With her debut EP Hit & Run, Charis blends folk, pop, country, and cinematic storytelling into a deeply personal collection of songs about identity, self worth, and learning to be seen. We caught up with the Vienna based songwriter to talk about the stories behind the record, trusting her instincts, and why authenticity will always find the right listeners.

When we first featured Maria, it was her quiet honesty that stayed with us. With Better Without You, she's embracing that same vulnerability with a newfound confidence, opening up about trusting her instincts, finding her voice, and stepping fully into the next chapter of her artistry

CASANDRA continues to expand the world of ISLA TRANQUILITA with "HOURGLASS," a dreamy, emotionally rich single that lingers long after it ends. We caught up with the Los Angeles artist as she steps into her next chapter, one built on intimacy, imagination, and the quiet power of slowing down.
