Victoria Vox
Victoria Vox's infectious pop-folk-jazz style has earned her fans who truly appreciate her art. We count among them - first seeing her some time back at a show titled "Ukelele Noir". She caught our attention big time and we are excited to bring her to Simple Gifts' stage to do the same to you!
Victoria Vox (née Victoria Davitt) wrote her first song at 10 years old, inspired by the sounds coming out of the car radio on trips into town from the country home where she
grew up in rural Wisconsin. Vox taught herself to sing and play guitar, privately in her bedroom. At 17, she spent a year abroad in France, bought a guitar, and pursued to express herself through her songwriting.
Vox went on to study music songwriting in particular at the Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA) where she earned her degree in 2001.
In 2003, Vox was given a ukulele and she fell in love with it's limitations and simplicity. This lead to a more playful and melodic approach to her songwriting. As she continued to tour, ukulele-in-hand, the demand for a ukulele album grew. Vox recorded her debut uke album, "Victoria Vox and Her Jumping Flea", in 2005 and toured Hawaii just before it's official release in 2006. While in Hawaii, she landed an 'ukulele sponsorship with KoAloha Ukuleles, which became the the tipping point to her becoming a household name at Ukulele Festivals around the world.
Vox is an award winning songwriter including for songs she has written in French (Independent Music Awards, 6-time WAMMIE winner, International Acoustic Music
Awards, ADDYS, and has also donated songs to causes like the American Asbergers Association and the Duchenne Foundation. Her music has been used in indie films and
featured on NPR's "To the Best of Our Knowledge".
