Consuelo shied away from the world of debutante balls to carve her own path through her ventures in music and business, and has been featured in Vogue, Town &amp; Country, 25A, Prestige, Paper and Raine Magazine for her many accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p>As a successful musician, Consuelo has performed around the world and shared stages with such music luminaries as Vanessa Carlton, Mya and Joe Cocker. She landed her first record deal at the age of 21, and later, founded her own record label C&amp;R Productions in 2010. Shortly thereafter, her first four singles landed her in the Top 20 on the Billboard Dance Charts. Her debut single \u201cNaked\u201d spent 16 weeks on the charts, while her follow-up \u201cFeel So Alive\u201d earned her Billboard\u2019s #2 Breakout Artist honor. In 2014, her hit, \u201cBody Needs,\u201d broke Billboard\u2019s Top 5, and the following year, Consuelo\u2019s highly anticipated pop dance album I&#8217;m Just Me dropped in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as well as the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Consuelo is well known in the fashion industry, and in 2015, teamed up with powerhouse network HSN to launch Homage by Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin. The pearl jewelry collection was inspired by an engagement ring she inherited from her great grandmother, Consuelo Vanderbilt Earl, which is thought to have once belonged to Consuelo, the Duchess of Marlborough.<\/p>\n<p>As no stranger to entrepreneurship, Consuelo is preparing to launch SohoMuse.com. The invitation only website is a professional network for the creative industries, and aims to become the trusted source for the global creative community. As a creative herself, the site has been developed by creatives for the creative community.<\/p>\n<p>Very dear to Consuelo\u2019s heart is the memory of her beloved mother, whom she honors by working with a variety of Ovarian Cancer organizations. She also sits on the committee for the Gabriel\u2019s Foundation, serves as the philanthropic ambassador for Mercedes-Benz perfume and chaired the American Heart Association in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist, Designer &amp; Entrepreneur<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":14,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-206167","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/entrepreneur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/206167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/entrepreneur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/entrepreneur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/entrepreneur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/entrepreneur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206167"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/entrepreneur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/206167\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":206223,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/entrepreneur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/206167\/revisions\/206223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/entrepreneur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
