Victoria Robertson, Singer, Songwriter, Performer, 2-9-07
Victoria Robertson is that rare performer who is truly multitalented. With seven years of recording experience to her credit, Victoria is a creative artist by nature, continually looking for new musical territory to conquer. Her first full album of original compositions, On My Mind (2004), earned her an San Diego Music Awards nomination for “Best New Artist” in 2005 and a LA Music Awards nomination for “Best Record of the Year” in 2006.
Her second album, Celebrating America (2005), showcased her classical vocal abilities, covering well known patriotic songs. Embracing the world of recording technology, Victoria co-produced, with renowned engineer, Alan Sanderson (Rolling Stones, Weezer, Elton John), her most recent album of refreshing energetic original music, Say New You (2007).
The result of Victoria’s ambitious journey is a career that’s multifaceted. Originally from New Jersey and graduating from UC San Diego with a Visual Arts degree, Victoria immersed herself in the arts and music scene nationally and in her home-base, Southern California. Currently a Mezzo-Soprano singer for the San Diego Opera, Victoria made her first impact back in 1998. That year she entered and won the Miss San Diego Pageant which enhanced her modeling career, public speaking skills, and brought to light her talent as a vocalist.
Music being the strongest of all her passions, Victoria began to perform her original songs with a five-piece band. She took a great interest in the USO and performed for the troops in locations as varied as aircraft carriers and desert training grounds, and for distinguished personnel, such as the Governor of California. Because of her efforts, Victoria was awarded the title of Miss USO, San Diego. She continues to tour the world, performing before thousands in England, the Netherlands, Germany and Greenland, with much more on the horizon.
