Description: Vanessa Anneliese Petruo (born October 23, 1979 in Berlin), also known as Vany, is a German singer, songwriter, musician and film, television and voice actress. She debuted in 2000 as a member of the all-female pop band No Angels who enjoyed a great deal of success throughout Central Europe in the early 2000s, following their record-breaking debut single "Daylight in Your Eyes" and the album Elle'ments (2001).

She debuted in 2000 as a member of the all-female pop band No Angels who enjoyed a great deal of success throughout Central Europe in the early 2000s, following their record-breaking debut single "Daylight in Your Eyes" and the album Elle'ments (2001). Originally a quintet, the group eventually became a quartet, selling more than five million singles and albums until 2003, — the same year the group announced their official disbandment due to "exhaustion" and in favour of individual solo careers.

After the release of moderately successful solo song "Drama Queen", Petruo took much more control over her image and music following a short hiatus from public, and she introduced elements of blues, funk and jazz into her solo debut Mama Lilla Would, a critically-acclaimed commercial failure. Her musical interactons ambitions have since mainly focused on her training as a jazz singer and several new compositions, widely published through her own MySpace.

While maintaining a recording career Petruo has also gained fame for both her work as voice actress and starring in several film and television productions, including RTL series Wilde Engel (2005) and a supporting role in the 2006 film Wo Ist Fred?.

Petruo is the eldest of three siblings born to a German father, Thomas Petruo, and a Spanish-Peruvian mother, Mercedes. She was raised in Berlin next to her brother Jan-Alexander and her sister Priszilla. Due to her father's work as a professional voice actor, Vanessa started dubbing movies at the age of seven. Her grandfather, the late Heinz Petruo, was a famous radio show host for RIAS and a voice actor, too. At age twelve, Vanessa was told to have a beautiful voice so she started taking vocal lessons. In her teenage years she made several appearances on German television, while gaining experience in music with own bands and first professional song recordings. After her high school graduation Vanessa applied herself to study communication studies but due to a quick lack of interest left university and made internships at both MTV Germany and news channel N24. ...
