DESTINEAK can be summed up in one word: ENERGY. This duo packs a punch of unadulterated live sound and visual stimulation that rocks any crowd. The sounds are pop, electro and progressive house featuring virtuosic live vocals and drums. Vocals are performed by the enigmatic and exotic Christina Sing, an accomplished songwriter and a true diva with a 4 octave range. Bobby James manoeuvres his way around a hybrid acoustic/electronic drum kit, percussion, and Ableton DJ rig with the revel of a child and the energy of Tarzan in the jungle. A veteran drummer who has toured with the likes of Kid Rock, Metallica and Scorpions, this man is a master of rhythm. Self proclaimed multimedia lushes, Bobby and Christina also direct, produce and edit their music videos, of which there are 8 so far. Constantly writing and producing, DESTINEAK have collaborated with acclaimed artists: Paul Van Dyk, Stonebridge, DJ Antoine, Ian Carey, Lazy Rich, Jenson Vaughan, Antillas, Sunloverz, Erick Decks, and more. DESTINEAK’s new single ‘Silenced’ (Armada/Sony Canada) is out now, and features one of EDM’s most sought after remixers, DJ Antillas(Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, BT). In 2013 DESTINEAK’s songs and Christina’s voice caught the attention some heavy weight DJ’s. They are currently featured on platinum selling DJ Antoine’s album Sky is the Limit (Housewerks/Kontor) on the track ‘Paralyzed’. Grammy Award-winning Paul van Dyk will be featuring DESTINEAK on his new album in 2014 in an anthem called ‘Into The Fire’ to be released on Sony Europe. DESTINEAK's first single 'Just The Music' earned them Virgin Radio's Best of BC Artists in August 2010. Their second single'Calling Your Name' was remixed by multi-platinum selling DJ Ian Carey, gaining them heavy rotation on radio stations across Canada (peaking at #32 on Canadian Top 40), and won them CHUM Radio Emerging Artists. 'Calling Your Name' peaked at #6 on the Itunes Electronic Charts, and landed DESTINEAK a licensing deal with Sony Music Canada who distributed the single throughout Canada and the US. Their next single 'Shine' was released in June of 2011. The single is co-produced by Brian Howes (Nickelback, Hedley). 'Shine' was remixed by Stonebridge and Sunloverz and a video was shot for it in Cabo San Lucas, which was partly sponsored by the Mexican Tourism Board. From conception, DESTINEAK has been a LIVE VOCAL VISUAL DRUM SHOW. They are two time winners of Best Live Performance Group at The Vancouver Clubvibes Awards. They have performed on some of Canada’s biggest stages, and have also entertained crowds in Germany, the US, and Mexico. When not in the studio, Bobby and Christina are constantly playing live, their music fuelled by exchanging energy with the audience.
