Vandal

Vanessa Dale Daou (born October 4, 1967) is an American singer, songwriter, poet, visual artist and dancer. Most notably a musician, her work is known among nu jazz, trip hop and electronic music circles for her trademark spoken word and aspirated singing style as well as its erotic and literary subtexts. Daou's songs are represented by Downtown Music Publishing. While still a student, Daou began her career recording for NuGroove Records, one of New York's underground electronica labels. Demos that Daou had recorded caught the attention of two NuGroove DJs, and they invited her to provide guest vocals on a developing track. The experiment led to the label's top-selling single "It Could Not Happen", which later was released on Network Records in the United Kingdom. Daou also performed as "Vandal" (amalgamation of her first name Vanessa and middle name Dale) at Los Angeles' Stranger Than Fiction rave at the Shrine Auditorium in 1990.
