Ciska Ciska

Ciska Ciska is the project of Ghent-based Ciska Dhaenens (26), a singer-songwriter with the ability to wrap fragile strength in beautiful songs. With subtle guitar, piano and a golden voice, Dhaenens draws the listener into her inner world, where she stands both vulnerably and fearlessly. Her debut album ‘Page Of Cups (Reversed)’ is out September 11th.

‘Page Of Cups (Reversed)’ was produced by MIA Award-winning producer Pieterjan Coppejans (Sylvie Kreusch) and mixed by Tobie Speleman (Dressed Like Boys, The Haunted Youth). With Lukja Vanaverbeke, Mathijs Steels and Lou De Smet, Dhaenens surrounds herself with an excellent band that makes just as strong an impression live, on fine stages like Best Kept Secret, Left of the Dial and Antwerp-based discovery festival We Are Open.

With a string of new shows coming up both in Belgium and abroad, the only way is up for an artist labelled as one to watch for 2026.
