Ciska Ciska is the project of 25-year-old Ghent-based singer-songwriter Ciska Dhaenens, who blends rare fragility and strength into beautifully otherworldly songs. With understated guitars, sparse piano, restrained drums and her golden voice, she draws listeners into a dreamy, melancholic universe where vulnerability takes center stage. Her enticing blend of indie and americana echoes the shadows of influences like Julia Jacklin, Adrienne Lenker and Aldous Harding. She has already supported artists such as Jamie Cullum (Queen Elisabeth Hall), Bluai and Ivy Falls.

Her debut single “Biotope” is winning hearts with ease, while she continues crafting her first album, a coming-of-age story in which she finally places her doubts, fears and vulnerability proudly on a pedestal.
