Singer/songwriter, Daria Kulesh (aka Eternal Child), was born in Moscow, Russia. Her Russian roots are reflected in her music, intertwined with multicultural influences she has experienced on her turbulent and exciting journey through life. Her debut solo album Eternal Child was launched in 2015.
"A phenomenal debut album" (Pete Bradley, Fatea Magazine)
