The sisters’ collaborations and sultry, crooning vocals prove they are a “two-piece cultivating their own strand of R&B” (Vogue).
Growing up betweetn Lagos, Nigeria and California, VanJess have brought an entirely new take to contemporary R&B, one that pays tribute to ’90s greats like TLC, SWV, and Aaliyah, while instinctually inciting an inimitable style. The sisters cut their teeth online with a string of viral covers, bursting onto the scene with their self-released debut album, ‘Silk Canvas,’ last summer. The album was a definitive R&B statement, a smooth, seductive record establishing the sisters as ones to watch, to take the R&B world by storm.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
