Vanessa Renee

Vanessa Renee was born and raised in South Carolina. Stemming from an extremely musical family, she was regularly exposed to a broad variety of musical influence. With her mother a piano instructor, Vanessa became an early virtuoso on the keyboards. She began entertaining at a very young age and had written her first piece of music at age six which she used to win a school talent competition.

She continued to study with some of South Carolina's premiere pianists and by age fifteen was performing and writing her won material. Since then, Vanessa has recorded her debut album (Stones). She continues to throughout the Southeast including shows at notable venues such as The Handlebar and Whitman's backroom. Her songs have been used in student movie and theater productions at Regent University.

Her significant performances consist of shows with the Little River Band, Maura O'Connell and Susan Werner. Her style has generated comparisons to musicians such as Loreena McKennitt, Kate Bush, and George Winston. She currently lives in Greenville, South Carolina, where she is working on a second album.
