Victoria George is a California native who grew up singing and performing in her community from a young age. It was only in college, however, among choosing a direction, that she picked up the acoustic guitar and began taking music seriously. "I was inundated by all these melodies and lyrics and I needed to get them out. I picked up the guitar out of shear frustration. No one that was accompanying me, and they usually were all guys, were playing what I wanted. So, I decided to do it by myself."
After graduating from the University of Virginia in 2004, Victoria has continued to do it all by herself. Assembling her five piece Northern California based band in May 2005 she has been playing extensively in California and beyond. Her career seems to be moving at the speed of light as she has quickly made herself know as one of the most rockin'up-and-coming artist in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Victoria has been hailed both for her beautiful voice and clever songwriting ability, invoking the unbridled range and tone of such artists as Joni Mitchell and Sheryl Crow as well as the story telling ability of Tom Petty. In recent press Victoria has been compared to Bonnie Raitt, who is a fan of Victoria's, as her lyrics and stage presence have a similar sort of brass and strength.
In May 2005 Victoria released her deput EP "Far as I'm Concerned" and is currently back in the studio working on her full length album.
