Vanessa Bley

Vanessa Bley, daughter of late jazz pianist Paul Bley and pioneer video artist Carol Goss, is best known as front woman for haze-pop band Beast Patrol, noted Band to Watch by Rolling Stone, and the jazz-noir group Twin Danger, described as "The Sound Of Frank Sinatra Meets The Clash" by NPR.

Bley co-wrote and produced Twin Danger's self-titled debut album with the co-founder of Sade, saxophonist and guitarist Stuart Matthewman. The album, released by Decca / Universal Classics, went to #1 on the iTunes Jazz Chart and received four stars from Downbeat, leading to an interview on NPR’s All Things Considered and shows around the world including Billboard Live, Tokyo.

In addition to her two bands and solo records, Bley scores film and art installations, including a recent multi-sensorial perfume installation for International Flavors & Fragrances and Sony Arcade as well as the audio score for the film Eyes of the Moon, which debuted at the Marfa Film Festival.

Most recently, Bley completed a psych-rock solo record entitled, "Life & Death," inspired by the passing of her father and the move from New York City after 14 years, to Los Angeles. Her first single, "Sunset Hangover" premiered in November. The full album, released August 3, 2017, topped American Alternative and college radio charts.
In 2017, Bley recorded her first album of improvised solo piano music. Since the start of 2018, she has performed in Tokyo, Rome and New York with other concerts to be announced. Currently she is collaborating on a new project with Past Life Billionaires.
