ABOUT ME

Emerging from the vibrant streets of Santiago, Chile, Vanessa Estrada now immerses herself in Melbourne's eclectic music scene, infusing her dynamic presence with the rich tapestry of her cultural heritage. With a decade of performance experience in Melbourne across various projects, Vanessa commands a substantial following that eagerly anticipates her every move.

Her journey stands as a testament to art's ability to transcend borders, forging connections that resonate deeply.

Her recent nomination for the 2022 Music Victoria Awards underscores her profound impact on the local music scene. It acknowledges her unwavering dedication to pushing creative boundaries and championing diversity. From curated events celebrating multiculturalism to collaborations with artists from all walks of life, Vanessa's work transcends entertainment, offering a glimpse into music's transformative power to bridge divides and inspire change.
