Los Angeles, CA .- Venezuelan artist and creative director Andrekza [An•DRECK•sa], releases debut album Cassette featuring focus track “Mil Curitas” produced by famed producer Albert Hype (Bad Bunny, Kali Uchis, Rauw Alejandro) via Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak En Fuego. The album includes collaborations with genre-bending artists such as Gabriel Garzón-Montano and Carlos Sadness.
“Andrekza is a true creative. She’s a fusion of life experiences, and it shows in her music, style, and overall creative. She represents what we are looking for at Dim Mak En Fuego - Latin artists that can be a global force. We are excited to release her first album,” said Steve Aoki.
Andrekza’s first memory connecting with music is with a cassette player her mom gifted her when she was young, so when it came time to finally share her story she wanted others to experience a little bit of the magic she felt through her very own Cassette. “There are 15 stages of my life that shaped me to become the person I am today, I navigate through different rhythms from r&b to dembow, experiencing new sounds that I call japoneton,” explains Andrekza about the concept of her album. Cassette is an experimental album like Andrekza’s life which she considers an experiment of ebbs and flows.
The visuals for the focus track “Mil Curitas” and all the songs on the album were created, directed, and produced by a combination of Andrekza and her team at Lotus Visual Arts and Costa Rican Sebas Coto. Inspired by a mixture of cosplay and 90s vibes that encapsulate Andrekza’s essence and empower her to break free from the mindset that you need someone to make you complete. There are 15 visuals for Cassette, one for each song, with three more being released post-album release.
“‘Mil Curitas’ is the realization that we have been receiving less than we deserve and when the love is gone and you find yourself alone you finally understand that you don't need anyone to be happy because happiness is a state of mind that depends on you,” explains Andrekza about her inspiration behind the focus song.
Andrekza’s single, "Sangre Poderosa'', was featured in Anastasia Beverly Hills' campaign for Norvina's new Palette. The promotion featured Andrekza's likeness alongside Norvina (Claudia Soare) as principal talent. Andrekza recently announced a partnership with Playboy’s new online platform, CENTERFOLD, making her one of the first Latina creators of this platform which will serve as a home for the world’s top creators to interact with their fans, expand their communities and build their content and commerce businesses. Andrekza recently performed alongside Steve Aoki at his sold-out Dim Mak’s show during Miami Music Week and with Doris Anahi, Flores, and Kordelya in LA.
