    Featuring the brand-new release “Tuve,” the EP is a four-track body of work that sits alongside other releases “TÉ,” “Ya Fue,” and “Nerviosa.”  Seductive and enticing, “Tuve” features critically acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Gabriel Garzón-Montano with a catchy beat and a message of never holding back when it comes to love. “Tuve” was produced by LUYO and composed alongside Venezuelan artist and songwriter Natural Nell.

    “Sharing my emotions and my art was always something a bit complicated for me, but when I saw Gabriel’s work, I fell in love with his subtle way of expressing himself through his delivery, the very special way he sees music and art. We met while filming the music video for his song ‘Muñeca,’ which I directed. I then went to NYC and Gabriel recorded the song in a hotel in Brooklyn. We express ourselves with no limits and that’s very important to me,”

    “After sharing songs and demos via FaceTime she suddenly played ‘Tuve’ and the song seemed crazy to me! That melody. That modern magic that Andrekza wields marked me right away. I said ‘duuuuude this flow is heavyyyy’ so I recorded it.”

    “Mambo was definitely a fun one to make, as always Latin is the most colorful playground for me to play in! Linking up with Willy William, Sean Paul, El Alfa, Play-N-Skillz, and Sfera Ebbasta really gave the song a global feel. At a time when so much is happening, a vibrant song like this is perfect for the fans to show we are all in it together.”

    Sampling legendary jazz musician, singer, and actor Cab Calloway, “MAMBO” is a boundary-pushing single that encapsulates the cultures of the American coast, the tropical islands of the Caribbean, and the eclectic European and African continents.
