On closer inspection, one learns that she has been writing and producing songs for nearly 15 years. While her main profession is teaching private music lessons for her business Blue Jade Studios, Littrell is also skilled in graphic design, marketing and producing shows.
Vanessa Littrell has written, produced and executed the graphic design on both her albums. Her debut album "Broken Glass" first released in 1993, harkens back to the days of Joni Mitchell and John Denver. Simple guitar paired with poignant lyrics, Littrell's style is easy and memorable.
"Relinquish" the newest addition to Littrell's discography has a sweetness to it that can only be found in contemporary bands such as Clannad and Sarah McClachlan.
