Official Press Release:
Los Angeles, CA (January 18, 2019) – Drea has released her first single of the year, and her first bilingual single, with dark-pop banger ‘La Paz.’ Another powerful collaboration with Los Angeles DJ Kayja, this gritty track showcases a moving vocal performance by Drea, from each verse to the impactful Spanish chorus. ‘La Paz’ is now available across all digital platforms as of Friday, January 18th, 2019.
Drea on ‘La Paz’: “’La Paz’ grapples with post-traumatic stress and the despair that lingers in the aftermath of trauma. Pain and despair are part of the human experience, and I believe we all deal with these feelings to some extent at various points of our lives. Although there is a definite feeling of desperation throughout the song, it is important to recognize that ‘La Paz’ is not without hope. ‘La Paz’ reminds us that it is often in these moments of despair, cowering on the shower floor, that we encounter the depth of our strength.”
In January 2018, Drea launched Reclaim Movement, an open-level dance class in Los Angeles empowering women to reclaim ownership of their bodies after the trauma of sexual assault. In May 2018, Drea organized and hosted the first For Her Concert Series, a live music event in Los Angeles featuring performances by female musicians, organized and staffed by an all-female team, and benefitting women in need.
Drea serves on the board of directors of The Ladybugs Movement, a non-profit campaign working to bring feminine hygiene products to homeless women in LA, and Project MuszEd, an LA-based non-profit organization working to provide opportunities in music education for youth in need.
The accompanying music video for ‘La Paz’ is set to be released in February 2019.
