Her voice is like smoked honey, her songs luscious and sticky. Think pop/folk with a jazz kick, and you’ve got a sweet little box to put Chanelle Davis in.

Chanelle is a New Zealand singer/songwriter currently based in Melbourne. She has released two solo albums – ‘Better Than Alone’ in 2006 and ‘Since Yesterday’ in 2008, distributed by ODE records. Since yesterday features the song ‘Dear Jon’ which won the 2007 New Zealand Songwriters’ Trust Award, judged by 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.

The songs that pour from her are predominantly piano-driven, but on a cold winter’s evening you’ll find Chanelle curled up in bed with an acoustic guitar. Her lyrics are fresh and well crafted - yet sound conversational and timeless. Her major influences include jazz artists like Rickie Lee Jones and Nina Simone as well as folk singer/songwriters like Jewel and Carole King.

A natural entertainer, Chanelle can make a theatre feel like a living room concert with her intimate storytelling and unique charm. You will laugh. You might cry. You will definitely sing along, and most likely you will fall in love with this beautiful songwriter.
