was having an identity crisis. I feel like a part of me was just manufactured and I was lost. Like, “who am I?”,” she admits. “I feel like right now, now that the time is here where I want to come back into it, my vision is coming to life, and it’s things that I’m passionate about, things that I wanted all this time, and it came in time. Maybe Later I Will is that journey for me.”

Outside of music, Dinah is expanding her empire into a full “Dinahsty” as she ventures into products, merchandise, movies, and other new media.

“I hope listeners connect with my story and how personal every song is,” she continues. “I’m talking about my life, family, and relationships. I’m not holding back. I’m embracing my flaws and becoming confident. I’ve learned how to really accept and love who I am. I’d love to encourage everyone else to do the same.”

The Phoenix has Risen.

Back with an incredibly powerful ballad in “Maybe Later I Will”, Dinah’s new song represents finding her passion in music and in life once again.

“It’s about a girl just drowning in her emotions, and I wanted to capture a moment like that where it symbolically says:“I’m literally drowning in my own feelings, drowning in my own silence, drowning in that.

And this is the rebirth where it’s like, no more of that, it’s time to speak up. My voice matters and it doesn’t matter who is above me, whose title is in my life. It’s certain family members or people in my work business, it’s just, it’s time to speak up. That’s what the song feels like to me.”
