Holly Valance
Biography
Unusually, Australian singer Holly Valance's first single "Kiss Kiss" was released in the UK prior to its release at home, in the knowledge that the record would make a sizeable impression in the bigger market. Valance was already well-known in the UK for her appearances in the popular teen-oriented strip TV soap opera, Neighbours. A decade earlier the Australian-produced program had also launched the international careers of Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. In fact Kylie Minogue was a childhood idol.
Born Holly Vukadinovic her family originateed from Yugoslavia but she was born on May 11, 1983 in New Zealand. The family then moved to Australia and Valance was just four years old when Minogue and Donovan, who were a couple on and off the small screen, were regular shoppers at Holly's father's trendy imported European clothes store in Melbourne. Her father would make Holly come out and say hello whenever they were in the store, but she was too shy to actually speak to them. They did have an impact on her however. Holly started dancing and putting on shows at home for her family, and as Holly's stunning 34-26-34 figure began to develop, modelling work started flooding in.
