Hailing from the city of Chicago, Veronica V. has had music in her blood since the tender age of 5 years old. While riding in the backseat of her mother’s car singing along with the radio to Shanice’s hit single “I Love Your Smile”.
By the age of nine, Veronica sang in the choir of her mother’s church where she blossomed as a solo singer with a voice beyond her years and limitless potential. At 10 years old she was part of a female duo where her vocal skills were paired with a young female rapper. This experience fueled her hunger to become a professional singer and opened the creative door as a songwriter.
That hunger led Veronica to singing on stages at talent shows, festivals, and in front of cover bands in Chi-Town. Eventually Cash Money Records founders Ronald ‘Slim’ Williams and Bryan ‘Baby’ aka Birdman Williams discovered the diamond in the rough and released her first debut single release through the label was an up-tempo track titled, “What Happened To Us” feat 2 Chainz, and produced by hitmaker Polow da Don. It was released in the UK and a full project was offered, but Veronica saw things differently and made the choice to walk away. Being independent goes a long way today.
Legendary singer Betty Wright who has heavily influenced the singer says “Veronica reminds me of a tiger. She has that tenacity, a real voice and unusual beauty, but she doesn’t have to rely on her looks; she has talent. She comes correct.” Veronica is also an incredible songwriter, she’s written for the likes of Yung Berg, Gorilla Tech, Cool & Dre, T-minus, The Runners, Drop, Polow da Don, Timbaland and many other talented producers. She is definitely not a veteran in this game.
Veronica V. released a mixtape called “BLUEBIRD”, which to her represents freedom, because her music career and personal life has been a non-stop rollercoaster ride that she didn’t have the strength to stand up, and end the ride… until now. The seven-song project has been distributed digitally for free. You can expect her to take you on a journey of pain, healing, love, and self-discovery on this new project “BLUEBIRD.”
Check out the video for the single.
Veronica V is definitely what r&b has been missing. While everyone else is talking about superficial things on every track, Veronica is singing the story that women can actually relate to. She is definitely on the rise to being a known force to be reckoned with, without the use of auto-tune, and only pure blown talent.
Veronica is making moves, keep up with her by visiting her website and following her on Instagram at @veronicaworld. You can listen to the full BLUEBIRD album by going to www.veronicavworld.hearnow.com/
