Moving forward with Love, Rhythm and Celebration!
San Francisco based artist Nader DeAik picked up a Hollywood Music In Media Awards (HMMA) nomination in the Electronic Dance Music Category for the song "Pa'lante (Moombahton)". The HMMA honors music from visual mediums, talented individuals who create and produce it, and both mainstream and independent artists from around the globe. “I’m pleased and humbled to be nominated by the HMMA. It’s great to have an organization that provides the opportunity for worldwide independent artists to be heard and recognized.” The song features the San Franciscan/Puerto Rican singer Cris Matos. Remixed by Mike Forst and Co-produced by Nader DeAik. "It's been a pleasure co-producing Pa'lante (Moombahton) alongside the notable Audio and Sound Design Engineer/Producer Mike Forst who did an exceptional work remixing it!" says DeAik. Mike Forst is currently a Production Manager/Sound Designer at Pyramind Studios, San Francisco, CA. The song's creation was supported by musicians who have been associated with the Gorillas and Jeff Bridges, to name a few.
Pa'lante (Moombahton) is a unique Global Electro Dance song fused with Middle Eastern and Latin musical elements. It will have the listeners dancing to its high energy electronic sounds, moombahton beats and grooving along its catchy melodies and lyrics. The track is a second outlook derived from the single release “Pa'lante”, a song about moving forward with Love, Rhythm and Celebration! “With sincere gratitude, I share the nomination with the remarkable team of highly talented singers, musicians and engineers who believed in and worked on Pa’lante!” Written and composed by Nader DeAik, the track reveals the stunning array of influences that have found their way into DeAik’s music. While his grounding came in Middle Eastern world fusion pop music – he began to get himself known after his international Top 10 hit song "Ragae" and playing in venues throughout San Francisco and Bay Area– he was always keen to bring something unique to a traditional sound. For this reason, his emphasis on celebrating world music cultures as DeAik calls it “Celebrating World Frequencies” has been enhanced by his ability to uniquely fuse instruments and sounds from various musical genres forming into an exquisite Global EDM song that is a must hear!
DeAik’s music career has certainly been full of experiences and rewards. In 2008, he released his critically acclaimed nine track debut album titled “Sahran”. It includes the top 10 hit song “Rajae” with its music video that was broadcasted worldwide as well as the energetic hybrid hit song “Orqus, Baila” with its fresh upbeat music video that was shot in Barcelona, Spain. His worldwide popularity increased with his 2010 soccer-themed single release “Strike!” written for the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa. Not long ago, he was invited to sing live alongside Rachid Taha at Stern Grove Festival, an unforgettable experience. In 2015 he picked up a Hollywood Music In Media Awards (HMMA) nomination for the EDM single release "Pa'lante (Moombahton)" , just goes to show how far he has already made a name for himself. As well as that, he has appeared on reputable television and radio channel interviews worldwide and his appeal just continues to grow.
Nader DeAik has completed and preparing for an imminent release of his long awaited, highly anticipated second album that will thrill his army of fans! It will feature duets with world renowned International and Bay Area singers. Release date to be announced.
The HMMA nominees will be recognized and honored at the award show held at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood on November 19th, 2015.
Pa’lante (Moombahton) is currently available on Google play, Itunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc..
