Premiere: DioMara ‘Alchemy’ EP
Back Story – DioMara, born Diomara Xionida Delvalle, is a Panamanian-American Singer/Songwriter from Brooklyn, NY. She lived amongst her fellow Caribbean and Latinx peers on Flatbush Avenue, so the culture, along with the American musical culture of Soul and R&B led to the diversity of DioMara’s musical palette. Early 2018 DioMara released “ I Just Want U”, where she lays her vulnerability on wax as she revisits old wounds produced by Brooklyn duo BLVK MVGK. She then goes on to release “Ms. Beautiful”, a fun, summer anthem, where she encourages all her fellow queens to “shoot your shot”. Empowering, virtuous, provocative and stirring the emotions of the individual are all descriptive of this powerhouses disposition.
Revolt TV says – “The Brooklyn-bred singer has captivated audiences with her soul-bearing harmonies and equally striking stage presence”.
Alchemy, the process of turning base metals into gold, a magical process of transformation, is a title fitting for DioMara’s journey, not only as an artist, but as a Millennial who has taken her career by the horns in an oversaturated but highly resourceful climate. DioMara has gotten the opportunity to share her art on stages presented by Audiomack, NBC Universal, AfroPunk, Sofar Sounds, Apple, Verizon, SXSW, Sway in the Morning, Afro-Latino Festival, IMG Records, Airbnb and so much more! As a WNDR WMN, she’s been able to merge the worlds of artistry/performance, business and philanthropy all in the name of divine femininity. DioMara is a Woman’s Woman and is here to tell the stories of many.
Alchemy Project
DioMara discusses the project saying, “Alchemy is an 8 track EP that reflects my journey and some of the more important parts of who I am and what I value. It’s the part of a collection of music I’ve created while on this journey and represents about 7 years of self work, exploration as an artist, failures, triumphs, old relationships, new relationships, old consciousness, new consciousness and how I’ve evolved as a human being. I worked with so many talented artists to bring Alchemy to life some of which include, Jymmi Helix, a producer duo by the name of BLVK MVGK, Marcus Miller, Michael Ashby, Hazali and many others. Alchemy will always be relevant to me because I will continue to alchemize my life, turn lemons into lemonade and completely tap into the God within me to achieve my wildest dreams. I’m the magic and the process is never ending.”
Alchemy for me solidifies DioMara as one of our future greats…her soul bursts through on every track and one of her strengths is the ability to grab you and take you on the journey with her, painting vivid pictures along the way of where she’s coming from and where she’s going!
