Botswana: Danielle Swagger releases ‘I’m Woke’ video

‘I’m Woke’ is available for streaming on YouTube, Spotify and Deezer.

The video for the song was shot in Reunion and portrays some popular geographical sites like Pointe au Sel, Saint-Leu, Grand Anse Beach and the Grand Galet Falls.

“Everything is possible when you take a leap forward, you might just fall into the hands of people that believe in you more than you do, you just got to keep it going for you to win,” Danielle Swagger told Music In Africa. “My music journey has been one of trials and tribulations. For a young lady trying to get her music underway in this broad creative industry, it isn't easy to get opportunities. It's either you are told to sacrifice a part of you or doors simply get shut in your face.

“Music is a passion that not everyone hangs onto or turns into reality. But I was able, hence I am stating my presence and purpose in the song saying, 'No matter what I am doing to keep going, please do the same because life is about living out your inspirations'.

"The video was shot in a way such that the ocean resembles my force, and where I stand is the stage with my girls who support me and can be seen enjoying the sound in the video.”

The video, according to Danielle Swagger’s manager, Christophe Durand Woba Kélé, is set to introduce the rapper to new fans and grow her brand as a professional artist. Kélé also said the video was designed to portray Danielle’s determination and battles in the music scene.
