NashvilleHype! is proud to be among the others in the industry who have recognized Victoria Banks for her songwriting capabilities. Only with her latest being one of the best in my opinion! Along with Rachel Proctor and Jessica Simpson, she has co-written “Come On Over”, which has made Billboard chart history by debuting at number 41 on Billboard’s Hot Country Song’s chart. Since June 4, 2008 it has climbed the charts at steadily to position itself at number 20 today climbing three spots from last week alone!
Says Ken Tucker of Billboard.com :
Sexy, flirtatious “Come On Over” is everything it needs to be—undeniably country and not forced.
Victoria spent her childhood growing up in Canada and studied classical voice and piano. One day while in calculus class she had a realization. In her own words,
“I was earning a Zoology degree in Toronto and the lyrics just started pouring out, right in the middle of a calculus exam,” she says. “It didn’t take long to figure out that songwriting was my calling - I couldn’t help but pursue it.”
She has become one of Nashville’s most in-demand songwriters. She performed for us at the Supercell Benefit for Tornado Victims benefitting the Red Cross relief effort - singing alongside her dear friend Mary Sue Englund .
We will keep wathcing her song climb! Way to go Victoria!
