Daphna Dove (born 14 July 1975 in Hamburg, Germany) is an American musician. She is best known for her appearance on the TV Show Rock Star: INXS.

Early life

Daphna was born in Germany in 1975 and raised in New York City, to which she moved at age 3 with her parents, Jewish-Israeli-German singer-mother Elisa Gabbai and her Jewish-Yugoslavian-German father Nico Anducic, who is credited with having discovered the band Scorpions. Although she graduated from Syracuse University with a double major in Communications and International Relations, Daphna resolved to pursue a music career, and moved to Los Angeles for that purpose. In Los Angeles, Daphna played with the band Lexington and worked as a legal secretary until her successful audition for the TV Show Rock Star: INXS, in which INXS was looking for a new lead singer.
