Update #6: 1 hour to go!
WOW. You guys are awesome. Similarly to the album support campaign for my 2010 album, Exact Change, you blew me out of the water. It's so wonderful to see some repeat backers on projects. You have no idea how good that makes me feel... and that I'm doing something worthwhile. Song #1 ("Kick it Back") is written and mostly recorded. Might be adding some key bass on it later tonight. The recording process is the fun part. The writing... well... let's just say my first few hours of sitting down with this one were peachy ;) But like in anything in life... Don't Give Up. BACKERS: you'll be getting your first song tomorrow!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Cool. Just in time for my birthday Saturday. Saw you most recently at the Holiday Music Motel a couple weeks ago. Awesome as always. This new project is going to make the last covers project seem like a cakewalk. See you at SteelBridge Music Festival.

Update #5: songwriting 101
Songwriting Tips by Victoria Vox:
1) Do not bang your head against a wall to get the idea out. It doesn't work... and it doesn't help. Trust me.
2) Do not wait for the idea to magically come. Try saying a bunch of stupid ideas and eventually, you'll get to something smarter.
3) Do not lay down on the bed while writing a lullaby. It might put you to sleep... and then, well, you're not getting anywhere.
4) Make more coffee.
:) I'm 1/2 way done with Song #1. Exciting!!! Thank you all for making this happen!! Rock on.

Eclectic, upbeat and clever, Victoria Vox, has been warming the hearts of her audience across the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. Her songs are honest, moving, but also light-hearted. Vox earned a degree in songwriting from the Berklee College of Music and has become known among the ukulele community for her refreshingly modern and rhythmic ukulele technique. Since 2006, Vox has been a highlight at ukulele festivals around the world, where she both performs and gives workshops to the budding ukulele player. Her songs have been featured on NPR, television and in independent films. In 2009, Vox auditioned and was invited to be an Artist in Residence (AIR) at the Strathmore Performing Arts Center in Bethesda, MD, where she performed, gave a songwriting workshop, and was able to attend career meeting with other AIRs. Vox is also multi-award winning songwriter. She received First Place for her french tune, “C’est Noyé” and Runner up for the 40's-esque "My Darlin' Beau" in the International Acoustic Music Awards. Vox has won several WAMA awards (Washington Area Music Awards): Contemporary Folk Vocalist, Album of the Year, and Fan Favorite, as well as the "Vox Pop" (people's choice) Award for Adult Contemporary Album of the Year with her album, Exact Change, in 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, Vox now lives in Baltimore, MD and performs 125+ shows a year.
