Life and career
Massara is from Coolbinia, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. Massara was a "tom-boy" as a child with an interest in sports. She initially stayed in Australia with her grandparents when her parents and older brother, Presley, moved to Los Angeles, California in the United States so he could pursue acting. Indiana attended Mercedes College in the City of Perth before making the decision to join them.[4][5][6]
Massara walked the Los Angeles Fashion Week runway at the age of 14.[7][8]
Massara began working with Brat in 2017 when she landed the role of Rooney Forrester in Chicken Girls,[9] a character she would also play in various series and films for the network such as Attaway Appeal, Chicken Girls: The Movie, Holiday Spectacular, Intern-in-Chief, and cameos in Total Eclipse and Stuck.[10] She also hosted Brat Chat alongside Darius Marcell[11] and performed the theme song for Red Ruby, "Run You Down".[12][13]
Massara released her debut single, "Drama" featuring Stoppa, in 2017, which made it into the top ten chart on Radio Disney.[14] She has been in the top three on Radio Disney multiple times as well as receiving radio play in the United States, Australia, and Canada.[5][15] Massara has released several singles including "Smoke In My Eyes",[16] "In Your Dreams",[17] "Do Yourself A Favour"[18] and "Apology" featuring 24hrs in 2018 and "That Day"[19] and "I Think We're Alone Now" in 2019.[15] She is currently working on her first EP.[20]
In October 2018, Massara went on her first ever tour alongside Tayler Holder, Zach Clayton, and Joey Birlem with Swipe Up Live in Australia.[16][21] Massara opened for Why Don't We, Bryce Vine, and Ava Max at 103.7 KISS-FM's Kiss the Summer Hello in June 2019.[22]
