CHIKA DI

Talented Actor 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.

My first performance ever was with one of the songs that I wrote back when I was 12 years old. I never thought I would have such a successful journey as a songwriter. Now I have songs on TV SHOW, “GENTRIFIED” on Netflix and on “Vida” on Starz Season 2. Songs that either I wrote or co-wrote with La Misa Negra, my previous Band.

I feel blessed that people all over the USA and people in Latin America and Mexico like my new music. 2020 has been a year of creation and I feel fulfilled and empowered to make more music having the support of so many people.

I have shared the stage with a lot of talented artists including, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Monlaferte, Stevie Wonder, Santa Cecilia, Flor de Toloache, are my favourite, so far.

Joy and Passion, more than anything drive me to stay in this tough business.

The mix of my authentic Colombian vocal with EDM and pop are what makes me special and unique as an artist in the industry.

My biggest challenge has been performing while I’m sick. I remember getting sick on a tour, having a 102 temperature and sore throat. I really thought that I was going to faint on stage.

More than suffer, I personally think that Sacrifice is the key to success.

We are living on the era of Opportunities. As an Independent Artist, the internet has been the best tool that I can ever have. It makes it easier to reach new audiences and it helps you to promote your music at a low cost. The internet opens up many doors for artists!!! There are no limits if you really push your music out!!!
