Vanessa Joy Amorosi is an Australian singer and recording artist, to date she has sold over 1.6 million albums.

Amorosi was born in Melbourne, Australia. Amorosi was discovered performing at Matrioshka, a Russian restaurant in Carnegie, by Jack Strom and signed a recording contract in 1997. After being signed to MarJac Productions (co-owned by managers Mark Holden and Jack Strom) and recording a promo CD titled “Get Here”, she secured a deal with Transistor Music Australia. Amorosi also spent a short period training with the army.

Amorosi is known for her versatile vocal ability. She is able to vocally cover many genres of music including, pop, rock, blues, jazz, and gospel. Amorosi is also known for her vocal range. Amorosi’s vocal range reaches Soprano C#6 in what is perceived to be full chest voice. Amorosi’s ability to connect chest voice and head voice is one of her trademark talents. Amorosi’s effortless approach to singing in her upper registry is what helped her become well known in both Australia and Germany. She has also been noted for her ability to sing in the whistle registry as well, hitting notes above E6. Amorosi’s most powerful vocals can be heard in her song from her 2008 album, Somewhere in the Real World entitled “Start It”. In the song “Start It”, she can be heard belting two A5’s and two B5’s in mixed/chest voice and an E6 in the whistle registry. Also in the song “I Am Woman”, performed at the ARIA Hall of Fame tribute for Helen Reddy in 2006, Amorosi can be heard belting a sustained C6.

    @cbecrad: she's not well known in Europe, at least not in The Netherlands. I also discoverd her by accident ;D

    I just listened to her Change album. Had never heard of her before. WOW! What a voice! And I liked every song. How come she's not more popular? Maybe just in Australia and Europe? I'm going to get the rest of her stuff for sure.
