Dara Kristen Hayes (born 27 March 1992[1]), known as Tigerlily, is a DJ and Producer from Sydney, Australia.

Biography

From the age of 4 she attended music school, and she started DJing at the age of 18. She completed a Bachelor of Media and Communications majoring in Marketing and Sociology at the University of Sydney.[2] She was the runner up in the 2011 Your Shot DJ competition and was voted the 9th DJ of 2013 within the InTheMix Awards.[3] Her 2015 single, "Paradise", reached #67 on the ARIA singles chart.[4]

A mainstay across the biggest festival and club stages both in Australia and around the world; Tigerlily is no stranger to the global stage. Hand picked as one of Tiesto’s main support acts for Asia and the USA, Tigerlily has enthralled audiences on some of the world’s most renowned stages and venues. From Hakkasan in Las Vegas, Echostage in Washington D.C, and Create Nightclub in Los Angeles to Club Octagon in Seoul, Tomorrowland in Belgium, Lollapalooza in Sweden and the Main Stage of Ultra Music Festival and Electric Zoo New York City, just to name a few. When she’s not performing on the MainStage, you can find Tigerlily spinning for global leaders and brands such as Entrepreneurs Organisation, Bondi Boost, Samsung, Women’s Health, Australian Open, The Grand Prix and JBL Fest in Vegas and France.

Tigerlily's music is currently being released through Island Records in Australia and Casablanca Records in the USA which are both a division of Universal Music Group.

In addition to focusing on her DJ career, she runs a thriving podcast that has been airing for over two years, and has been in publications such as Women’s Health, Teen Vogue, GQ, Galore, Ladygun, Girlfriend and Cosmopolitan. She is also an ambassador for JBL, Samsung, and Adidas.

In April 2019 Tigerlily was cast in Ford Like You Meant It four-episode mini series, alongside Australian model and Muay Thai fighter Lilian Dikmans, World Champion surfer Harley Ingleby, and podcaster Matt Purcell.[5][6]

Personal life

Tigerlily is also a passionate animal rights and environmental ambassador. She has featured in PETA and Animal Liberation campaigns to promote her plant-based lifestyle.[7]

She is extremely active in the philanthropic community, often found speaking at, or fundraising for charity organisations. Recently, Tigerlily helped raise over $500,000 for the Australian bushfires and is a regular volunteer at animal sanctuaries around Australia.
