Once again singer-songwriter, Destani Wolf offers impeccable vocal prowess as a conduit for spiritual awakening on her forthcoming ‘PEEK AWAY’ EP. Drawing on nuances of Blues explored as part of her musical foundation, this collection of six (6) brand new songs finds the Berkeley raised, LA-based songstress arriving at an evolved take on her signature soul-step.

Take one listen to her emotionally powerful and melodic vocals, through songs laden with orchestral-strings such as on “Nothing but the Best” or “Peek Away”, there’s no mistaking the SOUL in her DNA. On ‘PEEK AWAY’, soaring soundscapes underlay the interwoven retro-futurism of nu soul and 70s funk on “Why Should I Stay” and “Uprising (Do-it!)”. Even evident on this EP, Destani has an ability to touch the audience by her heartfelt delivery of REAL elements for the listener. If there were ever such a connecting force for one to pause, or possibly cause tears to outpour, it’d unmistakably be “Your Love for Me” - rich in thankful, appreciative love. Her ‘PEEK AWAY’ EP gives the listener a chance at hope, an outlet to cope and a positive window into beginning to be healed, making her 6-pack solid.

Destani Wolf - Nothing But The Best (feat. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson)

I wrote Uprising (Do it!) – the melody and all the lyrics in one drop! It was like it just flowed outta me. Most people live by their fears, they’re so afraid of what might happen - future of the unknown. Afraid to fail, or even of success. This song is addressing that fear; to live in that present moment, take a risk on you because ultimately, if you don’t live to your fullest potential, you’ll never know. Fearing the future when the future is not real? Only the present is real. A reminder to myself too. I wanna see people live to their full potential.

Uprising (Do It!):

If you want it now, it's right there waiting for you.
Go on make yourself proud, you came to do what you do.
You can live comfortably and keep things the same.
Go take a risk on you, your potential's too great yeah

I want to feel the fire
But fear is safe, keeps me from getting higher
The unknown carries all the weight but who's to say what tomorrow brings
If you want it, you got it
Cause you need it, so ride it
Life is too short, to deny it
know you deserve to live your life
Do it!

A boy is told right now "you can't no how no way"
He carries it everyday that's why he settled for that job it's safe
But when he's grey and old reviewing his life
Would he think could my dreams have taken flight? Would I have a happier life?

I want to feel the fire
But fear is safe, keeps me from getting higher
The unknown carries all the weight but who's to say what tomorrow brings
If you want it, you got it
Cause you need it, so ride it
Life is too short, to deny it
know you deserve to live your life

Forget your downward swing
This is your uprising
Let's move our energy
This is your uprising Do it!

Love Me Gently

I've decided to rerelease this track today for all the Dreamers, Believers, Motivators, Organizers, Creators, Lovers and Altruists of our world.

We Will Rise: Originally Released 2010

Creativity, where can you take me? 
beyond of those forms of reality? 
to the land of clouds will you keep me? 

I know that I can fly 
I remember my dreams 
I swirled in the air
My hands by my side 
Stress dripping off my toes back to the lands of formality

I know I can fly I know I can fly I have no doubt in my mind 
we will rise we will rise we will Rise 

I know I can fly 
I remember my dreams 
I pushed off the cliff with an eagle 
Got lost in the clouds of tunnels
The islands of tranquility 

Do you want to come too? 
We could journey to the land of the zoo 
Dreamers do what you do 
Let's help them all breakthrough

I know I can fly I know I can fly I have no doubt in my mind 
we will rise we will rise we will Rise

We Will Rise

Once again singer-songwriter, Destani Wolf offers impeccable vocal prowess as a conduit for spiritual awakening on her forthcoming ‘PEEK AWAY’ EP. Drawing on nuances of Blues explored as part of her musical foundation, this collection of six (6) brand new songs finds the Berkeley raised, LA-based songstress arriving at an evolved take on her signature soul-step. 

Take one listen to her emotionally powerful and melodic vocals, through songs laden with orchestral-strings such as on “Nothing but the Best” or “Peek Away”, there’s no mistaking the SOUL in her DNA. Her organic nu soul sound reflects her upbringing in and around the rich diversity of the Bay Area’s multi-cultural society, where her earliest encounter with music was through the influence of both her parents’ vinyl collection including Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Los Panchos, Bob Marley and others. Music brought the voice out of her as a child and continues to propel her creativity as a vocalist, a true natural born talent.

Fast-forward to today, and with two baby boys she’s brought into this world, Destani Wolf has become a strong and multi-layered woman.  Positive in spirit and with the guidance from her mentor, Blues guitarist/composer Johnny Tolbert (Sam Cooke, Etta James, T. Bone Walker, Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland) – who also taught her the Blues and helped her record her first demo, her journey continues onward towards a career-path enriched with organic, retro and nu soul. On ‘PEEK AWAY’, soaring soundscapes underlay the interwoven retro-futurism of nu soul and 70s funk on “Why Should I Stay” and “Uprising (Do-it!)”, making her 6-pack solid.

Whether opening for Alice Smith or Laura Mvula at San Francisco’s ‘The Independent’, performing live with the likes of UK’s Alice Russell on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ or gracing the stage with shows in New York (‘Lincoln Center’, ‘Joe’s Pub’), San Francisco Bay (‘Yoshi’s, ‘Bimbos’, ‘Stern Grove Festival’) and Los Angeles (‘LACMA’, ‘Sonos Studio’, ‘UCLA Jazz Reggae Fest’), Destani -- who also writes songs and sings in Spanish, has recordings on two Grammy-nominated Latin Jazz LPs (John Santos ‘S.F. BAY’ and Jose Rizo’s ‘MONGORAMA’). She recently contributed vocals for the songs “Crossroads” and “Live like a Warrior” by Jewish-American, reggae-emcee Matisyahu while working with producer Kool Kojak (Nicki Minaj, Flo Rida, Ke$ha), and has also lent her voice to other projects with Artists such as Seu Jorge, Zap Mama, Quantic, SoVosó (Bobby McFerrin offshoot), Bay Area favorite, O-maya and The Pharcyde. Her solo debut LP ‘AGAIN and AGAIN’ (‘06) still remains an underground classic of edgy soul.

Destani was and still is ALWAYS ready to sing – anywhere or anytime. Free styling with ease, she’ll move any crowd, or even is known to surprise audiences by throwing in her ‘invisible band’ of trumpeters and drummers via her skillfully crafted, improvisational human a cappella beats! More evident on this EP though, Destani (LIVE) has an ability to touch the audience by her heartfelt delivery of REAL elements for the listener. On ‘PEEK AWAY’, if there were ever such a connecting force for one to pause, or possibly cause tears to outpour, it’d unmistakably be “Your Love for Me” - rich in thankful, appreciative love. 

Vocally blessed, Destani’s discovered her vocal ability as more of a functional role, whether it’s fueling more honesty for family and close peers at events, or for society and her community in order to raise awareness on life’s layers, love matters and those inspirational truths. “I feel blessed that music travels through me, and I feel like it’s something I want to share, and I need to share,” Destani affirms. “My voice is a powerful way to unite people and that’s the thing about music, it heals and it funnels energy. I carry my voice everywhere I go, that’s a gift.” 

There’s an inherent religiosity in the interplay between life + love. When Destani reflects on each song’s meaning (below) you’ll realize that there’s an unending cycle of life + love that’s sometimes beyond our emotional withstanding.  Even if we’re reluctant to accept, life + love does reveal our innermost feelings. That’s why her ‘PEEK AWAY’ EP gives the listener a chance at hope, an outlet to cope and a positive window into beginning to be healed.
