He always did all this without the help of a record company, but in early 2010 he signed a contract with EMI Group. This contract resulted in the recording of his debut album Dream Parade in Los Angeles. The first single from this album is the song This Town. With this, 3FM immediately chose him as 3FM Serious Talent. Giel Beelen called him the greatest talent of 2011 on March 10, 2011 during the broadcast of De Wereld Draait Door. His first single This Town was named 3FM Megahit on March 27 and Dotan was a guest at Giel Beelen and De Wereld Draait Door.
His debut album Dream Parade was released on May 20 and was immediately named by CD of the week on 3FM and 3voor12. Dotan received positive reactions for his album in magazines such as OOR, Elsevier, Metro and de Volkskrant. His second single Where we belong was linked to Amnesty International's international campaign, which is why he flew to Nigeria to perform for the slums of Port Harcourt. The accompanying clip grew into a YouTube hit with more than 200,000 views.
In the summer of 2011, Dotan appeared at various festivals and was a guest on the larger radio and television programs. Then Dotan started his "Dream Parade Tour" through the big clubs of the Netherlands. Dotan's debut album will also be released in several other countries, of which Israel is the first.
Dotan's unique voice is often compared to Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody.
Dotan reached a milestone by being the first artist in history to remain on the number 1 spot in the Serious Talent charts for more than 5 months. With this he leaves artists such as Caro Emerald, Go Back To The Zoo and Krystl behind. This chart is based on the popularity on the social media of the artists. A nomination for the Serious Talent Award 2011 followed, but during the presentation at Paaspop 2012 it was announced that he did not win this prize.
Dotan went on tour with Gavin Degraw in February, with whom he played in sold-out venues such as the Melkweg and Oosterpoort. Two months later on April 17, 2012, he provided the opening act for Sinéad O'Connor in the main hall of the Paradiso.
In April 2018, after several months of research, Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant revealed that Dotan had enlisted the aid of at least 140 troll accounts to boost his online reputation and following. These accounts disparaged other musicians and made up feel-good stories about chance encounters with fans. de Volkskrant also revealed that Dotan's management had repeatedly tried to alter Dotan's Dutch Wikipedia page. The singer later confirmed the existence of these accounts, apologised, and terminated all his social media activities.

Feel it crashing and burning, 'til it all collides
Strike a match lit the fire, shining up the sky
As it all comes down again
As it all comes down again
As it all comes down again, to the sound
The sound of the wind is whispering in your earCan you feel it coming back?
Through the warmth, through the cold, keep running 'til we're there
We're coming home now, we're coming home now
The sound of the wind is whispering in your ear
Can you feel it coming back?
Through the warmth, through the cold, keep running 'til we're there
We're coming home now, we're coming home now
Hear the voices surround us, hear them screaming out
We'll be crying for mercy, we'll be crying out loud
Burn the bridges in our town 'til the point where we drown
As it all comes down again
As it all comes down again
As it all comes down again, to the sound
The sound of the wind is whispering in your ear
Can you feel it coming back?
Through the warmth, through the cold, keep running 'til we're there
We're coming home now, we're coming home now
The sound of the wind is whispering in your ear
Can you feel it coming back?
Through the warmth, through the cold, keep running 'til we're there

The lyrics to Dotan's song "Home" convey a message of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. The song begins with the lines "Run past the rivers, run past all the light, feel it crashing and burning, 'til it all collides". These lines describe a sense of chaos and destruction, but they also suggest that there is a way through it. The second verse speaks to the sound of the wind and the idea that we can feel it coming back. This creates a sense of hope and anticipation that something better is on the way.
The chorus reinforces the idea that we are running towards home, towards a place of safety and belonging. The lines "Through the warmth, through the cold, keep running 'til we're there, we're coming home now" suggest that we may have to endure difficult times, but we will ultimately find a place where we can rest and rejuvenate. The bridge of the song introduces the idea of voices surrounding us, screaming for mercy. This creates a sense of chaos and uncertainty, but the chorus reminds us to keep running towards home through it all.

Run past the rivers, run past all the light
Move quickly beyond the water and the brightness
Feel it crashing and burning, 'til it all collides
Experience the destruction until everything comes together
Strike a match lit the fire, shining up the sky
Ignite a flame that illuminates the heavens
As it all comes down again
As everything falls apart once more
The sound of the wind is whispering in your ear
The breeze is speaking softly to you
Can you feel it coming back?
Can you sense its return?
Through the warmth, through the cold, keep running 'til we're there
No matter the conditions, continue moving until we reach our destination
We're coming home now, we're coming home now
We are returning to our place of belonging
Hear the voices surround us, hear them screaming out
Listen to the sounds encircling us, cries ringing through the air
We'll be crying for mercy, we'll be crying out loud
We will be pleading for compassion, with fervent cries
Burn the bridges in our town 'til the point where we drown
Destroy all the connections in our community until we can no longer survive
We are coming home
We are returning to our place of belonging

Run past the rivers, run past all the light.
Feel it crashing and burning, till it all collides.
Strike a match lit the fire, shining up the sky.
