NEXT UP! | Fana Hues Drops Visual to support her single “Icarus” after it’s added to Issa Rae’s Insecure

Published

on

Fana Hues is a 25-year-old singer songwriter and actress who recently released her first official project, calling it a “collection” instead of an album or EP. This is because, she has said, she sees this project as a culmination of her whole life and experiences.

She grew up one of nine children in a very musical household. She told Teeth Magazine that everyone in the family grew up playing instruments, so it felt very natural to her to be musical and perform, even if it was just in her own backyard.

The collection “Hues,” dives into relationships, pain, infatuation and the convergence of love and loss that happens all too often.

One of the feature songs “Yellow” on the collection is a soft and emotional piece that features grainy piano sounds and smooth electronic beats in the background with a video showing the artist camping and dancing among her friends. “Desert Flower” is a a delicate and heartbreaking song where Fana Hues sings about sadness and pain with beautifully angelic vocals over a simple animated video underscoring the hurt in her words, “am I too much?/ am I enough?”

At the tender young 12 years of age he took an after-school class to learn the violin, but only began to progress when he learned to focus once he had private teachers. Daniel named Miri Ben Ari as his major musical influence.

A friend of Daniels’ dad hired him for an event at the age of 16 and at that point he noticed he can make a living from playing his violin professionally. He then began playing local events around his hometown. Later that same year, Daniel was the Full Scholarship Winner of “Summer In the City 2005” and studied thereafter at the esteemed Julliard School of Music.

Since graduating Julliard as a classically-trained musician, Daniel’s talent has taken him around the world, he has performed at the Atlanta Jazz Festival, toured with the Coca-Cola College Tour, had shows in Spain, Canada, Hawaii, and Barcelona, however in a recent interview with SouthernLaced, he cited his performance at the Beverly Hilton before stars such as the late Michael Jackson, Larry King and others as his most memorable experience to date.

The future is looking exceedingly bright for this talented young man calling himself Daniel D, who only picked up the violin initially to meet girls, we can’t wait to help document his continuing journey, ascension and successes.

NEXT UP! | Baby Tate… Say’s she’s Not just Petty, but downright “Pedi”

Baby Tate’s mother is Dionne Farris, a singer and songwriter who earned a Grammy in 1992, with the group Arrested Development, for the hit “Tennessee.”

Tate Farris always felt like a career in the music industry was within her reach. She also understood the inherent paradoxes of success in entertainment. Her mother is Dionne Farris, a singer and songwriter who earned a Grammy in 1992, with the group Arrested Development, for the hit “Tennessee.” Still, Tate—Dionne’s only child—would walk by that award some mornings without any lunch money to bring to school. “There were times when we were way up, and there were times when we were way down,” she says. “Growing up, because people knew who my mom was, everyone always assumed we were rich and I was this bougie, spoiled girl.” Shortly before Tate was born, her mother signed to Columbia Records, releasing singles such as 1995’s “I Know,” which would reach the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earn her another Grammy nod. By 2008, Dionne had parted ways with the label and begun to release music independently, a move that came with much-desired creative freedom but also economic uncertainty.
