Holly Rachel Valance was
born on 11th
May 1983 in
Melbourne, to parents Rachel and Ryko.
Holly's mother is from
Southampton,
England and her father hails from Yugoslavia. Both her parents were
fashion models and her father is a pianist and guitarist. Her parents
live in Melbourne with Holly's two younger
sisters,
Coco Melody, and
Olympia Montana. Holly has a
home in the
lively Melbourne suburb of Brighton, but is currently living in
London, England. In her
early teens Holly did modelling for
catwalk shows, commericals, editorial and catalogues. After leaving school
she started a three year contract on
popular Australian
soap Neighbours, and her popularity soared as feisty
Felicity Scully.
She left Neighbours in
August 2002 to
further pursue her
pop career, that awarded her with a #1
hit with her debut single in the
UK and Australia - '
Kiss Kiss' in May 2002. Not only has Holly been a talented singer since her childhood
days, but she's proved to be a acomplished dancer, and has even penned some
tracks on her album -
Footprints. When Holly isn't
busy she likes to swim,
go for walks and even
watch kickboxing after previously practising Muay Tai. Holly enjoys visits to clubs,
bars and restaurants, but confesses that she much prefers a quiet night in with
one of her favourite meals - antipasto, Greek and Lebanese food, or
rocket and parmesan salad.
