Kenya’s Victoria Kimani is now in the loving embrace of Nigerian music label Chocolate City, after a long search by the business outfit to tap into some local talent.
Vickie was snapped up by the hit-makers who’ve been trying for more than a year to get a Kenyan on board, as part of their expansion plans.
Chocolate City is the label responsible for Ice Prince, M.I., Jessie Jags, and Brymo, who have in turn worked hard for their money by churning out hit song after hit song after hit song.
Victoria Kimani, born in LA, originally from Kenya....started writing, recording and performing at 16, Lived in Nigeria her high school years,
and Moved back to Nairobi,
Kenya at 17...since then, she has been back and forth between LA, ATL, NY and London working with top artists and producers, perfecting and developing her musical and visual craft as well as writing for all sorts of signed artists around the world. In 2009 she joined a duo called Club Embassy and signed to Los Angeles Laker Ron Artest, released a mixtape called Diplomatic Immunity hosted by 50 cent's DJ Whoo Kid, it got over 250,000 downloads and created alot of Industry buzz...In mid 2010 the duo split and began working on solo projects..
i learnt victoria has been searching to get a more solid output for her music,
but the search is over. The two found each other reportedly during an African music tour in the states, which Ice Prince was a part of.
Vickie is veteran rapper Bamboo’s younger sister, and one of the strongest RnB voices to come out of Kenya, even though she is based in the United States.
The 20 plus year old is working on her debut album, looking for her own shine after staying in the background for too long.
victoria has worked with artists like Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes and Casssie, among others as well as spent a lot of man-hours writing music for Konvict Music.
Her signing comes as Chocolate City are planning a physical presence in the country, most like by early next year.
lets chill for victoria to get infected with the choc city swag.
