Having released her album In Between in July, headed off on its accompanying tour, won The Masked Singer Australia - all while chasing after her 18-month-old son H Harry - it's fair to say that Dami Im has had a busy and fulfilling 2023. But before she can relax and spend some time off with her gorgeous toddler and husband, Noah Kim, there's just one more thing left to do on her list - release her festive new album, Christmas Songbook. Luckily, the extremely busy and talented singer and songwriter wouldn't have it any other way.
"When you say it all out loud, I realise just how much I've actually packed in and it is a lot!" the 35-year-old musician exclaims to WHO during our chat, after she invited the team into her Brisbane home for an exclusive family photoshoot.
"It's not easy trying to balance having a career and a family, feeling the pull between spending time away and making sure you are home enough but it's worth it," she confides to WHO. "I want Harry to know that his mum will be there for him, but that she can also do amazing things outside of the home and follow her dreams too."
How hard was it to keep the secret that you were behind the Snow Fox on The Masked Singer?
Luckily, I was recording my Christmas album at the time, so I was able to tell everybody that was why I was in the studio and they all believed me! It was also true because I was working on the album the whole time we were filming on set as we were locked in our own little solitary pods. I went on the original Masked Singer in South Korea a few years ago and it was so much fun, so when I got asked to do it here in Australia, I jumped at the opportunity.
What does it mean to you to win?
Going into this show, I put zero pressure on myself. My only hope was that I didn't want to be the first one to be unmasked, so winning is an amazing bonus.
