Vanessa Brown (born October 24, 1983), also known as VV Brown, is an English singer, songwriter, model, and producer signed to Universal Records in the United Kingdom and to EMI's Capitol Records in the United States. The ''Los Angeles Times'' and UK newspaper ''The Independent'' both named Brown an artist to watch in 2009/2010.

Early life and career

Vanessa Brown was born in Northampton, England. She is the eldest of six siblings; Her mother is Jamaican and her father is Puerto Rican. She attended Overstone Park School near Northampton, which her parents own and work at. Brown learned to play the piano, developed her vocals and took classical and jazz piano lessons at a musical arts school, which she attended on weekends.

Brown was given her name "VV" from her peers as an MC nickname when she attended her middle school. Her love for hip hop and artists such as J Dilla and Q-Tip still exist.

Brown studied violin at the age of 9 but gave it up because she found she was better at the piano and trumpet. She completed her grade 8 jazz trumpet at the age of 16 and went on to play in jazz bands up to the age of 21.

Growing up, VV listened to jazz artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie. Brown earned four "A" grade A-Levels, studying at Kingsthorpe Upper School (now Kingsthorpe Community College) a year early; she was offered places at five top UK universities to study law including Oxford, King's College London, LSE and York. She declined the offers to follow a career in music.

VV Brown was first offered a deal by Gut records when she was 14 but due to educational commitments she decided to finish her studies.

She was then offered a deal by Danny Simms, the manager and mogul associated with Bob Marley. Brown declined to finish her studies.

She joined a punk band at 15 and had the opportunity to tour Japan.

Subsequently, P. Diddy attempted to sign her to his record label Bad Boy Records.

At 18, Brown was invited to an open audition for VH1 divas by friends and was stopped outside the venue by an executive from London Records. Brown was offered a development deal by London records. The development soon came to an end and, at 19, Brown was offered a deal by Polydor records in the UK and A&M; records in the US. Her debut single was "Whipped".

She relocated to Los Angeles to work on her debut album ''Back To The Music''. Brown wrote most of the lyrics on the album. The hook for track "Nobody Loves Me" was written when Brown was 11. In preparation she performed at LA's Mint Club. A five track promo CD was released to executives but the album was then shelved. : "It was a very traumatic experience. I validated myself by my music, I was a small girl who didn't know who she was and all I had were these little piano demos. I kick myself for not taking enough control of the situation, I got swept away in the theatrics of the biz and Los angeles, but it taught me a huge lesson about owning what you do and following your instincts"

Brown moved back to London and began performing in bars and clubs around London. She was rediscovered by executive Darcus Beese and signed to Island Records.

''Traveling Like the Light'' was then recorded in 2007-2008.

On her Twitter account, Brown said that she has already finished her second album, but it won't come out until early 2012.
