Victoria Vox Moves The Ukulele From The Fringe Bin to the Pop Bin

Victoria Vox began writing songs when she was 10, using the beats and sounds of her VT-400 Casio keyboard. Following her dreams, Vox graduated from The Berklee College of Music with honors and a degree in songwriting -- releasing a handful of DIY, guitar-driven albums before a friend gave her an ukulele.

Her debut ukulele album, Victoria Vox and Her Jumping Flea was released in 2006 on her own label, OBUS Music, and Vox was offered an endorsement deal with KoAloha Ukuleles (Honolulu, HI), while she was touring the Hawaiian Islands. The refreshing disc was well received, and featured on NPR, while songs were featured on television and in independent films. Vox has also been awarded runner-up for "My Darlin’ Beau" (Jumping Flea) and First Place for "C'est Noye" (from her 2008 album, Chameleon) in the International Acoustic Music Awards. Also, she has been included in Relix Magazine’s list of artists to watch.

Vox, who lives in Baltimore, MD now, has been averaging 125+ dates for the past several years, performing at a mixed bag of venues and festivals across the country, Europe, and Canada.  She continues to tour as an independent artist selling Victoria Vox goods (CDs, panties, Voxers, and her original songbook) from the trunk of her car and website. Not that Vox is the only current artist to slip in a little ukulele -- but, the singer-songwriter is dedicated to the tiny instrument, and maybe, just maybe helping make it cool again.
