Dinah Jane reflects on her journey as a member of Fifth Harmony, experiencing success while navigating the challenges of her Polynesian identity. Despite achieving milestones like the hit "Work from Home," she felt pressured to suppress parts of her heritage due to commercial considerations. After changing management in 2020, Dinah reclaimed her narrative through her album, "Juice County: Volume 1," which celebrates her culture. The new direction of her music and videos, especially "Ocean Song," emphasizes her identity, allowing her to express pride in her roots and artistry as she evolves from girl group dynamics to being an independent voice.
Coming from a girl group, we're all super ethnic; we range from all over.
Now that I'm an independent artist, I can champion myself and say, 'I'm proud of you for taking the reins.'
