Sister duo VanJess are going their separate ways.
Full story below…
Beloved by many R&B enthusiasts, the singing siblings first made waves covering songs on YouTube before garnering serious music industry buzz and nabbing a record deal with Keep Cool / RCA.
Though the term “underrated” oft trailed the duo, they commanded a loyal following.
Now, it appears the ladies are hoping said following will join them as they set sail on different journeys.
Because moments ago, VanJess announced their breakup.
In a letter to fans, Jess wrote:
“Hi guys, it’s Jess. I see you and know how much you’ve been wanting to hear new music and see more from the both of us. The truth is, about 8 months ago my sister decided to step away from VanJess. I fully support and respect my sister in pursuing what makes her the happiest. I know this news is disappointing to you all, but want to thank you for your love and support over the years from watching us record covers in our bathroom to making our wildest dreams come true.
All that being said, this has given me the opportunity to start creating music of my own. I’ve spent the last few months finishing a project I’m beyond excited for you to hear. With my sister’s blessing, I will continue to post here and hope you all stay for the ‘ride’: Tomorrow is the start of something new.”
She signed the letter Amaka, which is a nod to their Nigerian heritage and possibly a hint of a rebranding for her own endeavors.
