CHIKA DI
Talented Actress and Singer Colombian-born, California-based artist Chika Di has released her second single, “Hook It Up.” A unique blend of Latin Pop and EDM that teleports you into a hot, sweaty night on a Colombian dance floor. The energetic beat was produced by the emerging DJ and producer, Michael Costanzo AKA Good Bear Music. The new release is mixed by Max Perry (Migos, Post Malone) and mastered by veteran engineer, John Greenham (Billie Eilish, Katy Perry). Chika’s captivating vocal melodies are accompanied by ukulele, infectious kazoo synth melodies, live bass guitar and rhythmic 808 club drums to immediately transport you to the lively dance floor of South America with a twist of California. Hook it Up’s fresh sound and infectious energy will have listeners dancing and singing along before the first listen line is done. I first got into music when I was 12. I got into a music program and I found myself the moment I started the program. My father also died when I was 12 and I suffered from depression right after that tragic event. I was born in Colombia and lived at the time at the worse era of violence. Part of my recovery was being in the music program so I always think that music save my life. I will say my dad inspired me to do music. I remember listening to a lot of different music growing up. At every family event we used to listen: Afro Colombian music salsa, hip hop and disco all in one party
