“In music, a spark is important, which will light the fire in your heart stronger than the previous one and -dani teveluwe - coped with this task at the highest level! Chic vocals, a melodic line of Neo-Soul and Funk and a light, not overshadowing the entire musical canvas of the rhythm. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

Born from the melting pot of unpursued dreams and constant procrastination, Waiting Wasting Time sings to the intent of jumping out of your comfort zone, and just going for it.
Dani Teveluwe tells us, “Waiting Wasting Time first came to me when I was walking my gorgeous Golden Huey around Miami. The chorus melody soothed my soul and I loved it from the get-go.”
“It’s funny because building the courage to make a change can sometimes take years, but in reality, the moment we decide to change is quite fleeting.”
“Around that time, I had been thinking a lot about the motivation behind change. That moment when change is no longer a choice and when it becomes a necessity. “
“What is that thing that gets us to finally book that overseas trip we’ve always wanted to go on? What makes us overcome the fear of rejection to ask someone out, or perhaps ending a relationship that isn’t right? How do you describe the desire to leave a perfectly stable job to pursue your passion?”
“The more I dwelled on it, the more I realised that I had created my own discontentment in the past by not going for it. By taking the safe option instead of the scarier path, living in my head not my heart.”
“I decided I was done with waiting and wasting time.”
And she was done. Dani started gigging solo at age 30 and released songs that spoke about how she had changed over the past few years. She told the man she was dating that she loved him. She took the scary path, but the true path more often than not, becoming braver and braver in the process.
Just prior to writing Waiting Wasting Time covid had broken out, and Dani’s baby sister, Chelsea had returned from Canada.
Chelsea had been wanting to have a crack at renovating a van, turning a humble Hiace into a trendy and tiny home.
Chels had never used a power tool before and she didn’t really know much about vans, but she didn’t let it stop her. Embracing the challenge she bought a van, drove it to her Dad’s garage and began the researching how to do everything, learning on the fly.
With the help of our Dad, YouTube, some very friendly neighbours, Chelsea finished the build and stunned everyone with her craftsmanship.
Dani told us, “When it came to planning the music video for Waiting Wasting Time, using Chels’ story was a no brainer. Her story and what she did is so inspirational, and it was nice to have the opportunity to document what she did and share it with the world.”

ISABELLE FRIES RELEASES NEW SINGLE, "WHAT CAN I DO"
"Every generation has a prolific voice that echoes in the hearts and minds of listeners. It gives them direction and a sense of purpose. Isabelle Fries is that one in a million whose principled artistry has made her paramount to shaping humans into people who care." (The Knockturnal, E. Taylor, 2022)
Los Angeles, CA, June 3, 2022 - American singer and humanitarian Isabelle Fries releases a new single to critical praise, "What Can I Do." Her powerful, emotive, and soulful vocals create a sound that highlights themes that capture the essence of what drives Isabelle in her life and her music -- her love and advocacy for others. Isabelle describes her view on the impact she hopes her music has on her listeners, "Music has a way of making people feel things they didn't know they could feel or needed to feel. It does that for me every day. Music meets you where you are emotionally and helps you find out where you need to go. It can help us all feel together in a healthy way. But it can also help us understand that what we feel is okay. Sometimes in our world, we are told not to feel or not to break down and be human, but music helps us to remember that we can. That suffering is not a process that we have to endure alone." This single is one of the most personal songs she has released. "This song is about being there for someone no matter what the situation is. Just being a steady foundation and source of hope for when someone needs it the most," said the songwriter, Seth Baer. Seth's songwriting artistry melds perfectly with Isabelle as he writes about relations of the heart and searching for meaning with a melody.
Isabelle's award-winning tracks have garnered acclaim by independently gaining six million streams on social media and music platforms. Isabelle has been traveling to Uganda since the age of 15 and became a board member of The Global Livingston Institute (GLI) at 18. In 2017, while performing in Uganda for GLI for their annual iKnow Concert Series, she announced & founded the Bulamu Raise Your Voice Community Foundation as a sister foundation to GLI. Isabelle's foundation implements academic, sports, and music curriculums in schools, developing recycling initiatives, and teaching water safety on Lake Buyonyoni. Isabelle continues to use her music as a platform to help those in need across the world. Featured on the cover of Gurus Magazine this year, Isabelle was recognized as the artist she is, "In a world where fame clouds the mind, Isabelle Fries uses her platform to be the voice of the unheard."
The single is produced by multi-Grammy-winning producer and mix engineer Rob Chiarelli whose work appears on dozens of Gold and Platinum albums and motion picture soundtracks. Rob has worked with musicians like Christina Aguilera, Ray Charles, LeAnn Rimes, Pink, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, and Madonna. The label behind this single is Upper Octave, Inc./Streetlamp Records. "What Can I Do" can be streamed on all major music platforms.
