Kina Ready To Break

DB’s talent scouting skills are impeccable! David’s ‘One To Watch’ for the first half of the year, the beautiful and talented, Kina, is ready to break onto the Diva scene with a vengence! This snippet was taken from Billboard.com:

By the time DreamWorks Records issues rising diva Kina’s sterling eponymous debut on July 18, the label and the artist will already have spent roughly six months preparing for its release. And they’ve been doing it the old-fashioned way — nonstop touring.

The singer initially started playing small clubs around the U.S. in late January to test out the album’s material. “From the first gig, it was clear that she was an amazing performer,” says Leah Reid, product manager at DreamWorks. “She truly brought the record to life. The intensity and passion she exudes onstage was remarkable.”
