Kota Wade Delivers Stripped Down Version of “Out of the Dark”

Leave a comment


"Out of the Dark" is now available for streaming or download

Kota Wade – Out of the Dark

An emotional, uplifting journey.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Kota Wade releases a stunning & reimagined rendition of “Out of the Dark,” title track from her 2018 EP. Taking an acoustic approach, the track features intimate vocals and poignant layered guitar lines. The song’s intimate tone and compelling message takes listeners on an emotional, uplifting journey. The single comes out on October 10, World Mental Health Day, an important day that aims to raise awareness around mental health issues and mobilizing support efforts. “Out of the Dark” is now available to stream and download on digital music platforms worldwide and a video is available for viewing on YouTube.

As an artist who has personal experience with mental health struggles, Kota Wade wants to use her platform to share her journey and connect with other people who have experienced similar obstacles. She wrote “Out of the Dark” as the final chapter of her mental health story, with aspiration to deliver an elevating message that even the tiniest bit of hope can pull someone out of their darkest state. “As I’ve struggled with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, writing has been an outlet to share my struggles, as well as open the discussion to help bring light to a difficult subject, hoping to help others, or inspire them to seek help. Bringing this stripped down version to life has been extremely personal for me,” she explains. The song was written, performed, and produced by Kota and her longtime music collaborator, Tommy Oleksyn in their home studio. The pair worked hard to develop “a raw, emotional piece that breathes new life into the song.”

Kota wants people to realize there is a way ‘out of the dark’ by getting help through therapy; either online or in-person and hopes to make Out of the Dark a campaign/movement for young people.

Based in Los Angeles, Kota Wade is a singer/songwriter that creates alternative-pop focused music with touches of fantasy, magic, and exploration. She has released music as part of the duo, Bad Wolf who has performed with Echosmith and We Came As Romans. Personally, Kota Wade draws on different influences ranging from sci-fi movies to fairytales to nerd culture fandoms. She brings art to life through her diverse musical background and life experience related to her struggles with mental illness. She is extremely passionate about raising attention to mental health issues worldwide and acts as an ambassador for NAMI (National Alliance of Mental Illness).

Stream or download “Out of the Dark” across digital music platforms worldwide and be sure to watch the music video on Kota’s YouTube channel. To stay up to date on Kota Wade’s next journey, you can follow her @KotaWade on all social media platforms or visit KotaWade.com.

Society: Christianity

David Johnson’s newly released “One Guy and a Briefcase” is an impelling book that gives an idea to the reader on how to achieve freedom in Christ.

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“One Guy and a Briefcase”: a stirring tome that explains who Jesus is and helps one to realize that to be free in Christ is priceless. “One Guy and a Briefcase” is the creation of published author David Johnson, a writer who lets loose on all the years of pent-up frustration with egregious and blatant lies, and reluctance and ignorance of the leaders, to discuss the pillars of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, without the predictable consequence of being cast out after his seventy years of being annoyed with organized religion. He also worked for ten years as a dentist in Bangladesh.

Johnson writes, “This book is for Seventh-day Adventist millennials and all believers, especially those old farts who were born and brought up in the church like me. These are Adventist kids and grown-ups that say ‘Wait. What? That makes no sense. Who is this Jesus they are presenting? He demands that I know the law, the Sabbath, the sanctuary in heaven, the scary investigative judgment, the mark of the beast, the three angels’ messages, about being stranded without an advocate, the fact that Jesus was executed in my place, and the fact that I should revere and obey the Adventist pope—or else.’ Don’t fret.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, David Johnson’s new book is a wholesome craft that prompts everyone that God has given to every individual all the information necessary to understand exactly what God wants to human.

With this purpose, Johnson tries to motivate everyone to free themselves from the shackles of organized religions and try to examine how fun it is to be free in Christ.

View a synopsis of “One Guy and a Briefcase” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase“One Guy and a Briefcase” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

For additional information or inquiries about “One Guy and a Briefcase,” contact the Christian Faith Publishing media department at 866-554-0919.

MyVR partners with Assurant to offer innovative insurance solution to short-term rentals

Damage Protection by Assurant

Damage Protection by Assurant

“Each marketing channel has their own version of protection and it was very difficult to scale across a portfolio and inconsistent across channels. We wanted our clients to be able to offer their guests and homeowners peace of mind regardless of where the booking occurred.” – Mike Stachowiak


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

MyVR is excited to announce a new partnership with Assurant to launch a unique, fully integrated damage protection solution, “MyVR’s Damage Protection by Assurant” designed specifically for short-term property managers and offered exclusively on the MyVR platform.

“Damage protection has evolved greatly over the last decade and we studied the various models in the marketplace and solicited extensive feedback from clients before we finalized this offering and chose Assurant as our partner,” says Mike Stachowiak, Co-founder and CTO of MyVR. “Each marketing channel has their own version of protection and it was very difficult to scale across a portfolio and inconsistent across channels. We wanted our clients to be able to offer their guests and homeowners peace of mind regardless of where the booking occurred.”

Damage protection began in the mid-2000’s amidst the height of consumer credit card fraud concern and increased charge-back risk if property managers retained a security deposit. The delicate balance of maintaining a superior guest experience while protecting the assets of the homeowner make damage waiver protection a powerful addition to a property manager’s

portfolio.

According to HomeAway, approximately 80% of guests would rather pay a small, nonrefundable fee than a large, refundable security deposit.

“Our unique offering with Assurant allows property managers to choose varying levels of protection based on the value of the home and potential replacement cost of furnishings instead of the one size fits all approach taken by other providers,” says Mike. “This allows our clients to provide their guests with the right level of coverage at a price that encourages conversion.”

Assurant, Inc. is a global provider of housing and lifestyle solutions that support, protect and connect major consumer purchases. “Usage- based vacation rental protection delivers customizable risk management solutions to make vacation rental transactions simple while giving property owners and their renters peace of mind,” said Kunal Malhotra, Vice President of Global Specialty Innovation at Assurant, “Our partnership with MyVR is another example of our sharing economy products empowering innovative companies.”

About MyVR

MyVR is a cloud-based software solution for short-term rental property managers. From a centralized dashboard, MyVR customers can manage 70+ premium listing sites (including AirBnB, HomeAway, Booking.com, Expedia and VRBO), launch their own direct sales channels, and automate renter communications and day-to-day workflow.
