This young, new artist is truly unparalleled in the music world. She, through the shear majestic power of her own voice, has transcended the myriad bargain bin pop-punk princesses into a profound creative force. Her voice not only refines the word “power” in power-pop in her more upbeat tracts, but can flawlessly transform itself, becoming heartbreaking, delicate and haunting. The emotions and experience she evokes are made all the more impressive when one discovers that her artistic potential has not yet peaked at a tender 16. Ria is an artist whose fresh new style of classic rock and roll has just begun to shake the music landscape. You have been warned

This Talented young lady to briefly leave the traditional melody just enough to make the performance her own. Then she would return to the classic sound of the song like a seasoned professional. This is a very rare talent and is difficult for most young singers to learn. Victoria has mastered it. The song sounded great and would make Glenn Frey and Don Henley proud.
When Hit me with your best Shot began, Rias cool smile and confident swagger let the room know that she was in her element. Subtle gestures like a few well-placed winks and shrugs were used with professional restraint and her entire domineer during the long and often very awkward guitar solo didnt faze her in the least. At that point it was her microphone, her stage. She was in complete control. Wait! Someone check her birth certificate. Is she really only 16?
