NESSAV - SINGER | SONGWRITER | CAPOEIRISTA

NessaV - a Canadian-born Brazilian that grew up performing with Aché Brasil (Brazilian music and dance group) and is now branching out with her own music.

Strong, sexy, gorgeous: NessaV is sugar and spice and everything nice with an urban, street edge. Imagine grimy pop with traces of hip hop and R&B, contrasted with soft, feminine melodies. Her sultry voice, irresistible Afro-Brazilian inspired beats, and jaw-dropping Capoeira skills have captivated audiences all over North America!

Inspired to write and perform her own music, NessaV did just that and won first place in a songwriting contest - Music Against Racism Project 2008 - sponsored by Music BC. Writing and performing her own music has allowed NessaV to explore other genres, The result is a sound that encompasses pop, r&b, hip-hop and samba, while remaining true to her Brazilian roots.

On June 3rd, 2010, NessaV released her début album - "Aché" as described by The Georgia Straight, "The aptly titled Aché is a slick showcase for NessaV’s radio-ready voice, setting it against hip-hop beats, R&B grooves, and a hint of samba." The word "aché" comes from the Yoruba language adopted by the Brazilian culture meaning “everything positive in the universe”.

On November 7th, 2010 NessaV's vocal performance placed her 1st in the 'Talento Brasil' talent show. As a result she will be flown by 'Talento Brasil' to Miami Florida late January 2011 to represent Canada in the 'Talento Brasil: North American' talent show.

Recently, on November 25th, 2010, NessaV released her debut album in Toronto!! Check out her latest reviews!
