Information About

Vanessa’s foray into the world of music and entertainment began when she was just 12.Together with her cousin and two other friends from the church choir, they entered and won the Girl Groups category on Rolling Good Times, a national talent show broadcast on free-to-air television in Singapore. Vanessa continued on with the now defunct space-rock outfit, Parking Lot Pimp, while completing a diploma in Mass Communication at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Fresh out of school in 2006, she was asked to join Mediacorp Radio’s 987fm, choosing the moniker by which she would become best known - Vandetta. For several years she helmed the morning drive time show while pushing local music forward through her acoustic live weekend show, 987Stripped. At the end of 2010, Vanessa left 987fm to return to her first love of music. She became part of audio-visual collective, Syndicate, performing with veteran hip-hop producer/DJ, Kiat, at the opening day of the infamous Gilles Peterson Worldwide Festival 2011 in Sete, France. In September that same year, she performed with veteran producer Jason Tan at the Singapore leg of the Worldwide Festival. The duo, known as Octover, released their self-titled album on the Syndicate imprint in January of 2013. Her goal is to balance supporting and growing the music scene in Singapore while continuously evolving as an artist and performer.
