NXTSTYLE’s 2020 New Music Guide: TAELA

I came into my write (producer Dan Muckala and co-writer Bre Kennedy) with the desire to write about doing whatever you can to get your mind off of someone/something. I recently went through a bad break-up and found myself partying all the time with strangers to forget what I was going through, but feeling extremely uncomfortable and sad at the same while doing so. It was really exciting to take all of those feelings and turn them into a party anthem.

I grew up with crippling mental illnesses and bullies and stayed locked up in my home. I was homeschooled because of this and music was my escape. I would get my homework done first thing in the morning and write music for the rest of the day, every day. It’s literally the reason I’m here. I’m so connected to everything that makes music music. It’s my passion and purpose to reach people deeply through the art of it and to be the cause of a huge fucking revolution. It’s going to happen.
