Twin Danger

Brooklyn's Twin Danger make their own distinctive mix of smoky, atmospheric jazz and pop. Formed in 2013, Twin Danger were born from the collaborative spark between longtime <a href="spotify:artist:47zz7sob9NUcODy0BTDvKx">Sade</a> guitarist/saxophonist <a href="spotify:artist:2OOsPeiMEpk3JKFqUT9OAN">Stuart Matthewman</a> and vocalist/guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:0yM9C19I2gmmPAISqt5BGk">Vanessa Bley</a>. The daughter of visual artist Carol Goss and jazz pianist <a href="spotify:artist:4HCwj3Nt6DTTmJCpHuQOeM">Paul Bley</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0yM9C19I2gmmPAISqt5BGk">Vanessa</a> grew up studying classical piano in upstate New York. Self-taught on guitar and bass, <a href="spotify:artist:0yM9C19I2gmmPAISqt5BGk">Bley</a>'s interests gradually shifted away from classical and toward jazz improvisation and singing. Later, while studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology in N.Y.C., she began performing her songs at various local venues. It was during this period that she collaborated with Estonian pop artist <a href="spotify:artist:4IFgewC2urR62Fwt7uAU03">Kerli</a>, who in turn introduced <a href="spotify:artist:0yM9C19I2gmmPAISqt5BGk">Bley</a> to <a href="spotify:artist:2OOsPeiMEpk3JKFqUT9OAN">Matthewman</a>. Discovering that they shared an eclectic taste in jazz and rock, <a href="spotify:artist:2OOsPeiMEpk3JKFqUT9OAN">Matthewman</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0yM9C19I2gmmPAISqt5BGk">Bley</a> began performing and writing together. In 2015, Twin Danger released their debut self-titled album on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Universal%22">Universal</a>. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
