She is of Scandinavian descent on her father's side, and of Russian Jewish descent on her mother's. Although she was not raised in any religion, she has referred to herself as "Jewish" and said she was "spiritual". She began playing the piano as a toddler, and received tutoring from her mother. After returning from Disneyland at the age of two, Carlton played "It's a Small World" on the piano. This event inspired Carlton's mother to expose Carlton to various classical composers such as Mozart and Erik Satie. She attended the School of American Ballet in New York City beginning at age fourteen. The stress and rigid training of the ballet lessons proved too much for her, and as the School of American Ballet is a finishing school for ballet, classes became too difficult once Vanessa started going through unexpected growth spurts. She chose not to become a dancer on graduation. She attended Columbia University and performed in bars and clubs all over Manhattan. Carlton met Peter Zizzo at a singer-songwriter circle and a few months later, Zizzo invited Carlton to his studio to begin recording a demo with instruments accompanying Carlton's piano and vocals. Three months after recording the demo tape, Carlton was signed onto Interscope Records, where she began recording the album Rinse with Zizzo. Rinse was never released, but some of its twelve tracks were reworked for her debut album, Be Not Nobody, such as "Ordinary Day", "Rinse", "Pretty Baby", "Twilight", "Interlude" (later entitled "A Thousand Miles"). Others remain unreleased in any form, except for internet bootlegs (which exist for at least seven of the twelve tracks), such as "All I Ask" and "Superhero". One song, "Carnival", was re-recorded under the title "Dark Carnival" for the 2003 Sony PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, Microsoft Xbox and PC game Spy Hunter 2.
