VANESSA VIOLA

Bio:

In 2008 Vanessa Viola recorded a raw version of "Hollywood Waste" (aka Just Friends) and put it up on Myspace. Shortly after promoters started offering her gigs around Hollywood. While at a loft party in Venice she was inspired by the duo "Honey Honey." Immediately she called her friend/producer, Alex Koch, and asked him to play guitar for her. After one rehearsal they discovered the synergy between the two of them was magical.
Their fresh unique sound is complex and artistic, vintage but modern. Vanessa's lyrics are dreamy and a little broken leaving just enough hope for love to conquer all. Alex plays guitar with heart and brings a lot of empathy to her velvet and at times haunting vocals.
Their EP, "Lovesick Lullabyes" coming 2009 ..Vanessa Viola | Create Your Badge
