About Leven Kali
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music
Leven Kali (pronounced: Lay-Vin Kah-Li), the Dutch-born, L.A.-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist is as reverent as he is boundary-pushing. His dynamic early mixtapes — Low Tide (2019) and HIGHTIDE (2020), with collabs from Syd, Smino, Topaz Jones, and Ty Dolla $ign — put the actual soul back into modern soul music, and he’s shared his gift with others, writing and producing for the likes of Drake, Teddy Swims, and Playboy Carti. GRAMMY-nominated for his work on Beyoncé’s Renaissance, his new solo material may be his most ambitious. Take “Are U Still,” a fluid mix of spiritual jazz, intimate R&B, breezy soul, and playful groove that feels virtuosic, yes, but also loose and live as the instruments pull you through genres, eras, and scenes — all in 4 minutes. “This is what I’ve been trying to do,” says Leven. “I’m getting closer to what I’ve been hearing in my head.” To listen is to know he’s spent his young life steeped in sound. Co-signs from Quincy Jones and George Clinton complete the Venn diagram of inspiration that best defines Leven’s approach: compositional genius plus experimental fervor. Leaning into sounds that “feel adventurous,” as he puts it, Leven taps into the past while building the future.

Daiela is an artist, Singer/Drummer, Songwriter, Producer and Multi-instrumentalist born and raised in Los Angeles. She grew up immersed in a very musical family, with her brother, artist and producer Leven Kali. Daiela began developing her sound both through her solo work and her work as a vocalist and drummer in LA-based band HALFnHALF. She’s found new ways to spin together the genres that have been foundational to her experience as a musician– R&B, funk, neo-soul– with newer sounds like pop and hyperpop to create a sound that’s all her own. She is also a creative director and visual artist, working to create a sonic and visual world that is expressive, emotional, versatile, and colorful. Daiela’s musical practice is rooted in her desire to feel and experience emotions and build connections through her sound.
“To me, feelings are such a beautiful and powerful thing that we all share. I hope that my music can be a safe space for everyone to experience all of what they feel and not feel alone in doing it🤍” - Daiela
