Vanessa Brown, aka VV Brown, began her career as a singer, songwriter, performer, multi-instrumentalist and producer singing backing vocals for Madonna and the Pussy Cat Dolls.

With her amazing last single, Crying Blood, dubbed as the end-of-year hit for 2008, we are super excited about her new single LEAVE!, due out in March.

We’ll be catching up wth her tonight at the Roundhouse for the BRITs Nominations Launch Party, and we have no doubt that her retro-soul music will become massive in 2009.
