Letterbox was Vic's Sydney band in 2003- 2005. Since then she has pursued a solo career as a singer songwriter playing her new 12 string Martin guitar. Vic is currently working on her first album.
"I'm from rural Qld - but don't tell anyone. I've lived most of my adult life in NSW so I feel like I've almost wrung the pineapples out of my hair now. I've been a professional environmental activist (yes, I've stood in front of bulldozers, and on one occasion, an army tank and lines of armed police officers). I've been a National Park's guide and educator and have worked with Aboriginal groups, I've had my own Theatre Company, and countless rock/folk/idiotic bands. I've been a high school teacher, a marketing manager, a project manager, IT specialist....and now.... I'm trying to make a go of a life in music full-time... Lot's of people do - whynot me?! Well, in the mean time I'm broke and spend a lot of time doing Letterbox Music set up."
