DeAna Fai is on a roll writing songs that have what it takes to be a part of an award winning film. This past July, ‘A Kismet Holiday,’ directed by Chazitear and produced by Chuck and Bree West, won the Essence Film Festival Jury Award for Best Narrative Feature. Her songs “Christmas Love” and “Ready For Christmas” are heard in the film. This is “Christmas Love’s” third go, but the debut for “Ready For Christmas” premiered with it in “A Kismet Holiday.” The all star cast, Kym Whitley, Joyful Drake, Lamman Rucker, Elle Varner, and Asiahn were a perfect choice for this romantic festive film.
When it comes to having her songs synced in movies that don’t follow the seasons, DeAna Fai is no stranger to the motion picture business. Her holiday records are hits for movies looking for a little romance, camaraderie, and good times over the holidays. With this win, the pop-soul and R&B performer is savoring her early Christmas present. As a playback performer of “A Kismet Holiday,” DeAna Fai thrives in this area with her traditional lyrical concepts and tone. Her infectious tunes are impossible to ignore, and it’s impossible to dispute the emotions they evoke when first heard.
It’s no wonder why the Essence Film Festival welcomes a wide range of genres to the cinematic scene. Where others struggle, stars like DeAna Fai will have the chance to shine. Holiday hits are hard to come by, so this could be the catalyst to propel the artist into a career that will last for a long time. With DeAna Fai, we will undoubtedly be prepared for Christmas as the season draws near!
