How To Book VANESSA WILLIAMS For Your Event!

Vanessa Williams may be available for your next special event!

What fields could possibly be left for Vanessa Williams to conquer? The international superstar has had two #1 singles ("Save the Best for Last," "Love Is"), gold, multi-platinum and platinum albums her first three times out totaling more than four million in sales ('88's "The Right Stuff," '91's "The Comfort Zone" and '95's "The Sweetest Days"), an Oscar-winning song ("Colors of the Wind" from Disney's Pocahontas) and performed critically praised roles on Broadway ("Kiss of the Spider Woman") and motion pictures (starring opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in the hit summer movie "Eraser," where she also sang the film's theme song, "Where Do We Go From Here").

With nine Grammy nominations and two NAACP Image Awards to her credit, Vanessa Williams sang the National Anthem at Super Bowl XXX before an estimated 138.1 million people in 170 countries around the world last January, then performed "Colors of the Wind" on the global Oscar telecast.

Vanessa Lynn Williams was born to Milton and Helen Williams, both of whom held advanced degrees in music. They were responsible for introducing her to piano and the French horn. However, it was her beautiful and silky voice that came naturally to her. Her voice would become so much her love that she would continue to pursue singing through college at Syracuse University as a Theater Arts major.

As Vanessa's beauty and graciousness matured she began doing beauty pageants. Soon, she was crowned Miss New York. She would then go on to represent New York in the Miss America pageant. She became the first African American to ever win the Miss America crown. Toward the end of her reign, her past actions came back to haunt her. She had posed for Penthouse Magazine in her pre-Miss America days and the magazine was threatening to reveal the pictures. So, she resigned as Miss America.

A year later Vanessa did backup vocals on George Clinton's "Hey Good Looking" and "Do Fries Go with That Shake?". These got the attention of Wing/Mercury Record executives, who signed Vanessa to her own recording contract.

In 1988 Vanessa's debut album "The Right Stuff" was released. It won her a new image – a more playful, funky and sexy Vanessa Williams. Her single "Dreaming" hit #1 in the charts.

• Dreamin'
• Love Is

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE VANESSA WILLIAMS?
(i.e., what is the fee of VANESSA WILLIAMS for an event?)
(i.e., what is VANESSA WILLIAMS charging to perform at an event?)

Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.

As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as the artist becomes more popular, or decrease when becoming less popular.

Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at anytime. Generally, the artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
