VICTORIA RUMMLER

ABOUT

A clear, sensual voice that runs the gamut of notes and emotions. Steeped in nuance and free of technical limitations, Victoria Rummler’s music is refreshingly fun and joyous.

Born near Detroit, USA, Vicki has been a Euro-convert for almost twenty years. Her musical experience began with a fascination for the piano at age six, leading to clarinet, dance, classical voice, theater, composition and arrangement. Since completing her Bachelor of Arts degree in music at Williams College in Massachusetts, she has performed all over the globe in groups ranging from a 6-part vocal jazz group to a cabaret act in German.

Her latest album, “am I am,” takes her jazz-based music one step further, with more personal lyrics and arrangements that reflect her musical influences throughout the years, from blues to African and bossa nova.

Vicki’s live performances are ebullient and virtuosic, and her rapport with the audience is playful yet genuine.

About Victoria’s live performances:

“Victoria Rummler blows you away. Beautiful and feisty, she becomes one with her art. Her cover versions are elegant. In a tongue-in-cheek exchange with the audience, she transmits her suave, mellow style to stressed-out Parisians and people in a hurry.”

Aisne Nouvelle (02), French regional newspaper, Manuel Caré

About Victoria’s second solo CD, “am I am”:

“(…) devilishly efficient composer (…) the singer sounds more comfortable than ever before. Her joy of singing is nothing short of contagious. Just listen to the soft breeze that is her voice, and you’ll feel great. Kick back, casually. It’s just plain jubilant.”
