In 2019, as a producer, writer, performer and creative director, Daniela Andrade’s voice is coming full circle, back to the DIY spirit that sparked her initial creations as an early pioneer on YouTube. Securing support at the likes of NPR, Billboard, Complex, The FADER and COLORS, Daniela released the new bilingual and genre-bending project Tamale that blends glimmers of jazz-indebted soul and R&B as it pays homage to her Honduran roots.
“I’d like to thank FACTOR for helping my recently released project Tamale come to life. The funding allowed me to dedicate time to learn to produce, collaborate with talented artists in Toronto and give it the support it deserved. I’m grateful to have been able to share a part of my story as a child to immigrants, one that I feel is necessary to shed light on as a Canadian, where there are many who grew up similarly.”
