Darnaa’s two-week stint in South Korea will be both a musical and cultural exchange for the artist. “I can't wait to experience the culture, and learn as much as I can about the different customs--from their style of music to dance to fashion to the food. I can't wait to learn more about KPop music and have the chance to share mine,” she explains. The artist also has several high profile performances scheduled including a shows at the Indie Music Festival at “Light and Sound Art Hall,” Club Holic (for the Maximum Party) and a collaboration performance at NESTNADA.
