Neo-Soul Vocalist
Destani Wolf
Releases Solo Album
Again and Again
"an incredible vocalist with a supple, throaty alto whos equally at home
harmonizing or soaring solo." San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Destani displays a powerful and soulful voice. [She] has been touring
internationally, recording, and has become one of the top names in the
San Francisco Bay Area."
Latin Beat Magazine
On October 17th, 2006 vocalist/songwriter Destani Wolf independently released her debut solo effort Again and Again.
Growing up listening to her parents vinyl recordings of Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin and Al Green, Destani Wolf, a Bay Area native, discovered her singing voice early on, and was determined to share it with the world. Her vocal debut with the Zasu Pitts Memorial Orchestra at the age of 14 launched the career of a highly sought after vocalist. No stranger to big stages and famed recording sessions, Destani Wolf has turned on music producers and fans alike to her lung-emptying neo-soul.
Destani Wolfs voice is a thing of wonder: a big, bold, beautiful voice. Again and Again, her first venture as a solo artist, reveals a powerful, determined woman spreading her words of strength. Driven by her vocal valor, her uplifting lyrics glide over slabs of funk and soul, and tasty grooves punctuated with the Latin, reggae and hip-hop music she loves. A smart, multi-cultural collection of original songs, Again and Again is the result of potent and sexy songwriting and well-constructed musical arrangements.
In recent years, West Coast audiences have been graced with Destani Wolfs alluring music through her work with the 10-piece Latin/hip-hop ensemble
O-Maya (currently re-grouped as AguaLibre). In 2003, the band won an SF Weekly Best of the Bay award for best Latin alternative band. That same year, she was a featured vocalist on the John Santos Grammy nominated album SF Bay, had a highlighted vocal spot on the HBO documentary My Flesh and Blood (which won the audience award at Sundance Film Festival), and toured Europe and the U.S. while with a capella singing band SoVoSó. Destani Wolf has- and continues to- collaborate with a host of musicians including Benny Rietveld (Santana), Bobi Cespedes, The Pharcyde, Omar Sosa, The 88 and the Crown City Rockers.
Again and Again marks the soul of an artist who believes that she is but a vehicle, a compelling voice representing strong, dynamic women. Rich with radiant melodies and an adorning message, Again and Again propels this rising talent into the spotlight.
