Venus Leone is a certified linguist, she's fluent in seven languages and has degrees in sound engineering as well as economics and commerce. She is a songwriter and music producer, voice and voice-over artist. She's also an actress and model. Venus Leone was born in Rimini, Italy, the daughter of a black Brazilian wonder-woman and an Italian abacist.

Later she joined the pop/lock dance group "Colors". As a dancer, Venus performed for/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
