Drea is a staple of the Philadelphia music scene. DJ, Musician, Recording Engineer, Producer, etc. The list goes on and on. I had a great time talking with Drea. She has a ton of entertaining stories and here own story could be used as a template to follow your dreams. She's won two Grammy's with her recording work. Here are links to some of the projects she's worked on:


The first one is the song "Dean", written and performed by Nick DiMattia. Produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Drea. This was mentioned in our conversation.

The second one is "Kisses to the Sky (feat. Skeleton Wan)". It was a short acoustic poem song Drea wrote after Nick passed, and shared it on her Instagram. A producer in Africa heard it and wanted to make it into a song with an artist in Africa, Skeleton Wan. The song was written, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Drea. Skeleton Wan wrote his verse and Samuel Gordon made the beat. Drea was on the news in Africa because of this!

The third is "Kisses to the (SLice Remix) (feat. Skeleton Wan)". Keith, (aka SLice), who Drea mentioned in the podcast that would produce artists with her made the remix. Then Drea mixed and mastered it.
