Estée Pardo is a singer and songwriter from Antwerp, Belgium, blending R&B and soul with a darker, gothic-inspired aesthetic. Her sound is built around rich vocal harmonies, smooth melodies and intricate vocal arrangements, creating music that feels both soulful and haunting.

Inspired by artists such as Yebba and Rosalía, Estée puts her voice at the center of her music, with layered harmonies, expressive vocal runs and melodic ear candy woven throughout her songs.

Her songwriting explores darker themes and emotional vulnerability, while occasionally moving into Spanish to bring a different colour and texture to her music. Estée also embraces experimentation, playing with electronic instrumentals, unconventional melodies, vocal textures and structures to create something uniquely her own.

The result is an intimate, atmospheric sound that balances darkness with beauty, soulful songwriting with vocal experimentation, and smooth melodies with unexpected moments.
