Bio

Chanelle is a New Zealand singer/songwriter currently based in Melbourne. The songs that pour from her are predominantly piano-driven, but on a cold winter’s evening you’ll find her curled up in bed with an acoustic guitar. Her lyrics are fresh and well crafted - yet sound conversational and timeless. Her influences include Rickie Lee Jones, Leonard Cohen, Jewel and Carole King.

Her latest release 'The Way I Found You' EP is available now on itunes, along with her two solo albums – ‘Better Than Alone’ and ‘Since Yesterday’. Since yesterday features the song ‘Dear Jon’ which won the 2007 New Zealand Songwriters’ Trust Award, judged by kiwi songwriter Don McGlashan.

In 2009/2010 Chanelle travelled around Australia, Canada and America collecting inspiration for her upcoming 3rd album. She also studied in Boston with author of Writing Better Lyrics – Pat Pattison. Pat released his latest book in 2012 'Songwriting Without Boundaries which features some of Chanelle's writing.
