Dale Novella
Singer. Songwriter. Educator. Curator. Host.
​​
I’m Dale Novella, a singer/songwriter and music producer hailing from the South Carolina Lowcountry and now rooted in Brooklyn. I infuse everything I touch with Soul, Funk, and Rock. After earning my Media Arts degree from the University of South Carolina, I stepped into the worlds of entrepreneurship and radio production, always pushing boundaries with my diverse skill set. As a registered Yogi, Teaching Artist with Community-Word Project and Building Beats, and co-Director of the Teaching Artist Project, I use my gifts to help others find peace, express their emotions, and reconnect with themselves. I curate live music events, as well as yoga and wellness workshops, all centered around the transformative power of music and community. Since earning my 200-hour yoga certification in 2018, I’ve been weaving mindfulness and wellness into my songwriting and production workshops for youth. In 2020, I released my self-produced EP, *SANG BXTCH!!*, and have since toured both the U.S. and Europe.

For close to a decade, The Poet WILL Be Televised (TPWBT), a jam session for poets and the poetic was a staple on the NYC underground scene! Cohosted by myself and hip hop artist Baxter Wordsworth, TPWBT provided virtual and physical spaces for creatives to tell their stories through music and spoken word. TPWBT was a series of open mics, jam sessions, web series and public showcases.
 Here, enjoy clips from our past events.

A witty podcast cohosted by myself, Baxter Wordsworth and emcee Mikal Amin, Poets to the People: A Podcast began as The Poet Podcast on Skye's Crescent Radio. On the show, my cohosts and I examined societal issues with different guest artists and experts in the field. We also showcased special performances from The Poet WILL Be Televised.
For 10 years, I've been fortunate enough to instruct youth and adults throughout the NYC area, and beyond. With my workshops, I provide meditations, sound healing, and songwriting sessions.

Dawn Orlando, Funkadelic Studios - Owner
To describe Dale in two words, she is a: creative muse. She uses her voice, production expertise and artistic ability to birth beautiful sounds to soothe the soul, inspire creativity in others and live enthusiastically in her purpose. Over the years, I’ve witnessed her performances and captured her as a brand photographer. She’s a joy to work with and see in action.

I recalled her stepping out of the crowd, seemingly out of nowhere, onto the stage and confidently engaging the audience, pumping life into each line and phrase she recited. I remember the freedom in her vocals towards the close of her poem. I remember her singing. I didn’t expect it at all! Being new to NYC artist market, Dale had instantly branded her voice as a signature element in my mind. I remember her bubbling passion, and her unbridled bravery
