Vanessa is a New Zealand born and raised Singer, Songwriter and Music Producer. First burst onto the scene in 2023 showcasing her Trip Hop genre with some hauntingly hypnotic ear worm tracks which, mixed together with her velvet smooth vocals - she’s set to take you into another dimension. The lyrics are heart felt and there is something in her songs for everyone. A wide range of her work can be found on her website vanessatottlemusic.com or on any streaming platform. Vanessa is the host of The New Zealand Trip Hop Show on Radio Trip Hops 24/7 online radio station based in Brazil, where she talks all things Trip Hop and show cases her art to an international audience of over 100,000 listeners.
Charlie has toured the world playing shows in Europes largest festivals, treehouse bars in the South Pacific and every nook in between. The Irish native has delivered this inspired and personal collection of tracks from his life experiences and foreign travels. His showmanship as a performer and craftsmanship as a songwriter bear resemblance to an early Springsteen and a pre-electric Dylan. Charles would be best described as an advocate, a socially driven writer who is passionate about the subject matter in his songs. His voice is his secret weapon and he’s not afraid to use it - thus emphasising his range and dynamic as a live performer.
