Viktoria Ross is on her way to make a mark in the pop and electronic dance music world with the debut of her first American single, "Money," produced and co-written by Music Producer and Entertainment Consultant Raffles Van Exel. The Eastern European beauty is taking on the EDM movement with her vocals backed by high energy house music. "My style is pop with a mix of folk music and EDM," said Ross who loves to perform live.
It's no secret that music is a big part of the Ukrainian culture, from folk music to modern rock. Ross will add EDM to the traditional Ukrainian culture with her mash up of world music and hip hop. As an only child, Ross found her "brothers and sisters" in a music family when she attended a local music school. "When I was 14 years old, I enrolled in the Leonid Utesov Music Academy in Kiev," she said. "I was obsessed with the piano."
While a music student, Ross met a well-known Ukrainian singer and producer who cast her as the lead singer of the band. "We topped the Ukrainian music charts," she said.
Ross comes from humble beginnings but her sound is unique and on a high level. "I was born and raised in a small village," said Ross. "My mom is a farmer and my dad is a truck driver." After graduating from music school, Ross knew her next step was to travel to the US to pursue her dreams of being an international music artist. "My family influences my music," said said. "They inspire and encourage me to create something big and amazing."
Raffles van Exel, president and CEO of Raffles Entertainment, met Ross and knew she had the talent to be introduced into the music industry. "Miss V is the next big international star," said van Exel. "She has the look of a super model with a heart of gold."
Van Exel co-wrote the song, "Money," with Anthony Paul for Ross and paired her with the best in the music production business, including Ari Stylez, hip hop artist destined to be a legend. "Ari is a prodigy of the Grammy award-winning Chance the Rapper," said Van Exel. "He just collaborated with 4-time Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter PooBear and American Music Award nominee rapper Tyga."
