Dana Vaughns is an aspiring pop singer, dancer, and social media influencer who has established a large fan base due to his painstakingly cultivated credibility on web-based entertainment platforms. As a ten-year-old, he was thrown into the national spotlight when he played a cameo in the song “Hoedown, Throwdown” from the film “Hannah Montana.” Dana demonstrated an early interest in the performing arts and began taking dance and singing training as a toddler to enhance his innate abilities. His family made the monumental decision to relocate to the entertainment industry capital of the United States—Los Angeles—so that he would have the best possibilities to flourish in his chosen professions. 2009 marked the beginning of his professional career, and by 2010 he was a founding member of the boy band IM5, which was formed at the end of 2010. Nearly two years after the foundation of the youth band, Dana, Dalton, Gabe, Will, and Cole embarked on a nonstop tour that allowed them to amass an enormous fan base. Before he auditioned for ‘IM5,’ Vaughns was a member of the ‘Kidz Bop brand, an anthology of songs sung by children.

Early in his career, he landed a small role in “Hanna Montana: The Movie,” a 2009 teen musical drama-comedy film starring the famous singer, actress, and songwriter Miley Cyrus. He had a brief appearance in the song ‘Hoedown Throwdown’ written and recorded for the film.
Dana relocated to Los Angeles in order to build a name for himself in the entertainment world as a singer and dancer. His parents provided him with full-fledged support in this endeavor.
He was an active part of the ‘Kidz Bop’ group, which consisted of children who recorded album compilations of popular contemporary music. In 2010, he was invited to audition for a boy band formed by notable musicians including Jamie King, Simon Fuller, and Perez Hilton.
The formation of the all-boys band IM5 with Cole Pendery, Gabrielle Morales, William Jay Behlendorf, and David Scarzone was the most significant turning point in his professional career to date. With the release of their single ‘Everything about You,’ the boy band first gained national recognition.
In 2012, IM5 recorded and produced a rendition of ‘It’s Gonna Be Me’ by N. Sync that also resonated with audiences. However, in March 2014, Dana revealed that he was leaving IM5 in order to rebuild relations with the Texas-based rock band Fly Away Hero.
Later on, three founding members of IM5, Dana, Cole, and Gabrielle, formed a trio to continue composing avant-garde music and embarking on extensive tours. Without the support of a large publishing label, IM5 independently composed, recorded, and promoted their songs, resulting in amazing achievements.
