In regards to the single Destani Wolf says, "I wrote 'Uprising (Do it!)' – the melody and all the lyrics in one drop! It was like it just flowed outta me. Most people live by their fears, they’re so afraid of what might happen - future of the unknown. Afraid to fail, or even of success. This song is addressing that fear; to live in that present moment, take a risk on you because ultimately, if you don’t live to your fullest potential, you’ll never know. Fearing the future when the future is not real? Only the present is real. A reminder to myself too. I wanna see people live to their full potential."
Whether opening for Alice Smith or Laura Mvula at San Francisco's The Independent, performing live with the likes of UK's Alice Russell on Jimmy Kimmel Live! or gracing the stage with shows in New York (Lincoln Center, Joe’s Pub), San Francisco Bay (Yoshi's, Bimbos, Stern Grove Festival) and Los Angeles (LACMA, Sonos Studio, UCLA Jazz Reggae Fest), Destani, who also writes songs and sings in Spanish, has recordings on two Grammy-nominated Latin Jazz LPs (John Santos' S.F. Bay and Jose Rizo's Mongorama). She also recently contributed vocals for the songs "Crossroads" and "Live Like A Warrior" by Jewish-American, reggae-emcee Matisyahu while working with producer Kool Kojak (Nicki Minaj, Flo Rida, Ke$ha), and has also lent her voice to other projects with artists such as Seu Jorge, Zap Mama, Quantic, SoVosó (Bobby McFerrin offshoot), Bay Area favorite, O-maya and The Pharcyde. Her solo debut LP Again and Again (2006) still remains an underground classic of edgy soul.
