British/Colombian singer-songwriter Vanessa Forero has been composing since the age of nine. She has mainly written film/TV scores and songs for other artists, but since being selected by Brit award singer-songwriter Beth Orton to collaborate with and perform at her UK show, Forero decided to become her own artist and record her own songs. The songstress is also a bestselling author, having co-written the book on her mothers extraordinary life "The Girl With No Name", for which National Geographic made the feature documentary "Woman Raised By Monkeys", for which Forero scored some of the music. The sequel book is on its way. Forero’s next self-produced record 'Black Hills" is due out this summer.
