About Me

Writing with an honesty and thoughtfulness way beyond her years, there is a feeling that seeing 19 year old singer/songwriter Vanessa Jade play her growing repertoire at this stage of her burgeoning musical career, is to see an artist who has a bright future before her. Since her first gig after finishing high school in 2005, Vanessa Jade has captivated audiences all over the central coast with her angelic voice and quiet command of the stage. Already appearing in some of the Coasts most highlighted gigs such as; The Entrance Country music festival, Lizottes, Kantara House, Brackets and Jam, and the lockup garage 96.3fm, just to mention a few. Vanessa Jade describes her music as “bluesy/pop with a touch of country/folk”, citing influences from the likes of Ryan Adams, Gillian Welch, and Patty Griffin. Early this year (2007) Vanessa Jade recorded her debut E.P (Home Again) of 5 original tracks; from which she gained notable attention from some important people within the music industry. ............................................................ .................................................... ...*************************************** ********* *** ** * Add me on facebook- http://apps.facebook.com/ilike/artist/Vanessa+Jade or add me on ilike.com- http://www.ilike.com/artist/Vanessa+Jade or click on thisalso.. heres a link to a radio interview I did at the start of last year (07) ; http://odeo.com/audio/9476953/view
