Care to introduce yourself?
Hey there! I’m Bryan Bravo, an artist with a cool mix of Ecuadorian and Canadian roots. It’s been an amazing journey blending my Latin heritage with my music.
Tell us about the process of writing and recording “Cha Cha.”
We actually came up with the idea for the song around a pool scene, so it’s all about embracing the fun and excitement of a summer night with your friends. That concept only evolved through the writing and recording process. From the tabla player (Tamim Afzali) to the high-energy ad libs in the background (Aaron Malcom), these were elements that brought the song to life. With the help of the producer D-Menace Music and the lyrics and vocals from Mariah McKnight, Cha Cha was born.
