Victoria began
performing at the age of 5 with her sister and five other girls as "Southern Sisters", a non-profit singing
group that performs for children's hospitals, rehabs, retirement homes and various community fundraiser's. Her
sister Rebekah, Diana DeGarmo (American Idol R.U.), Heather Johnson, Hayley Perrault, Ansley Larisy, and Rachel Leming started
off at festivals. In their third year Heather was diagnosed with cancer. That year they began performing
for Eggleston and Scottish Rite Children's Hospital fundraisers as well as individuals' cancer fundraisers.
Over the next 17 years they performed at the World Congress Center in Atlanta, numerous festivals including The
Strawberry Festival, Lawrenceville Heritage Days, Yellow Daisy Festival, and Lilburn Days. The goal was to
set aside time when they were not competing against each other and to come together in a unified effort for the communities'
benefit. Today, 17 years later, Victoria and her sister continue to entertain at rehabs and festivals in TN, FL
and GA.
Her musical training: Piano 18 yrs; Voice 17 yrs.; Violin 4 yrs; French Horn 8 yrs; Percussion
(chimes, bells, gong, vibraphone) 2 yrs.
