DJ, producer & cultural trailblazer Charisse C releases a brand-new single "Morning Sun", lifted from her debut EP "EVERGREEN".
Raised in the UK, with Zimbabwean and South African heritage, Charisse C is spearheading the electronic dance music soundscape with Amapiano rooted sets that explore the breadth of African dance music. Her authority on the genre has led her to host London’s first Amapiano Boiler Room as well as play three Boiler Room sets of her own, perform at Afro Nation, Benji B’s Deviation party, support Scorpion Kings at Printworks and Major League DJz at The Warehouse Project, amongst others.
The exciting artist holds a powerful presence in dance music with her label Abantu running events, podcasts, and cultural happenings such as her NTS radio show and is now set to release her own music which is truly fitting and a perfect time.
Single "Morning Sun" is a euphoric, trumpet adorned, 3 Step dance record about the experience of finally falling in love. With this song, we see Charisse C, come into her own as a recording artist. Written and sung by Charisse C herself and produced by DJ Kwamzy; Morning Sun was inspired by the enveloping rays of the morning sun that floods into her bedroom in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Listen below:
Her debut EP "EVERGREEN" will introduce us to a new element of her artistry coming into her own as a singer/songwriter. In true Charisse C fashion, this debut is a hybrid of genres and influences, honing into the latest emerging sound from South Africa, 3-Step. Partnering up with Ghanian-British producer extraordinaire, DJ Kwamzy, and South African Soulful House aficionado, Shazmicsoul on production. "EVERGREEN" is a rich body of work; still with the heavy-hitting impact of the Amapiano log drum and the soulful curiosity Charisse C is known for.
Along with unveiling her new music, Charisse C will also be launched her Abantu label at Village Underground earlier this month. Both these moments are a huge moment for one of the leaders in dance music.
