Backstory of Vanessa Foxx

Vanessa Foxx walks into every room like she’s stepping onto a quiet stage—unhurried, self-possessed, and humming some forgotten tune from the 1940s. Born and raised in the soulful corners of Ghent, Belgium, Vanessa was raised on vinyl records, black-and-white films, and the scent of her grandmother’s lavender soap. Her mother was a seamstress, her father a mechanic, but it was her grandfather, a retired saxophonist, who handed her a microphone one rainy afternoon and said, “Sing like the world already misses you.”

From that moment, jazz became her compass.

Vanessa’s voice is her instrument—smoky, slow, aching with the kind of warmth that sounds like it knows your secrets. She isn’t famous, and she doesn’t try to be. She performs in moody cafés, riverside bars, and cozy basements tucked beneath record shops, where the audience leans in close and nobody checks their phones. Her repertoire is a blend of dusky standards, personal lyrics, and reinterpreted lullabies from her Flemish childhood.

She lives a modest life—just enough to pay rent on her small flat above a bookstore and to afford the herbal teas she claims keep her voice “from cracking like old vinyl.” She often trades performances for meals or record time at underground studios in Ghent or Brussels.

Vanessa is immediately recognizable thanks to her unique look: bright, natural red hair, a perfectly imperfect gap between her front teeth, and round tinted sunglasses she wears almost religiously. The glasses aren't a fashion choice—they’re a medical requirement. She has chronic photophobia, a condition that makes her painfully sensitive to bright lights, including stage spotlights. Rather than letting it hinder her, she made the lenses her trademark. Now, people say her voice sounds even more haunting behind those shaded lenses, like she’s singing to a world she can only partially see.

Her tooth gap? It's part of the charm—an unfiltered, unedited note in a world that tries too hard to auto-tune life.

Vanessa Foxx sings not for fame, but for survival—for connection, for the small crowd of regulars who come just to hear her whisper a song and lean on every syllable. She’s not rich, not trending, and not chasing anything but truth in every note.

And somehow, that’s enough.
