Inspired by the radiant morning sun that fills her bedroom when she's in South Africa, Charisse C trades in the hats of DJ/producer for the roles of singer/songwriter. Produced by DJ Kwamzy, Morning Sun has rhythmic drums that infuse the song with ancestral sounds. Paired with Charisse C's softly sung vocals that explore the feeling of falling in love, the song is transcendant in it's pull to forgotten memories.
Morning Sun comes as the lead single of the UK-raised DJ's upcoming debut four-track EP, "EVERGREEN". The EP is slated for release on 5th April via her new label, Abantu.
Charisse C is a DJ, singer/songwriter of Zimbabwean and South African heritage. Raised in the UK; her taste is curious, soulful and bass-heavy, with a playful and intentional demeanour.
Described by Mixmag as "building a bridge between continents" with her "spiritual storytelling and fluid amapiano sets," and coined the "authority on the genre" by Benji B. The multifaceted tastemaker has played a wide and eclectic span of shows internationally; most recently selling out her own night 'Abantu' at Village Underground. Charisse C’s mixes can be found on Boiler Room, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6, BBC 1Xtra, NTS, Rinse FM and No Signal.
