Davina Michelle is a Dutch singer and YouTuber. She first rose to prominence when she competed in the fifth season of Idols in 2016, where she was eliminated in the duet rounds. The following year, she began posting covers on YouTube. Her cover of P!nk’s “What About Us” went viral and was praised by P!nk herself, saying “That's better than I will ever sound". As of June 2020, the video has over 17 million views and Davina’s own channel has over 1 million subscribers. In 2018, Davina appeared on the Dutch tv-programme Beste Zangers, where she covered Glen Faria’s “Duurt Te Lang”. The song became a surprise hit, topping the Dutch official Top 40 for eleven consecutive weeks, becoming the female solo artist with the longest-running Number 1 of all time, beating the 21-year-old record set by Céline Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On”. Success continued with the follow-up “Duurt Te Lang” which peaked at #7. The duet “Hoe Het Danst” with Marco Borsato and produced by Armin Van Buuren topped both the Dutch and Belgian national charts. It is currently certified triple-platinum in the Netherlands. In 2020, in response to COVID-19 pandemic, Davina released the charity single “17 Miljoen Mensen” with Snelle. It is a re-recording of Fluitsma & Van Tijn’s “15 Miljoen Mensen”.
