Venus Leone approaches entertainment as a renaissance woman. A polyglot sound engineer trained in classical ballet, Venus holds roles both on and off the spotlight. Using her unique background in both production and performance, she is confident wearing many hats, including acting, dancing, and songwriting. Born in Rimini, Italy, Venus Leone is the daughter of a Brazilian wonder-woman and an Italian business man. Her world of art began young, beginning classical ballet at four years old. As with so many left-handed people, Venus developed a strong passion for the Arts. Moving to Switzerland with her family at the age of eight, she pursued her dreams through study, and became fluent in German, French, English and Swiss-German on top of her native Italian language and mother's Portuguese. Venus took her first steps into a recording studio at 16 to record a cover of "Back to Life" for the HipHop Group LU Squad. Following college, she founded her own dance crew "The Groove Scientists," soon catching the attention of the "Vanity Dancers," an all-female dance crew in Zurich, and toured with the DJ crew Homeboys at Work through Europe as a dancer and emcee. Venus later joined the pop/lock dance group "Colors," and performed with big names like JayZ, DJ Tony Touch aka Toni Toca, Memphis Bleek, The Electric Boogaloos and many more. On a trip to G Cookin' Recording Studios in Chur to record a song featuring a Swiss artist, Venus met the producer Lou Geniuz aka Lou Zarra, who later produced her EP "Evol" and featured Venus -- at the time still under the artist name KellytheVenus -- on his album, festivals and club performances around Switzerland. She became known as one of few English rapping female emcees. Today, Venus is a seasoned professional of the entertainment industry, appearing in music videos and shows with Snoop Dogg, Lil' Wayne, Mac 10, Rick Ross, Ray Jay, Kilo, Jameel Saleem and many more. While going to school to study sound engineering at the Los Angeles Film and Recording School, Venus saw a dream come true, when "Most Wanted," her first role as a lead actress, premiered at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood a day after her birthday. After graduating as Valedictorian, Venus has dedicated most of her time to film sound and music production, receiving IMDB credit for both acting and film sound. Now an up and coming music producer and actress living in the mecca of the entertainment industry, Venus is the owner and founder of Goddess Image Entertainment and Network, VKSwizz Productions, as well as growing her own publishing company.
