QUEEN CITY NERVE
Jamla Records Songbird Heather Victoria Lands in Charlotte
Born in Fayetteville and brought up in Wilson, R&B singer Heather Victoria was raised on soul music, but there’s plenty more than that mixed into her own art. Over her 10-year career, Victoria’s built her own sound, fusing soul and R&B with jazz and funk.
“As an artist, I’m still growing, still learning new things every day,” she told Queen City Nerve.
We talked with the ever-evolving singer in the lead-up to a March 12 stop in Charlotte at Amos’ Southend with Jamla Records labelmates Rapsody and Charlotte’s own Reuben Vincent as part of Rapsody’s A Black Woman Created This tour.
We discussed what Victoria has created for herself in the same vein, as well as how she pays respect to those who laid the foundation.
