Independent artist Victoria Leanna is one to keep an eye on. She is an innately talented vocalist on a quest to share her story with the world so people can connect with it.
Ascend Agency is working with Digital Music News to create opportunities for artists to be visible to the music industry.
She is involved in all elements of her music, from creating the songs and recording and arranging them to releasing the record or album. The level of work that goes into her talent is unrivaled. She sees herself as an independent artist who is free to use music to express stories and engage with her fan base.
Victoria believes music is a powerful tool that knows no boundaries, and her songs can be mantras, affirmations, and directions to support women through their struggles. Though she leverages her talent to speak to people who can relate to her songs, her primary demographic is women as she recounts her experiences and highlights real situations affecting women. This includes talking about topics that no one is addressing.
Victoria emphasizes that much of her music makes big statements in the lyrics around the idea of women getting what they want in life, relationships, and sex. Although the topics can be racy, the message is delivered in an unforgettable, clever way through the lyrics and wordplay. This makes her an exceptionally gifted songwriter and storyteller who positively impacts society.
Victoria has taken delight in the fact that her music has quickly gained audiences across the world.
Top celebrities have also taken notice of her work, like Ne-Yo, who backed her track “Je Ne Sais Quoi.” Saumya Kamble, the top dancer in India, also graced her video shoot by appearing in one of Victoria’s songs.
Victoria knows firsthand that being a skilled musician alone won’t guarantee success in the music industry. You can make classic music passionately, but you must also be aware of the business aspects of the industry. If you’re a creative who wants to produce something artistic, Victoria also thinks this applies to you and all other businesses and that you need to study the financial aspect of it.
Being an artist and having a vision for your music and art is undoubtedly a struggle with ego. This was the situation for Victoria until she learned that she needed a machine and a crew to produce music of a high caliber that could easily compete with what mainstream music artists were producing. Since then, she has developed a team and a system and gained knowledge of the music industry.
“Also, what you like personally might not be what you’re best at creating. For example, the genres of music I personally love listening to is not the genre of music I make as an artist, but you can take anything as inspiration and create your own lane with it,” she explains.
Victoria Leanna aspires to grow and expand her musical brand to the international stage. She is also working on releasing more music that will be heard by millions of people not only here in the United States but all over the world. To her, the mission is to inspire and help transform the lives of others through music.
