Vanessa McNiel is a Los Angeles-born rock, indie, and alternative singer-songwriter known for her honest songwriting and captivating live performances. She toured internationally as an opening act for Adam Ant with the all-female rock band The Glam Skanks before embarking on her solo career.

Currently recording her self-titled debut EP, Vanessa writes and performs original music on piano and guitar, transforming personal experiences into songs that feel both intimate and anthemic. Her goal is to love harder and inspire you to do the same. Laughing is good—before or after crying—and Jesus is dope.
