I guess most fashion models seek acting careers, but there are some (Sky Ferreira, Kemp Muhl, Cat Power come to mind) who have succesfully started off careers as songwriters and musicians. Carmen Maria Hillestad changed her name to Carmen Villain and produced an amazingly great album, Sleeper - and I hope there's more to come. The music is dreamy, dark, ethereal and challenging - I first heard her on the avantgarde music magazine The Wire's Tapper CD (a regular free CD with samples from new musicans, composers and bands). Allmusic.com describes her music as "an eclectic array of influences ranging from Sun City Girls and Sonic Youth to Broadcast and This Heat."
