Speaker Profile

One of Australia's most talented vocalists, Vanessa Amorosi's latest album is Hazardous; a Top Ten in the ARIA charts it was awarded Gold status in Australia and spawned the hit singles 'This Is Who I Am', 'Hazardous' and 'Mr Mysterious'. The double platinum 'This Is Who I Am' debuted at #1 and stayed there for two weeks, a feat not achieved since Kylie Minogue in 2007, and 'Mr Mysterious' debuting at #6 on the ARIA charts, climbed to #4 in its second week and achieved Gold status. Also in 2010, Vanessa toured Australia as a special guest to Rob Thomas, playing to over 300,000 people around the country.

There has also been the release of duet 'Each Tear' with Mary J Blige and confirmed releases in the UK and Europe. With eight ARIA Award nominations and one prestigious APRA Award under her belt, not to mention her most played record on Australian radio in 2008 ('Perfect'), as well as a collaboration with Hoobastank on 'The Letter', Amorosi is set to take the world by storm once again with her unmistakeable voice and devastating talent.

Vanessa reached almost unheard of success in 1998 when her debut single 'Have A Look' 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 her album The Power reaching #1 in Australia.

Vanessa has sold over 1.5 million records worldwide. Following this success, Vanessa enjoyed career highlights ranging from performing at the Sydney 2000 Olympics and the Manchester Commonwealth Games, to touring Europe with Joe Cocker, and receiving a vast collection of awards both within Australia and internationally.
