chong kwong

Daughter of a Cape Verdean father, a Mozambican mother, and with Chinese and Timorese grandparents, Vanessa Pires is a portuguese MC whose diverse heritage deeply influences her music and her visual universe.

Having spent seven years studying in Macau and Hong Kong studying, her international experience shapes her unique sound and perspective.

Her music is a reflection of her life, emotions, and beliefs, with the concept of the "Palácio Chong Kwong" at its core - this imaginary palace is a realm where she invites listeners to explore her multifaceted identity, offering reflections on life, culture, and society.

A passionate advocate for women's empowerment, Chong Kwong uses her voice and music to inspire positive change, leaving a lasting impact through her art.
