Daya's professional career began when her parents accompanied her to [[Los Angeles]] to work with Christina Chirumbolo and Gino Barletta, founders of INSIDE ACCESS by Accelerando, [[Leland (musician)|Brett McLaughlin]], Britten Newbill and Noisecastle III at [[Paramount Records|Paramount Recording Studios]]. It was during one of these writing sessions that her debut single "Hide Away" was written and recorded, and Barletta consequently introduced Daya to Steve Zap of Z Entertainment. Daya, who was a junior in high school at the time, said she didn't think anything would happen for a while, and went back to school the next day.<ref name="South Hills Living" /> A radio promotions veteran, Zap liked the song and was interested in helping to promote the singer, leading to forming an independent label with Barletta called Artbeatz.
