The powerhouse vocalist, Destani Wolf forged her own path as an artist, with a genre-defying sound, impeccable vocal prowess, and authentic lyrics. From performing at the age of 15 at the iconic Great American Music Hall, to recording on over 40 albums, to now traveling the world as the lead vocalist with Cirque du Soleil’s “BAZZAR,” Destani’s journey is one of verve and vision.
Instilling her heart into every song, Destani inspires positive change and personal awakening through her music. Her latest single, “White Water Tumbling” is an extension of her belief in the power of music to encourage empathy for others’ human experience. The song’s folk-soul vibe and plaintive lyrics are punctuated by Destani’s powerful, yet vulnerable, vocals. Lyrics like “The journey’s so long it won’t get the best of me/Trying to rise from this fall I just want to be free” speak to our capacity for resilience and hope. Like much of Destani’s lyrical content, it’s a song of faith in the face of heartbreak, about finding one’s inner strength to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges and to empathize the plight of others.
At work on another collection of original songs in between touring the world with Cirque Du Soleil, Destani is embarking in new directions. Drawing on global, fresh and unconventional influences, her latest music is inspired by the ever-evolving, bold, and innovative spirit that defines the Bay Area. No matter where her journey takes her next, Destani honors her past, while looking to the future.
