Drop Your Talent

So much more than just you’re beautiful, cookie-cutter pop star, Nicollette Varanelli is the much needed answer to the teen pop industry’s void that has been present for so long. Raised in Dobbs Ferry, New York, 18 year old Nicollette has been singing and modeling for over 10 years. At age 14 she was part of a girl pilot band funded by Universal Records. More recently, she has entertained thousands by singing her original music live on NYC’s cablevision, the National Anthem at Shea Stadium, Madison Square Garden, and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Currently, Nicollette is working with vocal coach Don Lawrence in an effort to expand her vocal range. She’s also been working with several platinum winning producers creating new music that will hopefully initiate her signing to a major record label. If there’s one thing Nicollette knows, it’s that molding herself into a pop star is not just about sharpening her sound. Becoming a pop star entails perfecting the entire package. More often than not young entertainers don’t fathom the idea of being a role model to their fans. Nicollette is a rarity in that respect. Her recent decision to contribute nearly all of her most current album’s proceeds to St. Judes Hospital in Memphis is telling of this, and she hopes to continue to be a positive role model for young women. Though she hasn’t quite made it to the forefront of the industry just yet, Nicollette has managed to reach thousands through www.myspace.com/nicollettesings, and www.youtube.com/nicollettesings with the accumulation of nearly 75,000 friends, it’s evident that a fan base does in fact exist. Yet fans aren’t the only ones seeking out Ms. Varanelli. In recent months she’s been approached by several major music labels, television and film producers. Nicollette will be representing the Marilyn Monroe clothing line available in upscale clothing stores in the Spring of 09 with Amiat..
