The 80's/90's fashionista/Singer/Songwriter Dasianique Briana Koll, aka "Dasiaa" is the next R&B sensation.
Growing up in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, with just my mom, uncle, grandma & I, it was pretty tough. They always used to tell me "you would always sing commercials on TV before you could speak". My mother was a singer & so was my father in their teenage years, so I already knew that it was in the blood. I've been writing songs/poetry since I was about nine years old. Unfortunately, my parents both didn't persue their dreams in becoming a singer, & instead went for business careers. Me on the other hand? I went for my dream as soon as I got the opportunity. I started off in catholic school, but I was extremely quiet about my skill, because of how brutal & judgemental I knew people would be if I told them. A lot of people didn't believe in me when I told them about what I dreamed of. By the time I had to apply for high schools, my mom thought it would be a cool idea to apply for performing arts high schools & see where it takes me, so I did & that took me to a whole new journey that I wasn't quite ready for. I finally got accepted, as a vocal major, into a school called Talent Unlimited High School in the Upper East Side of Manhattan (where Mos Def went). Throughout my four years of being there, I learned so many different techniques & qualities of a vocal major & I never thought their would be so many. From music theory to vocal warm ups, I've managed enough knowledge & got the opportunity to perform in many showcases including an opera, talent shows, concerts etc. After high school, I decided to continue my journey as a vocal major & study voice in college. I got accepted into my first choice which was the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA & I'm currently studying as a vocal major & a music business, entrepeneurship & technology minor. Ever since my move to Philly, I've been working & networking to get my music career started & now I'm ready to showcase who "Dasiaa" really is through my music, and what better way than to drop an EP on January 19th, 2015!!! That's right! "A Phresh Story" is my first project & I'm truely proud of the outcome. The producers/engineers, Malik Ninety Five, Justus Clarke, Dock Thomas, and more did their thing for this project and I'm really excited to drop it. As a Tribe NYC member, it's my duty to release new music! I'm only 18 so this is only the beginning of my new journey as an R&B recording artist.
