Quotes About Vette: "Her voice is like the time-traveling purr of Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies meeting the sexual-power and attitude of Deborah Harry. Her ability to craft perfect songs makes her a real, rare force to be reckoned with. I hope we get to make another record someday soon, and can't wait to hear more of what she comes up with." - Rob Giles, Producer/Songwriter/Bassist +Singer for the LA-based band, “The Rescues” “Vette’s music projects a calm confidence…You can sense the country, the torch songs, the Cocteau Twins atmospherics, the distanced/distorted production, and how it all comes together... The combination makes the music and performances …intriguingly timeless to my ears.” -Ned Raggett reviewer for the OC Weekly and the All Music Guide “She has great instincts, and guts. She is also a rare individual: a talented and charismatic writer and performer.” - Bonnie Hayes, Producer, BonTone Productions (business partner), Songwriter “Love Letter” and “Have A Heart” were recorded on Bonnie Raitt’s “Nick of Time” album. "I’d say she’s right up there with Norah Jones as far as quality of tone. That’s just something you’re born with. I love working with her! " - Peter A. Barker, Former Head Engineer, Sony Records. Engineer/Producer/Owner, Threshold Sound+Vision (Fiona Apple, Elvis Costello, Melissa Etheridge, Death Cab for Cutie...)


ARTIST BIO Vette hopes to hypnotize, and guide you into your own inner space. Her voice has traveled a buttoned up road of study: classical voice, musical theater, jazz performance, bands and a degree from the Berklee College of Music, to end up here - stronger, stripped down, sincere. Her three EP releases unravel from highly produced pop projects, namely the edgy, sensual, "Vette" and the flirty, strong girl, dance-pop, "15 Minutes;" to the lush, organic, "Wonderlust," co-written and produced with Rob Giles. Revealed through this sonic trajectory is Vette's own unraveling of herself from tough and smart, to vulnerable and sincere. While not yet released, Vette's new project (and live performance) floats softly up and away but not without taking some earth with it. The songs are alternative yet melodic, lyric driven and craft oriented. Vette was recently interviewed for the "91.1FM: The Avenue" show, "Home Grown Spotlight." Commercially, both Vette and her song, "Making You Feel Like a Woman," were hired to appear in an episode of AOL's reality series "A Supermodel Stole My Husband." Her songs "15 Minutes" and "Take Me Away (with Markaholic) have appeared in CW's, "High Society" and the ABC sitcom, "Switched at Birth". She also sang on the ultra dance-pop demo, "Fighter," by Markaholic, which was selected by ABC for a "Dancing with the Stars" TV promo spot in September/October of 2010. Vette began singing in her home town, Oshkosh, Wi, where early on, she received the lead roles in her high school musicals and studied classical voice with Joyce Andrews. Later on as she ventured into jazz, she began to perform regularly with the "Jazz Orgy" and studied with jazz singer Janet Planet, Kitty Margolis and jazz pianist John Harmon. She spent over a year learning Portuguese and studying Brazilian jazz in Berkeley, CA, with former Airto and Leny Andrade keyboardist, Marcos Da Silva; and took songwriting classes with former Billy Idol keyboardist Bonnie Hayes at The Blue Bear School of Music in San Francisco. At Berklee she studied songwriting with author/educators Jimmy Kachulis and Pat Pattison.
The “VETTE” and “Wonderlust” EPs can be found on iTunes.com, Audible.com, Last.fm, Rhapsody.com, Amie Street, eMusic.com and all popular online music retailers.

ALBUM QUOTES:
"[In Wonderlust] The songs collectively project a calm confidence -- you can sense the country, the torch songs, the Cocteau Twins atmospherics, the distanced/distorted electronic production, and how it all comes together... The combination makes the music and performances very intriguingly timeless to my ears.” - Ned Raggett (All Music Guide, OC Weekly)

"Some records take you directly into an artist's personal space. They're delicate, edgy and unapologetic, simultaneously. Wonderlust is one of those records...The production serves each song perfectly and it's a great ride altogether." - Kathrin Shorr + Tim Burlingame of the musical duo, Sweet Talk Radio.
