I learned a lot from my recent interview with Vanessa Racci, the 38-year-old jazz and cabaret singer who nearly gave up her dream of becoming a performer because her traditional family wanted her to pursue a more “stable career.” She tried, but didn’t listen, and instead listened to her inner voice to perform.
Vanessa was influenced at a young age by legendary performers Dean Martin, Connie Francis, and Frank Sinatra when her Italian grandfather played their music around the house. And that’s when she got the bug to perform. But she held off for a while, working 9-5 in the corporate world, until one day she decides to hit the road, and she’s never looked back. This is the story of a young woman who wouldn’t give up on her dreams, and is now living her dream.
Here’s a clip from our show with Vanessa, and you’ll find our full interview on #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast and #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast on all video and audio platforms.
