NESS NÖST is musician & multi instrumentalist Vanessa Nøstbakken, originally from Ottawa/Montreal, now based out of Vancouver, BC Canada. Vanessa has been a live performer for many years in theatre, and as a musician on stage. Vanessa’s roots are in folk, soul and jazz. In Montreal she was the lead singer for the jazz group “Swoon Quartet,” and toured with them in the USA and Canada. Vanessa moved to the west and joined indie rock band “Easy Ruckus,” with whom she recorded an EP. Vanessa continued developing her solo career on the west coast where she busked her way from the streets to the Vancouver music scene, playing in venues all over town with different artists/groups, and as a solo act. Whether it’s in the studio or on stage, making art and music is a huge part of her life. Vanessa is currently working on an EP fusing her folk roots with more electronic, harmonious melodies with many layers of the female voice.
