PLEASE, VOTE VANESSA MDEE FOR BEST FEMALE ARTIST EASTERN AFRICA @ AFRIMAWARDS

The pint-sized urban beat connoisseur had the opportunity to travel the world at a young age, growing up in New York, Paris, Nairobi and Arusha. Vanessa quickly became familiar with many different forms of creative and performing arts. Although she studied law at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa. Vanessa's fashion sense has made her the go-to girl at every MAMA ( MTV AFRICA MUSIC AWARD) hosting the red carpet to Africa's most stylish night out 3 years in a row. The self-confessed shoe addition is also known for her constantly changing hairstyles - with more transformations to her name than Cher!

Vanessa's great musical ear got her a gig on Tanzanian radio, and she became the host of 102.6 Choice FM's The Hitlist - a brand that Vanessa has made her own. Vanessa's eclectic sounds and love for RnB and Hip Hop with a hint of Pop is Dar es Salaam's portal to all things COOL! Along with her pan African weekly MTV show, Base Select 10 and daily radio gig, Vanessa still keeps at it: blogging as a roving reporter on behalf of MTV Staying Alive and UNAIDS on her Dynamites Mission website as part of her belief in a HIV free world. She was also MTV's voice at the 2011 UNAIDS Mali Youth Summit in Bamako and thereafter the High Level meeting in Cape Town, South Africa, The International Conference on HIV and STI's in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and the formation of a STANDWIDTH which she co-founded along with MK Asante under the UNAIDS umbrella.
