An international recording artiste, an international TV star, winner of numerous awards from ‘Woman of the Year’ (GQ) to Best New Artist (Japanese Music Industry Awards) and a pin-up for millions, Holly Valance has certainly made her mark since winning an audition for a role in ‘Neighbours’ at the tender age of 15.
 
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, commercials, 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.
