About Me

Vocally trained by Venetta Fields, Vikki Grant has wooed crowds from Bundaberg to northern NSW. Performing regularly since 2003 with a stompbox, djembe, acoustic guitar and her unique voice, Vikki takes her audience on a musical journey through a diverse range of covers and originals.

Having being compared vocally to Tracy Chapman, Grant's passion and enthusiasm has also inspired her to initiate ‘Platform'. An event which endeavours to assist fellow female performers to have their music heard amongst a male dominated industry. “Women needed a space in which their music could be delivered to an audience that appreciated their talent, where they felt safe and confident enough to stand up and be heard” said Grant.

Music is a passion that burns beneath my skin and is more powerful than anything I've ever experienced. It is my life.
