So much more than just you’re beautiful, cookie-cutter pop star, Nicollette Varanelli is the much needed answer to the teen pop industry’s void that has been present for so long.

More recently, she has entertained thousands by singing her original music live with her band on NYC’s Cablevision, the National Anthem at Shea Stadium, Madison Square Garden, and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Currently, Nicollette is working with vocal coach Don Lawrence (Mic Jagger,Whitney Houston). . She’s also been working with several platinum winning producers creating new music that will initiate her signing to a major record label in the weeks to come.  If there’s one thing Nicollette knows, it’s that molding herself into a pop star is not just about sharpening her sound.
