SMASH NEW SINGLE! – “SKIN OUT” by DAISHA

“SKIN OUT” is the 2nd single from DAISHA’s anticipated EP, “I AM THE DAISHA”, available for free download on May 20th.

The in-your-face party record was written and produced by Swagg R’Celious and co-written by Shalimar Davis. “The Witch Doctor” beat always does something to my spirit and makes me want to full-out dance and swing my hair,” chuckles Daisha. “My creative director, Shalimar Davis and I wanted to recreate that 80’s workout vibe where it was all about self-expression, passion, creativity energy and lots of color..it was about letting that “skin out”. I was lucky enough to have legendary voguers, Pony Zion and Prince to be part of this moment,” she adds.

ABOUT DAISHA
Daisha started with a back-up dance career that’s spanned some of the largest urban hip-hop, pop, and R&B acts in recent memory– Rihanna, Diddy, Ryan Leslie, Letoya Lucket, Santigold, Janelle Monae, Jill Scott and Beyonce’ to name a few.

However, after reaching the top of the working commercial dance world, her passion and vision to express herself as a performing artist hadn’t quite satisfied her own self-fulfillment. “Even before being on the road for so long, I envisioned an original live experience more theatrical and expressive than dance alone could reveal about me,” says Daisha, spoken with a warm smile and a truly endearing attitude. Her artistic presence is noticeable, and likable. “I began to have intense dreams about a body of material that reflected me. It included my own electric sound, vibe, and style. I knew if I really went for it, I’d risk all the hard work I’d built so far, including my reputation as a professional dancer.” Daisha continued, “I really hope I can shed light to those who also dream about creating anyway that frees the spirit.”

Less you think this is the story of just another professional dancer wanting to be a pop-star, Daisha was trained as a classical pianist since the age of 5 and also participated in choirs throughout high school and college. “Music had always been an important part of my life, but dance became the perfect medium for exposing me to the professional music industry.”

Daisha’s versatile nature and willingness to never limit her endeavors continues to land her a multitude of endless opportunities. She has landed roles on feature films such as, Step Up 2, Step up 3D, When in Rome and most recently VH1’s original movie The Breaks. She is also the co-founder of Daisha and Alicia Graf Arts Collective (aka D(n)A Arts), an initiative she and her sister Alicia Graf Mack created; committed to enriching lives through the arts.
