\u201cI am really relishing being in a sacred space where everybody is pretty damn happy.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpending time at Lotusland, going to my yoga classes, meeting up at Lucky\u2019s or the Honor Bar, taking amazing hikes up to Skofield Park.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love going to the farmers market on Tuesdays, having dinner with friends at Brophy Bros., or just walking the streets downtown, finding little gems.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd of course the arts community, which is so tight knit and giving of their time. It\u2019s a great place to lay your head at night.<\/p>\n

Taylor Dayne has traded the hustle of Los Angeles for a new life in Santa Barbara<\/p>\n
Dayne\u2019s life took a dramatic turn in 2022 when a routine colonoscopy caught colon cancer in its early stages.<\/p>\n
The singer underwent urgent surgery to remove 25cm of her colon, but severe post-operation complications left her bedridden in hospital for 20 days and battling for her life.<\/p>\n
By the end of her treatment, the singer\u2019s weight had dropped to a fragile 44kg.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got really, really sick, and it gave me a new sense of purpose,\u201d the mother-of-two told People<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n \u201cI said, \u2018I\u2019m not ready to go. I\u2019m going to fight this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI went through hell and back \u2026 But I hold my hands on my heart, I look at my audience, and then I go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n Before moving to Santa Barbara, Dayne primarily split her time between Los Angeles and the East Coast.<\/p>\n In early 2024, she listed her long-time five-bedroom home in Valley Village, Los Angeles, for $2.5 million and previously purchased an oceanfront condo in Fort Lauderdale, Florida<\/a>.<\/p>\n Born Leslie Wunderman, Dayne rose to overnight stardom in late 1987 when Tell It To My Heart blew up in European nightclubs.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was overnight stardom,\u201d the musician told Stellar<\/a> in 2017.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything was catch-up. We had to make a video. We didn\u2019t even have a record [ready].<\/p>\n \u201cI was just a woman in my early 20s, working in a Russian nightclub and going to the studio at two or three in the morning to lay down tracks.<\/p>\n \u201cI was so sick of being in bands by then; I wanted to go solo.<\/p>\n \u201cWe borrowed money from my father and we made \u2018Tell It To My Heart\u2019. I got that track off a guy I went to high school with who was working at [a music label]. We were hustlin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n The smash single launched a massive career that went on to sell 75 million albums worldwide, two Grammy nominations and chart-toppers like Love Will Lead You Back and Prove Your Love.<\/p>\n Her 1993 album Soul Dancing was her last super successful venture.<\/p>\n Dayne told the outlet she \u201ctook it personally\u201d when her tracks suddenly stopped charting in the mid \u201990s, but finds that kind of accomplishment practically irrelevant in the streaming era.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat is radio anymore? What is Top 40? I make my own radio station happen now,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n This article was originally published on realestate.com.au<\/a>. Discover more stories.
