Charlotte Wessels suit des cours de chant jazz et classique. Trouvant le classique trop restrictif, elle décide de faire quelque chose "entre le classique et le jazz", et s'oriente vers le genre gothique[3].
Après seize années passées comme chanteuse du groupe Delain, elle le quitte en février 2021, Martijn Westerholt ayant décidé de poursuivre l’aventure Delain sous la forme d’un projet solo[4].
↑« DELAIN's CHARLOTTE WESSELS: 'I Was Totally Bewitched By KATE BUSH As A Kid' », sur blabbermouth.net, : « "I was totally bewitched by Kate Bush as a kid, like probably a lot of singers," said Charlotte. "There were a lot of bands that my parents listened to that I really, really loved, but, for me somehow, hearing a female singer, I responded to that more. I could sing the songs better. That was musically a really big influence and also made me take classical lessons because I like singing high pitched so much. That was musically, I think, the biggest influence. Lyrically, Nick Cave, all the way. [Laughs] Just the storytelling in the lyrics, which I don't do enough, but it's always been a goal. He's been really inspirational." »
