Charisse C is on a mission to promote African music in the UK. 

As she explains in this edition of TIA, as a young woman raised in the UK by parents from Zimbabwe and South Africa, when she began to hear Amapiano, and through it southern African culture being expressed and embraced, it was a big moment for her.  She has now built a career in music, first working as a journalist, then as a DJ, radio show host, and record label owner.

Now Charisse C has launched herself as a recording artist. She has a new four track EP called Evergreen produced by Kwamzy.
