Let's make this birthday one to remember.

33 years old (Born on October 29, 1991)

Happy Birthday, Veronica Ballestrini! From strumming chords that won over Sennheiser’s 2011 songwriting contest to being showcased in Marie Claire as one of the six rising artists we simply had to keep an eye on—you've clearly been hitting all the right notes. Still wondering how you manage to fit such giant accomplishments into your tiny suitcase?

Here's hoping your next year is filled with even greater hits, memorable melodies, and fewer moments hunting for guitar picks hiding beneath couch cushions. Keep shining bright; fans everywhere eagerly await your encore performance (but seriously—don’t lose those picks!).

Cheers!
