American singer-songwriter and pianist Vanessa Lee Carlton has an estimated net worth of $12 million. Raised in Milford, a tiny town in eastern Pennsylvania, Vanessa Carlton took piano lessons from her mother and composed her first song as an eight-year-old. Several years later, she was accepted into the School of American Ballet in New York. Despite being one of the best dancers in her class, she became frustrated with the strictness of the discipline and began to look elsewhere for inspiration, eventually winding up at the piano located inside her Manhattan dorm. Carlton began writing songs again, reaching beyond the classical music of her youth to incorporate influences from pop artists like Tori Amos and Fiona Apple. When it came time to graduate, she halted her dancing career and enrolled at Columbia University instead, where she continued to work on her songwriting. Carlton spent a pair of years waiting tables in Lower Manhattan, living in Hell's Kitchen, and playing open-mike events before signing with A&M Records. She has released three studio albums to date, with a fourth set for a 2011 release and has had 5 Top-30 hits.
Vanessa Carlton was born on August 16, 1980, in Milford, Pennsylvania, United States. She is married to Deer Tick member John McCauley and gave birth to a bouncing baby girl on January 13, 2015.
