You think you know ; but you have No Idea ♥

For Viktorya, there was absolutely no running, hiding, or escaping from music. Born in the U.S.S.R., into a family with endless musical abilities, music was not only in Viktorya's nature, but music was in her blood. Growing up in a household where her father was in a band, every room was brought to life by music. The devastating earthquake took everything away from her family, including her father's band & instruments. But it didn't take away one thing : Viktorya's passion for music.
Coming to the U.S. at a tender age of 3, Viktorya began her journey. From dance classes, acting classes, & singing anywhere she can. But it wasn't until her first time on stage that she knew that being a performer was her destiny. Viktorya was in the 2nd grade, trying out for her elementary school talent show. Viktorya and 2 other classmates sang "the boy is mine" by monica & brandy. The reserved, quiet Viktorya turned into an "in your face", "dont doubt me", "im the bomb!" Viktorya. The rush of being on stage was all it took for her to go home & say "mommy, THIS is what i wanna do!"
From backyard performances with her neighborhood friends, to performances & shows put on by Synthesis Dance Studio,Gary's Dance Studio,& millenium, Viktorya couldn't get enough of performing. Singing in "A Christmas Carol" show & singing other people's music in shows really fueled Viktorya's fire to become an internationally known singer/dancer/performer.
Still, no one took her seriously when it came to singing. She had talent, but nobody took interest in polishing that talent. And Viktorya's dancing was catching everyones attention so much that dancing came first. She always did plays and went to millions of auditions and experienced a lot of the ups & downs of the entertainment industry at a young age. It wasn't until Viktorya continuously interrupted dance classes with Shane Sparks (who she's been dancing with since she was 9) by singing every song they were dancing to! Shane noticed it & brought it to Viktorya's Mom's attention to focus on her singing.
After 8th grade, Viktorya got homeschooled, studied singing with Romeo Johnson (who has worked with talents such as Michael jackson, Janet Jackson, and many many more), and got her foot in the door with many singing opportunities. After a falling out with Nuthouse Records at the age of 16, Viktorya went back to high school and graduated a year ahead of her peers. She joined dance team her 1st and last year of high school and helped the team bring home competition placings that most schools dream of!
After she graduated in 2005, Viktorya decided to get back to her love, music. It wasn't long before she linked up with artist, songwriter, & performer M.I.K.O. from SleepLess Entertainment. Shortly after, she became the Princess Of SleepLess Entertainment.
Now, on her own, the sky's the limit for Viktorya. She spends a lot of her time singing, dancing, choreographing, & writing. Only time will tell where all her hard work & passion will lead her on her journey.
