SHAKE

SHAKE truly encompasses me in one song. Music and dance have always been a big part of who I am. My first music class at age 4 was called music for the minis and it was a rhythm & beats class. I grew up as a classically trained musician and vocalist. 

For this song I recorded very intentional samples and even used my voice to create a unique sound and infuse it with my energy.

So what is SHAKE about?

Well, once upon a time I was part of a professional Tahitian dance troupe and it wasnt until I was in rehearsals that I realized how disconnected from myself and my body I was. 

Mama Kamai (the troupe mother) would go around the room and say to us, get your shake. I spent hours and hours practicing outside of rehearsals until I got my shake! Ill always remember that moment because I instantly felt liberated and at home in my body.

As a DJ and producer, Ive dreamed of making a song that honors this pivotal time in my life. Shake lays the foundation for my album and Im thrilled to share it as my Sound genesis.

I hope it makes you move and maybe youll get your shake too. When in doubt, dance it out. Its good for the soul.
