Victoria Vox


  
Victoria Vox has taken the artful sound of the ukulele into eclectic new directions. Her music ranges from upbeat and clever to honest and moving, while incorporating her signature “mouth trumpet” and occasionally singing in French. Her whimsical songwriting uses a unique palette of sounds and beats that delight audiences of all ages.

Vox earned a degree in songwriting from the Berklee College of Music. Since introducing the ukulele to her songwriting in 2003, Vox never thought twice about the 4-stringed underdog. She has become known among the ukulele community for her refreshingly modern and playful ukulele technique and songwriting. Since 2006 she has been a highlight at ukulele festivals around the world, where she both performs and gives workshops to ukulele enthusiasts.

Her songs have been featured on NPR, television and in independent films. Vox is also multi-award winning songwriter. At the International Acoustic Music Awards she received First Place for her French tune, "C'est Noyé" and Runner up for the 40's-esque "My Darlin' Beau".

She has won six Wammies (Washington Area Music Awards): Contemporary Folk Vocalist ('09, '11 & '12), Album of the Year ('10 & '11), and Fan Favorite ('10), as well as the "Vox Pop" Award for her album Exact Change at the 10th Annual Independent Music Awards. She has been included in Relix Magazine and Washington D.C.'s City's Best lists of artists to watch. Also, Vox appeared on the Jay Leno Show to demonstrate her perfected mouth trumpet!

Originally from Green Bay, WI, she now lives in Baltimore, MD.
