Welcome to BuzzMusic, Victoria Rose, and congratulations on your latest release, "On Your Toes." Can you walk us through the creative process for your song "On Your Toes?"
“On Your Toes” started from a track my producer started to come up with. I instantly loved the sound of it, so I slowly started to come up with a topic that I felt went with the track. It always sounded like a romantic song, but I didn’t just want to write a typical love song. So I went into a room alone with the track for a few hours and just started writing. The verses came to me relatively easily. When the chorus finally hit me, I knew this song would turn out amazing. Writing the bridge was probably my favorite part. We knew the song needed to go somewhere else and build. So with the lyrics I had, I had some help from my co-writer with the melody, and I fell in love with what she came up with. We both agreed we needed a big high note to make it wow everyone. After that, everything just fell perfectly together.
\Who were your biggest musical influences growing up?
My biggest musical influences growing up were Carrie Underwood, Adele, Christina Aguilera, and Dolly Parton.
Can you recall your first song and what it was about?
I’ve been writing and developing songs since I was super little. Still, the first one I vividly remember was “Let My Guard Down.” I wrote that after being hurt so many times by people who I thought had my back and always having to have my guard up, but then learning to let it down and let people in.
Of all the instruments you've learned, which one do you feel the most connected with?
I connect with my guitar the most. I learned piano and ukulele before guitar, but I always seem to go to my guitar first.
You've performed on several stages across the country. Which performance has been the most memorable for you?
The performance that has been the most memorable for me was performing at Ole Red Orlando for the Battle of the Bands finale. I didn’t even think I would make it to the last round because I was so young and just started performing there. My band and I had a blast that night; everything sounded amazing. And the crowd that night was also amazing. The place was packed, and everybody was singing along and helping me with the one song I sang, “Redneck Woman” - Gretchen Wilson. At first, they announced the wrong winner, but when I didn’t hear my name, I wasn’t even that disappointed because it was just a great night. Then when it was announced that I won, the place went crazy, which just topped the whole night off. It’s one performance I will never forget.
