About
Born in Omagh ,Victoria is an accomplished vocalist and facilitator, who has been working professionally as a singer across Northern Ireland for over a decade. She has performed at multiple venues including Derry~Londonderry City of Culture Venue 2013 and Belfast’s Baby Grand at The Opera House. She released her eclectic debut album ‘Unfit the Picture’ in 2013, which included covers of Prince and Jacques Brel songs as well as her own original compositions. The 8-track album featured harpist Ursula Burns and was produced by Cormac O’Kane of RedBox Recordings, winning wide acclaim.
Victoria followed it up with 2020’s ‘Sophisticated Lady’, a straight-ahead vocal Jazz album recorded with some of the top musicians working in Ireland today. Both recordings showcase her diverse musical tastes and vocal versatility. Victoria says, ‘I sing songs: jazz, blues, folk, pop, original, electronic, classical, funk and anything else I feel moved to wrap my lungs around.’ Also a talented songwriter she explains that she is a singer ‘who writes songs without chords - I use the melodies in my head, the rhythm of the words and emotion they elicit to find where it goes.’
Victoria has performed twice before at FLive festivals to enthusiastic audiences, to packed houses at Derry Jazz Festival every year since 2010, and sold-out shows at both Out to Lunch & Cathedral Quarter Arts Festivals in Belfast in 2023 & 2024.
Currently working on a new album of original material supported by the Cultural Practitioner Award from DCSDC.
