A modern-day Classic songwriter! Rich & vibrant with retro soul & joy
Forero’s shows are fast gaining a reputation for their feel-good, spirit and emotional pull. Moving effortlessly from hushed, piano-led moments to soaring, full-bodied highs, Forero creates an atmosphere that feels both deeply personal and irresistibly uplifting.
Between songs, she shares glimpses of her extraordinary family story.
Forero co-wrote a book about her mother, Marina Chapman, whose life story was featured in 'Woman Raised by Monkeys' on National Geographic and on Ben Fogle: 'New Lives in the Wild'. It’s a remarkable narrative of survival, resilience, and ultimately hope. These themes resonate deeply with Vanessa’s music.
With 'Days Before', Forero steps fully into her own as an artist. The album is a bold, heartfelt collection that marks her evolution into a richer, more expansive sound, bringing together her band for the first time. “This is my shameless record,” she says, “an unapologetic celebration of joy, honesty and musical roots.” From raw reflection to uplifting, gospel-tinged anthems, Days Before is alive with emotion, connection and pure, life-affirming energy.
