Spike: Vanellope , Thank you for accepting the offer to be Musician of the Month for July 2022 at Dropping The Stream (DTS). You know who I am, mostly as the owner of The WoolShed, where we are truly grateful to have you singing bi-weekly and the occasional fill, smiles. Me personally, I believe you have a beautiful voice and a very talented musician here in SL and love to hear you sing. You are also growing your fan-base and becoming a musician in demand.  So, let me get on with the questions, and again, thank you, smiles

​

 Vanellope, tell us a bit about yourself, who is Vanellope, where you grew up and when you began singing?

 

Vanellope:  Vanellope is a sweet and simple girl. It is my joy to make people happy and always positive in life coz I do believe that if you want to change the world it will start on how you treat and care for other people even by just small gestures like smiling will make someone feel lighter and the smile is contagious.

 

I'm naturally born Filipina, I was born at Parang Maguindanao but I grew up in Davao City. this is where I lived most of my life. I started singing at a very young age and joined a singing contest at 12 yrs old. I won the solo contest singing One Moment In Time made famous by Whitney Houston who was the first music artist I admired. During my school years I participated in events and sang there many times. Through my teenage years I was enlightened at a very young age. Thats where I found and became active in the church for many years where I was given the task as Music Coordinator. This is where I was molded and trained in music for years. During National Youth Camp I have participated in music competitions as well and won the Solo Singing Contest with a winning piece written and composed by my mentor.
