Rabbit Loves : Vanessa Carlton
1:28 AM
Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980) is an American pop singer, songwriter, and pianist best known for the single "A Thousand Miles" from her platinum-selling debut album Be Not Nobody (2002). Carlton's second album Harmonium (2004) was a commercial failure, which led her to part company from her record label A&M, though she still holds a dedicated fanbase. She currently resides in San Francisco with her producer-boyfriend Stephan Jenkins (lead singer of Third Eye Blind), and her third album is slated for a spring 2007 release on Irv Gotti's record label The Inc. When Vanessa was two years old she figured out "It's a Small World" on the piano and her musical life began. Her mother exposed her to a lot of classical composers and Vanessa wrote her first (instrumental only) song when she was eight years old. When she was nine when she fell in love with ballet. At thirteen went to New York to study with legendary dancers and teachers. A year later she was accepted to the School of American Ballet in New York City. She left home and moved to New York enrolling in the Professional Children's School and began her life as a ballet dancer. By the time her senior year approached she was feeling like this might not be the best career for her. She grew frustrated and isolated. So she turned back to her music. This time the songs that came out of her were intricate songs complete with lyrics. She would even skip dance class to play piano and it was a great comfort to her. After graduation she started playing locally. A year later she signed with Interscope, Geffen, A & M Records. She is now in the studio recording her debut album, "Be Not Nobody" which is due in early March. The single "A Thousand Miles" will be out February 12, 2002. She has also been accepted to Columbia University and has started dancing again. 2004 Vanessa Carlton - Harmonium 1. White Houses 2. Who's To Say 3. Annie 4. San Francisco 5. Afterglow 6.
