After being discovered at 15 years old,Vanessa Amorosi achieved amazing success in 1998 with her debut single Have A Look. The single went Gold after only seven weeks in the ARIA charts. This achievement was followed by mega-hits in Australia and Europe with Absolutely Everybody, and Shine, and at the age of 18 years Vanessa became the first Australian female to reach #1 on the National ARIA chart with her debut album ‘The Power’. The album went to sell over 1 million copies across the world. Following this success, Vanessa performed at the opening & closing Sydney 2000 Olympic ceremonies, the Manchester Commonwealth Games and received a vast collection of awards both within Australia and Internationally. In January 2006, Vanessa relaunched her recording career by signing to Universal Music worldwide with new powerhouse manager, Ralph Carr. Deciding to record in Los Angeles “to get out of her comfort zone”, Vanessa wrote hundreds of songs with some of the greatest talents in the world. She recorded with songwriters and producers Ron Aniello (Barenaked Ladies) Greg Wells (Mika, Timbaland) and Cliff Magness (Pink, Avril Lavigne). In 2008 Vanessa released the album Somewhere in the Real World, through Universal Music Australia, on May 24 2008. The album tracks "Perfect" and "Start It" have both been used in promotions for the Seven Network. "Start It" is Channel 7's AFL song for 2008 and will be used again in 2009. Released digitally and in stores on May 24, 2008, Somewhere in the Real World was already sitting at Number 3 on the national iTunes chart within hours of its release and climbing to number 2 within the first 24 hours and finally hitting the number 1 spot on the charts after just 4 days of release. "Somewhere In The Real World" reached Gold sales in Australia. The single "Kiss Your Mama!" was serviced to radio on 3 August and released 8 September 2007. On a special edition of Australian Idol she sang her hit song "Kiss Your Mama!". Amorosi released her second single "Perfect" digitally on 5 April and physically on 26 April 2008. The single made it to number 1 on the digital iTunes charts on the 7th of June 2008. "Perfect" reached Platinum sales in Australia and was the most played Australian song on Australian radio for 2008. "Perfect" is nominated for the 2009 APRA awards for 'Most Played Australian Work'. The song "The Simple Things (Something Emotional)" was released as the third single on 20 September 2008. In December 2008, a video for the song "My House" was released onto her website. US rockers Hoobastank have enlisted Vanessa Amorosi to feature on their new single “The Letter”, which was mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Simple Plan, My Chemical Romance). The video which features Vanessa, was shot in Los Angles at Lacy Street Studio with Grammy nominated director Paul Brown (Jack White/Alicia Keyes). Both the video and single is serviced to Australian media on Monday May 4. Vanessa Amorosi is currently in LA writing and recording her new album
