She caught Chocolate City‘s attention when she uploaded her cover version of Ice Prince “Oleku” online in 2011.

Her music video “Oya” feat. MI was the first Kenyan video to premiere on VEVO.

Victoria’s music career is certainly looking up. But because of her affinity for Nigeria, Kenyans are not sure if she’s Kenyan or Nigerian or KenGerian.
