About

Originally from London, Victoria is a highly unique film & TV composer, Multi-Instrumentalist and Music Producer who’s carved out a fresh and cutting-edge experimental style across her wide range of work.

Victoria’s talent was first recognised when she won Best Composer at the 2011 Underwire Film Festival for “First Bite,” leading to her scoring the feature film “The Liability” in 2012. In 2014, she was awarded the prestigious Emerging Excellence Fund from Help Musicians UK, which supported her collaboration with the Bergersen String Quartet on “Siren.”

A participant in Berlinale Talents 2015, Victoria scored “Hong Kong Roof Top Rebels” for Al Jazeera, and her work on “I Choose” earned a BAFTA Cymru nomination in 2021. Her composition “DEATH NATURE” premiered at Aesthetica Film Festival in 2020, and in 2021, she began her debut EP, Graces & Muses, during a residency at The Red House. She also holds an MSc in Composition for Screen from the University of Edinburgh and is a member of BAFTA Connect.

Her recent work, which she feels marks the start of establishing herself as a Queer, South Asian multidisciplinary artist, reflects her deepening artistic identity. Currently working on her debut album, Victoria continues to push the boundaries of film and TV scoring, ready to bring her innovative style to new projects.
