Cariss Auburn

Wolverhampton native Cariss Auburn represents some of the most exciting alt-R&B pop coming out of the UK. From earning comparisons to FKA Twigs to a "Song of the Day" title from The Line of Best Fit, Cariss’ latest releases, culminating with EP ‘Refraction,’ have garnered praise from the likes of Notion, COLORS, gal-dem, DORK, Refinery 29 and many more.

2021 saw Cariss receive support across major streaming platforms including Spotify, Tidal and Apple Music and gain her first spins on BBC Radio 1, BBC 1XTRA and BBC6 Music. Proven to be a truly captivating live performer with a standout debut festival performance at Liverpool Sound City, Cariss is also an ambassador for Gibson guitars, often spotted with her trademark baby blue Les Paul.

She starts this year in collaboration with Dr. Martens on fan-favourite single ‘Daydream’ for their #TeamUpOnTheTrack initiative on Instagram. Steadily growing confidence in her effortlessly unique sound, underpinned by universal emotion, new single 'Fantasy' is an 80s funk-influenced rejection of loneliness with glimmering synths.

Cariss is set to perform her debut London headline show at Notting Hill Arts Club on the 18th March and will be hitting Kendall Calling's Woodland Stage in July.
