Charlotte Wessels, whose full name is Johanna Charlotte Wessels, is a Dutch singer and songwriter known for her versatile vocal range and emotive performances. Born on May 13, 1987, in Zwolle, Netherlands, she initially garnered widespread recognition as the frontwoman of the symphonic metal band Delain, which she co-founded in 2005. With Delain, Charlotte's powerful voice proved central to the band's success, contributing to their reputation as a heavy hitter in the symphonic metal scene with multiple albums and international tours.

In 2021, following her departure from Delain, Charlotte embarked on a solo career that showed her exploring a variety of musical landscapes, ranging from alternative pop to atmospheric rock. Her solo projects, such as the EP "Tales from Six Feet Under Vol. II" and her intriguingly eclectic release "The Alchemy Project," exhibit her growth as an independent artist and her prowess in storytelling through music. Her creative output includes a mix of original songs and unexpected covers like Ghost's "Mary On A Cross," showcasing both her songwriting skills and her ability to reinterpret music with her unique signature. Whether it's the haunting beauty of "May It Be" or the dark energy of tracks like "Toxic," Charlotte Wessels continues to captivate audiences with her dynamic approach to music and her dedication to her craft as a singer-songwriter.
