VV Brown

VV Brown (born Vanessa Brown) is a singer, songwriter, author, fashionista and entrepreneur.

She first rose to global fame with her debut album ‘Travelling Like the Light’ which went on to sell over a million copies and earn her a nomination for the BBC’s Sound award alongside Lady Gaga. More recent albums, whilst different in tone, have still been well received, and she continued to be named by publications including The Independent and The Los Angeles Times as their artist to watch. She has toured the world and performed with the likes of Annie Lennox, Kate Nash, N-Dubz, Paloma Faith and The Script.

Thanks to a collaboration with producer Dave Okumu, V V has DJed across the globe for fashion weeks and fashion companies including Diesel, Fashion Rocks, Cartier and Clare Accessories, as well as for companies such as Vogue and club openings across the US.

As well as her music fame, V V has expanded into writing children’s books, songwriting for the likes of The Pussycat Dolls and the Sugababes, and running her own business.

She is passionate about serious subjects including race, identity and female empowerment, and is a popular choice as an after-dinner speaker on these topics and more.
