Vanessa often tours solo, features other musicians/players or plays under the Vanessa Silberman Band with Reed Mullin, drummer of Corrosion of Conformity and Producer/Musician Mikel Ross as her backing band. She is also widely known for having a very strong DIY ethic and wearing many different hats in the music business --having worked for heavy hitter's in the music business such as Dr.Luke as well as for company's and places ranging from Epitaph Record's to the Foo Fighter's Studio 606. Her band Diamonds Under Fire was around for well over a decade and self-released numerous EPs, toured around the US 10 times – also played Canada, the UK, SXSW & SSMF.

With continual shows and touring, the 4th single 'Awake & Feeling' from her self-titled debut 5 song EP (which came out on Oct 7th, 2016), and an acoustic 60's inspired single 'Hide My Love Away' she hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down.

On Dec. 22nd 2017 the Vanessa Silberman Band released the single 'OK'. The ‘OK’ Music Video and song had its radio debut May 14th, 2018 on The Goddamn Dave Hill Show on WFMU 91.1FM in New York.

Vanessa’s solo music demonstrates that she hasn't completely ignored her alternative pop rock grunge roots of her later band but isn't afraid to try new things as she tastefully shows more skills in production, versatility between songs, even featuring other artists / collaborating as well as invites in more inspiration by different influences ranging from pop and old country blues to punk & hip hop. She is the kind of artist that fits in perfectly with this new era in music and demonstrates the platform of artists & bands out there who are building their own nitch in the music industry and are truly destined for success. Vanessa and her music are a growing brand proving a career that will have longevity because of knowing what she wants, doing it herself and paving her own way.
