Victoria Port

Victoria is a British singer/songwriter that’s previously released two albums as half of electronic soul outfit Anushka (on Brownswood and Tru Thoughts respectively).Now Victoria is finally making the move to showcase her music, as a solo artist with her debut solo release on First Word records, released at the start of the year.

Her first solo single ‘Cigarette’ saw support from Cerys Matthews & Huey Morgan on BBC 6 Music, Gilles Peterson(BBC 6, Worldwide FM), Mi-Soul Radio (‘One To Watch’), Dan Digs (NPR Music), Tony Minvielle (Jazz FM), SomewhereSoul, Soho Radio and Global Soul.

Sonically, Victoria takes her influences from the soul music she grew up on, drawing inspiration from artists like Minnie Riperton and Nina Simone, to contemporaries such as Cleo Sol and Jorja Smith. She adds “I’m obsessed with 60s girlbands. I love the stories and the harmonies. Music for me is all about connection, that’s my role as an artist, to make my audience feel something.’
