New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ 13 HANDS Official Website) - Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter from New Jersey, 13 HANDS, latest EP 'You Are What You Leave Behind' combines his ambient, alternative folk sound with world / meditative, stress reducing compositions. The title, You Are What You Leave Behind, encourages listeners to step back and realize how important they are to one another, to the world and to inspire them to create a life that functions in integrity. The lead off track, 'Big Lie' is the perfect anthem for the current climate on Wall Street and the recent Bernie Madoff scandal. 'Waiting For The Day' is a song of hope....'for a new tomorrow' backed by a highly contagious, African, tribal drum beat. For the yoga or meditation enthusiast; along with anyone needing some help reducing stress caused by the current economic climate, there is 'Ganesha' and 'Flotation Device'.
The CD is currently being promoted to radio this fall along with coordinating various booking opportunities and outreach. 13 HANDS once worked with acclaimed publicist Tanya Vece prior to her illness, for national pitches. Although 13 HANDS is no longer under her promotional umbrella, the projects related to 13 HANDS continue to be supported by her.
With Whole Foods and other sponsors in the fields of organic, conscious living, Eco-Green awareness, yoga and Fair Trade, 13 HANDS has aligned himself with supporters who embrace the message, the music and his health, yoga and social work endeavors.
Additionally, the music of 13 HANDS, who also goes by DALIEN, is a vehicle that contributes to a better world and the on-going development of his health programs and recordings.
Motivated by his own severe, childhood health adversity and losing his father in a plane crash when he was 15, 'You Are What You Leave Behind' is more than just an album.
