The first sign that Vanessa was destined for stardom? At the age of two, she banged out "It's A Small World" on the piano by ear! Then at the age of nine, she fell in love with ballet and went to School of American Ballet in New York City when she was 14. But lucky for us, her mom (her first music teacher) made her keep up her piano lessons. Now she's living the life of a music star, touring the world and signing autographs for fans. "I am the worst autograph signer in the history of the universe," she laughs. "I always want to write something special but I can't think of anything. When I finally do write something, it's really stupid and I spell something wrong. People are just like, 'Sign your name!'" Other star perks? Meeting other stars, like one of Vanessa's fave rockers, Bono of U2 - "He kissed my hand," she says. "I can die now."
