About Vanessa Littrell
Is there life without a stage? i don't really think so. it all depends on what you do while you're on it. me i choose to sing, because that's what makes me happy. first found my way up there when i was seven, haven't seemed to be able to step down. i suppose i could get a real job, but i haven't found one as satisfying as getting occasionally kicked in the teeth by the music business! ha ha! but seriously i have been writing since i was 11, producing albums since i was 19, and chances are, if i'm lucky, i'll still be doing it when i'm 80. i don't have an impressive list of awards and venues, but i'll tell you one thing - i will not disappoint you. there is one constant in my life - besides friends and family - and that is hair. my hair has it's own life, it makes decisions - like how my day is gonna go - and it is always wild - sometimes straight, sometimes curly, but always very much in charge. so there you have it - stage and hair - the only two things that define my style - all the rest is smoke and mirrors anyway.
