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.
