Charisse C

Sobre

Charisse C can best be described as a multi-faceted powerhouse: DJ, Artist, Singer-Songwriter and founder of the Abantu community, record label and event series. Rooted in her Zimbabwean and South African heritage, raised in the UK, Charisse C has been acclaimed by Mixmag as “building a bridge between continents.” Her sound is curious, soulful and bass-heavy; commanding international dance floors with a playful and intentional demeanor. Previously a Music Journalist, she describes herself as both a vessel and storyteller. Charisse C has long stood in the vanguard of South African dance music, carving a unique space in the global electronic music landscape. ‘Abantu’, which she started as a radio show and podcast in 2020, has since evolved into a record label and party curated and headlined by Charisse C herself. ‘Abantu’, known for its unparalleled curation and unique experience, recently sold out shows at London’s Village Underground twice, booking South African artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:5kmceQl1Y7lveTVbcy5ycD" data-name="Dlala Thukzin">Dlala Thukzin</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5C6dZk6xmSCgrYWjje5zPm" data-name="DJ LESOUL">DJ LESOUL</a> for their European debuts, alongside local heroes. 2024 saw Charisse C championed by Beatport’s Next up programme; as she released her debut EP <a href="spotify:album:1acxyJRAsjYqYK8cF6dOfM" data-name="EVERGREEN">EVERGREEN</a> under her own record label, adding singer/songwriter to her already illustrious belt.
