"A swirling voice coupled with an exhilarating guitar style, Vyktoria infiltrates your psyche."
(The Edge)

Vyktoria conveys the universal, the magical, and an ever-present sense of hope in her songs and is constantly driven to explore the deepest secrets within society and her. Blue Apples, This Guardian at Noon and Something About Driving give you a delicious taste of Vyktoria's unique poetic vision. They are truly beautiful and passionate gifts to us all.

Vyktoria is the honored recipient of three Wammies (Washington, D.C. Area Music Awards) and now splits her time between the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Sedona, Arizona and the UK. Other accolades include nominations for both a NAIRD Indie Award for "Adult Contemporary Album of the Year" and a NACA Award for "Coffeehouse Performer of the Year" in 1996.

She has performed in 46 US states and in the UK over the past ten years and has opened for many well-known artists such as Jethro Tull, Richard Thompson, Mary Chapin-Carpenter, Laura Nyro, Pierre Bensusan and Roger McGuinn. From 1991-1999, she averaged 200 concerts a year and logged 70,000 miles a year in her travels from coast-to-coast, playing venues such as The Birchmere, Passim, Iron Horse, Bluebird Cafe, Freight & Salvage, and Eddie's Attic. In late 1999, her 42 show opening tour for Jethro Tull brought her to the stages of the Greek Theater, House of Blues, Concord Pavilion and The Apollo Theater in Oxford, England just to name a few. Since the Tull tour, she has been concentrating more on recording and publishing while keeping a lighter tour schedule for now.

Vyktoria has been invited to showcase her unique talents at such prestigious events as SxSW, Kerrville Folk Festival (main stage, 1994 and 1995), 1996 Olympics, Mountain Stage (NPR), CMJ Music Marathon, Telluride Festival (songwriter contest), Riverbend Festival, Nashville Entertainment Extravaganza, Greenwich Village Folk Festival, NAMM Trade Show (for Taylor Guitars) and the Whole Life Expo. Her music has been featured on several compilation CDs, including "Dear Charlottesville" (with Dave Matthews Band), "Live at the Postcrypt" (with Dar Williams, Ellis Paul) and "Women of Kerrville" (from the 1995 Kerrville Folk Festival).

Vyktoria's music has been promoted to AAA, College, NPR, and Americana radio, and she has received airplay on hundreds of stations, including daily rotation on over 150 stations nationally.

Vyktoria cites Jethro Tull, Kate Bush, XTC, Genesis, The Beatles, Rush, Nick Drake, and Mike Oldfield as her favorite recording artists.
