Off the Record Artist DAZE Drops Pop Rap and Trap Soul Track ‘Diwata’ feat. Zendee

Listening Station

MANILA, Philippines — The vibe is up and thriving with DAZE, also known as Dale Paras. Born and raised in Angeles City, Pampanga, DAZE’s music is a colorful reflection of his identity, community, and beliefs. Having been surrounded by music all his life, by age 15 he started to write his own as a form of therapy, creating an immersive sound and cinematic style of storytelling that listeners can easily get lost (or find themselves) in. DAZE’s goal is to channel his boundless energy and creativity towards creating music that everyone can resonate with and vibe to.

Ushering in the new generation of harana is DAZE’s new single Diwata, a Pop Rap and Trap Soul track that plays out sweeter than your favorite drama. With catchy trumpets set against a laid back beat, DAZE’s lyricism and flow takes center stage, leaving plenty for listeners to unravel on repeat listens, making it the perfect song to vibe to (significant other optional).

The track features Zendee, local artist and one of the biggest stars on TikTok today with 10.3M followers and nominated for Top Talent Award in TikTok Awards 2021. Zendee’s international reputation includes being invited to The Ellen DeGeneres show and opening for Jason Mraz in one of his concerts.

The collaboration between DAZE (a new rapper entering the industry) and Zendee (a rising star both locally and internationally) sets a high note for ‘Diwata’ and in the rapper’s career.
