Who Is Victoria Bigelow?
Victoria Bigelow is an up-and-coming American singer, songwriter, and performer who is slowly (but surely) breaking into the mainstream. I was just plugged with her music by my bae a week ago, and damn! y’all are sleeping on some good tunes. So let’s jump right to it, shall we? First hearing impression?, I thought, “Maybe it’s just another Billie Eilish copycat,” but then I really listened, and I’ve been hooked since. Her kind of music can only be rightly described as unique and ‘ear-gasmic.’ It’s the kind of music you want playing when the day is chill and calm or even chaotic and you just want that peace of mind. But I bet you’re here to know more about her (outside of her music, of course). So let’s get to it.

Early Life and Career
Victoria was born and raised in Georgia (yes, Georgians, y’all have got a star in this one). So how did she get into music? Well, it started when she was quite young, actually. From as little as a toddler, Victoria always showed interest in music and musical instruments, and her mother, being a supporting parent even at a young age, got her a $10 guitar for her 12th birthday. Victoria has shared that this was in fact a pivotal moment in her career, as she quickly learned to play the guitar and has been in love with it ever since.
Flashforward to her adolescent years, and despite having a rather tumultuous childhood, Victoria used music as her way of finding relief from all the pressures of coming of age. Fun fact though; Victoria actually wanted to be on Broadway, and her mom would often take her for auditions for plays, which made her even more eager to go into music.
Musical Inspiration
Aside from her mother, who is her biggest supporter, Victoria Bigelow draws inspiration from quite a number of world-class artists. Some of her biggest sources of inspo include Angel Olsen, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Weyes Blood, Aimee Mann, Amy Winehouse (I mean), Hope Sandoval, and Jeff Buckley. From the list, I bet you can tell she has incredible taste in music. Oh, she also mentioned that she listens to Frank Ocean, SZA, and Hiatus Kaiyote.
Discography
Victoria has a lot of amazing tunes, but how would someone describe her music? What genre is it? With her songs featuring intimate lyrics and twangy vocals, Victoria dabbles between country, folk, and pop. She kind of reminds me of Lana Del Rey or a blend between Billie Eilish and Allison Ponthier. Being a very conscious person, Victoria usually makes music that has purpose, and her project, “The Kids” is a great example. The Kids highlights the difficulties of being a young person in the current society and sheds light on the many experiences people go through as adolescents.
Some of her most popular tracks include; Waves, Going Blue, Make Me Blue, Under the Tree, Song For No One, The Kids, Fade Into You, and Low. She also has over 53,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and is growing day by day. You can bet she’ll hit superstardom in no time!
Personal Life
Victoria Bigelow is 29 years old and celebrates her birthday on June 6 every year. She is married to Devan Skaggs, a producer and composer who has worked on a number of her projects. Victoria and Devan got married on August 3, 2020, and have been blessed with a son named Elliot.
