Dima Doulov is a Toronto-based multimedia artist that goes by the name We Needed This. He is a first-generation immigrant born in Russia and raised in Canada. From a young age, he fell in love with music from his father's own love of classic rock and pop. When his family bought him a copy of Guitar Hero II in 2006, Dima got his first experience of feeling like a musician.
After graduating with a degree in Interactive Multimedia and Design in Ottawa in 2019, he pursued different artistic projects and established himself as We Needed This. The name is based on the feeling of doing something that's long overdue; like catching up with an old friend, or going on that dream vacation.
Under the We Needed This name, Dima has released two albums (Fever Machine and Characters), an EP (What Could Have Been), an A/V performance containing music from all three (DIGITAL DISCOMFORT), an instrumental mixtape (BEYOND THE FRAME), and is currently working on a new album.
