In just a few short years, nineteen-year-old Holly Valance has become a household name and sex symbol both in Australia and abroad. Known for her work in the long running soapie "Neighbours", playing the popular character Felicity (Flick) Scully, Holly recently launched her career as a solo popstar, with a big bang!
Before landing her break in "Neighbours", Holly regularly dabbled in modelling (including catwalk parades & catalogue work) and appeared in many commercials for clients including Just Jeans and Wave Milkshake. An established model, she has graced the covers of many popular magazines worldwide.
Although she has enjoyed success in the past few years with her modelling and TV work, music has always remained Holly's first passion, since beginning singing at the age of fourteen.
And now the gal is living out her musical aspirations becoming Australia's latest pop princess. Two years ago, Holly signed with production house EngineRoom with the ambition to move from acting to music over time. Now that her stint on "Neighbours" has ended, Holly has relocated to the UK to focus solely on her singing career.
Her first single release "Kiss Kiss" debuted in the Number One spot in both the UK and Australia amidst incredible hype and along with a saucy video clip. It seems that Holly has successfully shed the girl-next-door look in favour of a much sexier image. Not one to shy away from the cameras, Holly has posed a number of times for many sexy photo spreads in FHM magazine.
With another great single on the way titled "Down Boy", Holly is set to burn up the charts again. Add that to another sizzling video clip and she is sure to whip everyone into a frenzy!
Working with a number of fantastic overseas songwriters and producers on her debut album, expect some great things from Australia's newest pop sensation.
