Vette's hypnotic voice has traveled a buttoned up road of study: classical training, musical theater, jazz performance, bands and a degree from the Berklee College of Music, to end up here - stronger, stripped down, sincere. Her songs are alternative, melodic, lyric driven and craft oriented. 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 of "The Rescues." Revealed through this sonic trajectory is Vette's own unraveling of herself from tough and smart, to vulnerable and sincere.
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 has been a guest on Montana Public Radio's "Live From the Divide," a radio show dedicated to "the American songwriter." Vette 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 and she has also been interviewed for the "91.1FM: The Avenue" show, "Home Grown Spotlight" and has been interviewed and performed her songs on LA-18's "Mid Day Buzz."
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.
