"Nessa Dove will leave you speechless and not just for her hair, which also, it must be said, is brutal, but for her skill with the guitar. Nessa not only sings and writes her songs, she is also a guitarist and it is something that we noticed at minute 1 of beginning to listen to her. The songs are not accompanied by a guitar, it is the guitar that leads the melody. We are 100% sure that you will not be able to avoid being tempted to listen to it again and again in a loop. You dare?" - TOP PLAYLISTS

Nessa Dove Lights It Up With Her Debut Single

Nessa Dove is a Canadian born Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter with diverse East African heritage, who is breaking through the music industry gates with her debut single, "Light It Up"! Her sprinkle of sweet, hint of raw, and dash of unconventional, spews out a delicious alternative/indie blend with pop appeal. Now in NYC, Nessa writes, arranges, and co-produces her music, in addition to playing a mean guitar! In her music, you may hear virtuosic guitar riffs, licks, and solos while she pulls you in with sweet melodies and catchy hooks. Nessa rocks with her heart and soul. She intends to create a musical oasis for all to experience with her. The sky is the limit.
Nessa has dedicated the last several years to honing her craft as a self-taught musician. She’s been living the New York City “artist” life, while simultaneously learning the best lessons of her life, leading to her “bigger purpose” and “ah-ha” moments. Nessa is a spiritual person and believes in the power of love and inclusion, not conforming to racial, religious, economic, cultural, or sexual defining labels that divide and separate us. Having gone against the grain of her conservative African roots, Nessa has curved out her own identity that’s all about freedom and expression.
Nessa understands the limitations people put on themselves: the anxieties that hold us back, the stigmas, the fear, and the people pleasing. Having dealt with these issues herself, she has learned some of her biggest lessons and had some of her greatest epiphanies from an unlikely source; the NYC Homeless community. She started busking in the NYC subways a few years after moving to New York City to pursue her musical career. It has been one of the best learning experiences of her life.
One experience particularly stands out on Nessa’s journey. On one fateful night in Union Square, where Nessa and her drummer came across a special homeless man. The experience had her in tears the entire Subway ride back home. The homeless man was full of wisdom, love, words of advice, and encouragement. He showed her the joy of freedom, self expression, letting go, and universal love., which really made them connect. He kept telling her to “fly, just fly”, “be free”, and to “let it be”, as if knowing the yearnings of her soul and her potential.
After a long, magical night of dancing freely and jamming in unison with the music, the man folded his “Nessa Dove” flyer and put it carefully into his pocket. He continued to say “fly, just fly”. This reverberated in Nessa’s soul, and continues as an eternal echo. Truth be told, Nessa has always wanted to fly, and to express freely unchained and unbound like a bird. A once inhibited, people pleasing Vanessa, Nessa Dove the artist, strives to soar far above, reaching new heights of expression and freedom, while taking all with her on a journey of emotions, experiences, escapism, a sense of aliveness, joy, and connection to something bigger! Nessa wants her listeners to experience this however it means to them. Her affinity for feathers, Dove’s, and birds are a symbol for all of this. They represent her desire to express and live for and from her soul. To let herself feel, let herself go, and let herself be, as the homeless man had exemplified.
Nessa encourages the people who follow her to live their best lives to the fullest. Following their bliss, on their terms, for their souls. This concept truly shines through in Nessa’s music. She considers herself an artist with endless creativity.
Her music touches on a variety of relatable topics including romance, love, and spiritual themes, while expressing the human range of emotion She pulls inspiration from different genres, and clearly doesn’t want to be bound or confined. You may hear her shredding guitar one moment, singing soulfully another, or beat boxing the next. She wants to bring her fans the best version of herself. - Cold Coffee Records

Nessa Dove releases her debut single
"Light it up"
Two years ago, German Daily News published an article about a New York street musician who caught our eye in the New York subway. Now Nessa Dove released her debut single.

Almost to the day exactly two years ago, I met a street musician in New York (http://www.mariograss.germandailynews.com/report-81504/die-new-yorker-strassenmusikerin-nessa-dove.html), I noticed in the New York subway. I met a young artist who believed in her dreams and was ready to work hard for it. Now Nessa Dove released her debut single.
"I am very excited to be able to release` LIGHT IT UP`," says an overjoyed Nessa Dove. The Canadian singer and songwriter with East African roots has made a name for herself in the New York underground music scene with her open-minded, infectious laugh and not least her musical talent in recent years. In the US metropolis Nessa writes, arranges and produces her music, combining virtuoso guitar riffs with appealing melodies, raw rock and catchy pop rhythms. Two years ago German Daily News was able to convince itself of this: Nessa loves what she does and she makes music with heart and soul.
She is inspired by different styles, without being artistically limited. The autodidact describes her music as a "mixture of different genres like rock, pop, indie with a large portion of soul." If you see Nessa picking up her guitar, the question of her musical role models answers itself, because it is easy to notice the fun and virtuosity she enriches her guitar solos with "wah-wah" effects and thus she answers as expected to this demand: "Jimi Hendrix". In general, she is influenced by the music of the 1960s and calls as further influences the Beatles, Alanis Morissette, Prince and Lauryn Hill.
Nessa has been living in New York for seven years to live out her great passion, the music. "That was not easy at first," she remembers her beginnings in the city. "The first few years I used to work as a nanny to stay afloat. It's a bit of a hiccup here and it's not always easy, but you grow on it when you're passionate about what you love and what you do. "
"I used my time in New York to learn to refine my skills and develop my musical skills." Nessa has gained experience on the streets and in the subway stations of the city, has appeared in various clubs and has worked as a Studio musician worked. "Now I'm ready to expand my audience and share my music with the world," she says confidently.
When we talked to each other in a New York bar two years ago, she laughingly said, "You have to work harder on yourself in New York than anywhere else ... but `if you make it here you can make it anywhere`” a determined glimpse unequivocally betrayed her wanting to tackle this challenge. With her first single released, Nessa has taken a decisive step towards her dream.

Nessa Dove (Vanessa Rwetsiba) is a Canadian born singer, songwriter, and guitarist who is now based in the USA. She started her recording career in 2018 after many years of live performance.


Light It Up was originally released in 2018 as a single. It is about the early stages of love: before being together there is the question of whether to fight it or light it up; being together and wanting to take that next step and light it up; then loving being together as you light it up. It is a great, optimistic love song with a great pop beat that draws from many different traditions blended together in Nessa‘s uniquely individual style.
