BIOGRAPHY
Victoria Fuller's music is folk rock with jazz, blues, and pop overtones. Her voice is like a cross between Joni Mitchell and Ricky Lee Jones. She writes about love lost and found, overcoming struggles in relationships and life, and finding the good that's there, revealing personal anecdotes. Strong memorable melody lines lead you on a journey with some surprises and enough differentiation to keep your interest throughout, with some nice harmonies. In her CD, Small Moments, produced by Danny Shaffer, she is accompanied by such artists as Grammy winner Scott Bennett who tours and records with Beachboys legend Brian Wilson, and Jeff Jacobs, who has performed with Billy Joel and a touring member of Foreigner.
She was raised on a farm in Pennsylvania, near Allentown. As a child she excelled in art and music, climbing trees, and bugging her older brother and sister. She taught herself the guitar at age 13 and then began songwriting. Her father, a businessman and photographer, and her artistically inclined mother encouraged her to be creative and she was also inspired by her equally creative siblings. She studied art in college, and then moved to Colorado, where she performed her music and created art. In search for knowledge and adventure she traveled to China on a biking tour, to Africa on photo Safari, and on the Amazon on a house boat creating botanical illustrations, She has lived in Paris to study French, New York to immerse herself in the NY art scene, and in San Francisco to study at the San Francisco Art Institute.
She moved to Chicago in 1992 to get a degree in art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She gave up music for several years to concentrate on the visual arts but could not stay away forever, and began to pursue it once more. Now she is both a singer/songwriter and an accomplished sculptor / painter, Showing her work at the Chicago Cultural Center, at the Navy Pier large-scale outdoor sculpture show, and extensively throughout the United States.
