Manu discovered the artistic world for the first time when he was five years old with Piano lessons and three years later with theatre courses. Later he took Drums courses and learnt by his own the Tin-Whistle. In June 2001, he wrote "Warn't Be", is very first song. Greatly influenced by The Corrs' style, his first songs are very close to the Irish band's ones. It's two years later while discovering Alanis Morisette, that his songs became more personal and turned to a new style. Manu's music identity was slowly making its way. After two years without any piano composition, he decided to add his instrument of origin back in his songs and created this soft relaxing universe you can find here. Let's enjoy the music! "Chrysalis" is one of the song taken from a new musical season called "Cottonite".

"Cottonite" is one of the first important opus of Manu Vaanikia. This project, still under construction already counts around ten tracks, which some are available on this page. New ideas and sources of inspiration, and new people in Manu's life are daily helping in his music, which make "Cottonite" better than ever. It's something he's working hard on to complete as a professional album. "Cottonite" was formerly called "Smokes Story".
