Hi! I'm Vanessa, a DC-area jazz vocalist. I've been singing jazz standards since high school, when I began performing with big bands in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. For the past seven years, I've performed throughout the DC area with my small jazz ensemble, Vanessa Ralls and The Berries. I've also spent the past decade performing as Marilyn Monroe and Peggy Lee in, Dean Lives: The Dean Martin Story. I studied musical theatre in college and have been involved in theatrical performance for as long as I can remember. In addition to my performance experience, I have several years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. I love encouraging creativity, imagination, and self-expression, and believe learning should be an engaging and enjoyable experience. I strive to create a welcoming environment where children feel comfortable exploring new interests, discovering their talents, and building confidence. When I'm not performing or working on creative projects, I'm enjoying life as a mom and finding inspiration in music, theatre, art, and everyday life.
