BIO
Inheriting new wave, Charleen draws inspiration from Depeche Mode, The Cure and INXS, and anchors it firmly in the present.
Carried by airy or saturated guitars, synths that echo like memories, and a drum machine that sounds fresh out of the 80s, her voice explores introspective themes in English.
Alone on stage, Charleen reveals a minimalist world that hits harder than expected.
In 2024, she co-wrote "No Name" with Nicola Sirkis on Indochine's latest album - one of the biggest French rock bands - ten years after lending her voice to the backing vocals on their album Black City Parade.
Her latest single, Solstice, released in May 2026, is a vibrant tribute to England and marks the start of a new chapter in her musical project.
