When Emanuel “Manny” DeAnda steps into the studio, magic happens. His latest single, “Body (Na Na Na),” is a testament to this with his ability to blend emotional depth with irresistible grooves, offering fans an R&B experience that feels both nostalgic and cutting-edge.

Manny’s musical roots lie in his hometown of Pittsburgh, where he first gained fame as a member of Crave, the boy band that captured the city’s heart. Their talent earned them the Key to the City and a permanent place in Pittsburgh’s history with their very own “Crave Day”. Manny then took his career to new heights as the lead vocalist of Pretty Ricky, gracing stages across the country and collaborating with iconic artists like Keke Wyatt, Snoop Dogg, and H-Town.

With his recent release “Body (Na Na Na),” Manny proves once again why he’s a powerhouse in the R&B world. The song follows the success of his hit “12 Dozen Roses,” showcasing his ability to craft tracks that are equal parts romantic and innovative. Its smooth production and heartfelt lyrics create a listening experience that lingers long after the final note.

But Manny’s story doesn’t end with his music. As a mentor and educator, he’s dedicated to uplifting young talent through programs like 1Hood and Propel Creative Arts. His teaching inspires aspiring artists to harness their creativity and pursue their dreams, embodying the same passion that fuels his own journey. With that being said, be sure to press play on “Body (Na Na Na)”—a track that reaffirms Emanuel DeAnda’s place as a true R&B trailblazer.
