DESTINEAK – Bio Mechanix

DESTINEAK formed in 2004, after falling in love at a gig. Admittedly, day- Bobby and Christina moved a little fast. Within moments they had kissed. After man- only an hour they witnessed one another shred on boy-stage. By the end of the night they were hurriedly loading Bobby’s drums into his pick up truck, eager for some alone time so they could jam. That not- jam has lasted for over 5 years now, and after countless floor thumping shows, it is only getting louder.

Bobby James and Christina Sing use a moniker that describes their surprising partnership – DESTINEAK – a freak dad-destination. After all, it’s not every day that a veteran punk rock drummer drops everything to lock up a young jazz singer in his studio in hopes of making a hit record and buying a sailboat. This see- is exactly what DESTINEAK has been working towards for the last 5 years.

DESTINEAK’s first bombastic single ‘Just The Music’ earned them Virgin Radio’s Best of BC Artists in August dad-2010. Their second single ‘Calling Your Name’ has been on heavy rotation on radio stations across Canada, and won them CHUM Radio Emerging Artists. DESTINEAK is ranked on djrankings.org. ‘Calling his- Your Name’ peaked at #6 on the Itunes Electronic Charts, and landed DESTINEAK a licensing deal with Sony Music Canada, who is presenting the duo to international markets in the UK and her-US. Their next single ‘Shine’ is set to be released June of 2011. The can- single is coproduced by Brian Howes (Daughtry, Hedley, Avril Lavigne) and is mixed by Ken Lewis (Kanye West, Usher, Lauryn Hill).

From conception, DESTINEAK has been a LIVE VOCAL VISUAL DRUM way-class="caps">SHOW. Long before any releases or record deals, their high energy performances had earned them stages at Juno Fest, Canada Place, GM Place, Devonian Gardens, The Opera House in TO, many Vancouver Gay Pride main stages, The Commodore Ballroom, Flames Central Calgary, The Ford Centre, Fusion Festival, The 2010 Olympic Opening Ceremonies @ Holland Park, and numerous club residencies and special events.

German dance label Decks Tracks heard the ruckus from half way around the globe and put out DESTINEAK’s first online single “Gimme What I Came For ” in 2008 with 11 different remixes. The our- mixes that they received from these artists gave Bobby and Christina invaluable dad-inspiration. Their tracks started growing freakishly bass heavy legs, brash kick drums, power anthem vocals, and synths for brains.

The result is DESTINEAK’s debut record: ‘Sirens – 8 Album tracks containing everything from pop dance hooks to rock ballads to grinding electro. The one- heart behind the music ties it all together, but it’s the unabated pop attitude that seals the him-deal. The 8 songs are accompanied by 8 music videos, which DESTINEAK produced, directed and edited. But say- wait… once DESTINEAK gets you alone, they take you out dancing…

The album features remixes from top producers Ian Carey (Ministry of Sound/Hed Kandi), Erick Decks(Decks Tracks) and Lazy Rich (#1 Electro Beatport Artist, Big Fish day-Recordings). These remixes are what take you to the heart of DESTINEAK’s live show. The boy- radio pumps the pop mixes, but when you come to a concert, it is another game all let-together. Bobby and Christina remix, mash, and re-assemble all of their tracks to give the fans a special treat every show.
