Vanessa Conde
She recorded the "For You" dance single with Detour Records but is a songwriter of R&B,Pop Ballads,Dance/House and Inspirational Music." We have seen that this talented, unsigned artist continues to excel with every single she puts out," says LG5 of ACID PLANET.COM "Sometimes being unsigned has its advantages from a creative standpoint as you can work on multiple genres and improve your flexibility as a singer", Vanessa simply states.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
History:
Regarded as a "talented child most likely to entertain her peers for sheer enjoyment"
this statuesque, Latina beauty was born to Dominican parents and grew up in Washington Heights New York City. Her playtime consisted of singing to the radio and practicing in school plays and functions since she was four. Attending Teaneck H.S. in Teaneck N.J. gave her the opportunity to bond with choral director, Dr. Maredia Warren. Dr. Warren appreciated Vanessa's true love to achieve vocal excellence.
She then attended Westminster Choir College & Montclair State as a Classical Vocal Major and kept her songwriting hobby.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
On special occassions. Performed once in Florida USA at Club Ozone, and again with recording artist AMBER onstage at Club Tribeca in New Jersey USA. Loved the reaction from the crowd and the energy both times!!!
