Vanesssa Conde

VANESSA CONDE, a soprano with 4 octaves, is an inspirational upcoming dance and classical vocal diva. Groomed and trained in the Fine Arts starting at Westminster Choir College, she retains an educated background in Classical Opera Vocal performance. Growing up a Dominican American in NYC’s Washington Heights, she also grew up and was influenced by a musical diet of Latin Hip-Hop/Freestyle/Dance and underground House Music. Currently she is redefining the perception of “Freestyle” dance artist; an artist who can sing more than one genre of musical styles. With a discography that spans back to her first self written radio hit “For You”, “Dance the Night Away”, “Let the Music Play” (Nowak SHAKE/Warner Italy) and her new release on Destune Records, “Falling Into Love”, she has graced the airwaves of Radio 1 London, XM, Sirius Satellite Radio and an armada of Internet radio stations. Wearing a belt that includes everything from Warner Brothers International distribution, appearances on Telemundo to sharing the stage with everyone from colleagues such as George Lamond, Amber, Pretty Poison, D’Luna/China Dolls, Martha Wash, Pepper Mashay, RuPaul, among other top 40 dance artist she plans to gig and tour with through 2009/2010; Vanessa keeps humble with a busy schedule. In June 2009, she was specifically selected by Capital Pride 2009 to open for RuPaul (VH-1 Drag Race) and for the legendary Martha Wash in Washington D.C. to a crowd of 500,000. She also headlined with Sabrina Johnston at the New York City Pride Pridefest Main Stage and opened for Evelyn Thomas (High Energy Queen) during the 2010 Music Conference in Miami. Gearing into 2010, as she tours and continues to serve as a voice for the dance music scene as well as a advocate for positivity for all people, her label DESTUNE Records will release new production and remixes of “Falling Into Love” as well as other Dance and Ballad releases from the coming album. In addition, productions and remixes by DJ Jorge Ojeda, Giangi Cappai/Alma Matris, Connie Casserole, Amy Alderman vs. Bryan Reyes, and other talents from the Neo Freestyle, Tribal/Circuit and Electro House scene. Praised by international DJ/Producer Johnny Vicious as “A GRAND VOICE”, Vanessa Conde is ready to raise and set new standards. She recently was a featured artist several times on the morning show, "Las Comadres con Gloria B" on Telemundo which has a viewership of millions in the New York City area and now the Dominican Republic and soon Puerto Rico. To young, plus size Latin American women everywhere, she is an example of following your dreams to fruition. --JON PITO, Destune Records Miami USA
