DANA LEONG launches Life After Dark!

  "2008 marks the maiden voyage of a project which 'till now, has really been just a dream for me. I am launching a brand new media series based from my Harlem recording studio called Life After Dark, which features collaborations between up and coming artists deserving wider recognition. You should expect the unexpected as this projects goal is also to create connections and works between artists crossing cultural and stylistic genre boundaries. What would happen if you could pick your favorite artists and throw them into a flavorful pot of unexpected sights and sounds? Take roots from Jazz, mix them with symphonic rock, or take a new twist of dancehall and mix it with the sounds of New York Funk boosted with spice from the 'Dirty South.' Or how about finally some True World Music from South America fused with sacred sounds of the Far East? Stay tuned as video podcasts, music clips, interviews, action photos, and a whole lot more interesting combinations emerge!" -DL
 

DANA LEONG'S ANTHEMS OF LIFE
 

Dana Leong's new album ANTHEMS OF LIFE is out now and so are the reviews.
"The songs find their origins in hip-hop, but this is no surprise. It is actually comforting that an artist of this generation has instilled his poetry with universal vision; a vision that permeates the state of art, music, race and the world to life them up and bring them to an attention that is broad, and not simply for a select few."-All About Jazz

"Dana Leong and his band have truly
recaptured hope in me."-Evolution of Media
