In 2010, she and some friends formed the country-folk band Jolie Jumper. An EP followed two years later. On a fateful evening while deejaying at Le Cheval Blanc pub, she met Québécois musician and her guitar hero, Sunny Duval Victoria would later go on to sing on Duval's records and play in his band. They spent six years on the road travelling through Quebec, Louisiana and Switzerland, meeting inspiring musicians along the way. From 2015 to 2016, Victoria toured with singer-songwriter Mara Tremblay following the release of Tremblay's album À la manière des anges alongside François Plante. In 2016, Plante became the producer of Victoria's first full length solo album, Cars Passing By. Later that year, Victoria gave birth to her first son and, two years after that, a second son followed. Victoria now spends her time writing songs and watching her kids grow.
