Im won the fifth season of The X Factor Australia and subsequently received a recording contract with Sony Music Australia.
After winning The X Factor, Im released her debut and winner's single "Alive", which debuted at number one on the ARIA Singles Chart. This was followed by the release of her self-titled second studio album, which debuted at number one the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association.

Early life
Dami Im was born in South Korea on 17 October 1988[5][6] to Lee Hae-yun, a trained opera singer, and Im Dong-eal.[7] She is the older of two children.[7] Im began learning the piano at the age of five,[7] and she taught herself to sing by recording herself copying her favourite artists.[8] Aged nine, Im emigrated to Australia with her mother and younger brother Kenny because their parents thought they would have more opportunity growing up in Australia.[7][9][10] They stayed with their uncle in Brisbane,[7] while her father stayed in South Korea to earn money to support them.[8][10] Im's parents now live together, spending part of the year in Australia and part in South Korea.[10]
Aged 11, Im began studying at the Young Conservatorium of Music program at Griffith University.[11] She was a national finalist in the Yamaha Youth Piano Competition, and won the Nora Baird Scholarship and the Queensland Piano Competition several times.[11] Im attended John Paul College in Daisy Hill, Queensland and graduated in 2005.[12] She never sang while at school and would only accompany the choir on piano, and play violin for the school's Silver Strings group.[13] In 2009, Im graduated from the University of Queensland with first class honours in a Bachelor of Music.[14] She subsequently completed a Masters of Arts degree in contemporary voice at Griffith University.[15] Prior to entering The X Factor, Im was a music and piano teacher.[16]
Career

Im had a short career as a gospel singer in Korea,[8] performing at Christian youth camps.[15] In 2010, she released her debut studio album, Dream, which consisted of nine tracks and was recorded to raise money for church endeavours.[17] In July 2011, Im re-released the album with two extra tracks, which were both sung in English.[18] On 5 December 2011, Im released a Christmas extended play called Snow & Carol, which consisted of seven tracks.[19][20] On 9 July 2012, Im released her second extended play, Intimacy, which consisted of five tracks.[21]
2013: The X Factor Australia
In 2013, Im successfully auditioned for the fifth season of The X Factor Australia, singing "Hero" by Mariah Carey.[9][22] She progressed to the super bootcamp round of the competition and was placed in the Under 25 Girls category.[9][23] On the first day of bootcamp, Im sang "I'm with You" by Avril Lavigne in front of her entire category and judges Redfoo, Ronan Keating and Dannii Minogue.[9][23] On the second day of bootcamp, she was put into an ensemble of 10 and they sang "Next to Me" by Emeli Sandé in front of the judges.[23] Im made it to the third day of bootcamp, where she sang "Jesus Loves Me" by Dolly Parton to the judges and a live audience of one thousand.[24] After the judges made changes to the Boys, Girls and Overs categories, Im became part of the newly formed Over 24s category and was eliminated.[25] However, Im was called back for the home visits round in New York City to replace Matt Gresham who decided he could not commit to the competition.[26] During home visits, she sang "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé in front of her mentor Minogue and guest mentor Kylie Minogue.[26] Minogue later selected Im, along with Barry Southgate and Cat Vas, for the live finals—a series of ten weekly live shows in which contestants are progressively eliminated by public vote.[27]
For the Judges' Choice-themed first live show, Im sang "One" by U2 and received a standing ovation from the judges, with Natalie Bassingthwaighte saying she had "the best vocal of the night".[28] Im's performance of "One" peaked at number 42 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[29] For the Legends-themed second live show, she sang "Purple Rain" by Prince and received another standing ovation.[30] Keating told Im that the competition "at the moment, is yours".[30] Her performance of "Purple Rain" debuted at number 29 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[29] For the Top 10 Hits-themed third live show, Im sang Thelma Houston's version of "Don't Leave Me This Way",[31] and her performance of the song debuted on the ARIA Singles Chart at number 67.[32] Following the eliminations of Vas in week two and Southgate in week three, Im became the last remaining contestant in Minogue's category. After her performance of Katy Perry's "Roar" in the Latest and Greatest-themed fourth live show, Im received her fourth consecutive standing ovation from the judges.[33] Im's performance of "Roar" debuted at number 44 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[29] For the Rock-themed fifth live show, she sang "Best of You" by the Foo Fighters and received her fifth standing ovation.[34] Im's performance of "Best of You" debuted at number 78 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[35]
Following Im's performance of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Water" during the Family Heroes-themed sixth live show, her mentor Minogue notably teared up as she dedicated Im's song choice to her parents and grandfather, following the death of her grandmother.[36] Im's performance of "Bridge over Troubled Water" debuted at number 15 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[29] For the Judges' Challenge-themed seventh live show, Im sang Zedd's "Clarity", which was chosen by Keating, and her performance debuted at number 77 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[37][38] Im received a mixed feedback from the judges following her performance of John Farnham's "You're the Voice" during the Aussie Week-themed eighth live show.[39] Keating said "it was pitchy and a weak performance" and Bassingthwaighte agreed.[39] For the Power and Passion-themed ninth live show, Im sang "Saving All My Love for You" by Whitney Houston and "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus.[40] Her performances of "Wrecking Ball" and "Saving All My Love for You" debuted on the ARIA Singles Chart at numbers 61 and 85, respectively.[41]
During the grand final performance show on 27 October, Im was required to perform three songs – her audition song ("Hero"), winner's single ("Alive") and last shot song ("And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going").[42] Her performance of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going", which debuted at number 29 on the ARIA Singles Chart,[43] got all four judges standing on the judges table.[44] Redfoo said Im's performance was "the best thing I've ever seen in my life", while Minogue added that she is "world class".[44] Im's performance of "Hero" debuted at number 62.[45] During the grand final decider show the following day, Im was announced as the winner.[46]
