Aness & The Flight Boys Club

Vanessa "Aness" Collins is a singer/songwriter from Oklahoma City. She grew up listening to Motown records with her father, thus influencing the sound and style of her music. Other influences to her sound include: Erykah Badu, Madonna, Fleetwood Mac, The Stylistics and Amy Winehouse. Upon graduating from Clark Atlanta University, she relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of music.

Aness started her music career by joining the Hip-hop group, Diverse Soul. She gained experience by working with different writers, artists, and production groups. Under her stage name Aness, she began regularly performing at dive bars and venues around Los Angeles. While working with the former production group, The Breakfast Club, Aness decided to craft her first EP, The Beauty of Revenge - which she wrote, vocal produced and then released independently last April. The Beauty of Revenge has received positive reviews from audiences for its mixture of Neo-Soul, R & B, Pop, and Hip Hop sound. Her performances with her new band "The Flight Boys Club" continue to gain a strong following that is worth a look. 

Venues Aness has performed at include: The House of Blues – Sunset Blvd, The Good Hurt, Molly Malones, The Libertine, Red Light Lounge, The Federal, and Skinny’s. Aness also performs weekly at bars around Los Angeles.
