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 which led to many years of lessons, competitions, accompaniment and a profound appreciation that is still very much alive today.

She began singing in children’s groups and a church choir that toured Mexico and Central America. Studying clarinet, dance, and theater in the USA, she took off for Germany after completing her Bachelor of Arts degree in music at Williams College in 1988. She worked with a performance art group in Munich and went on to Paris in 1993, where she discovered her passion for vocal jazz, honing her craft with Michele Hendricks, Laurence Saltiel and Roger Letson. In 2004, she was invited to record with cutting-edge electro a cappella group Les Grandes Gueules on their second album “Vocal Extreme.”

Since deciding to concentrate on her solo career, Vicki’s musical personality has evolved by leaps and bounds. Her first solo album, "Twinkle," was released in 2004 to rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. Her sophomore album "Am I Am" from 2011, takes her music one step further, with more personal lyrics and arrangements that reflect all her musical influences throughout the years, from blues to African and bossa nova. In 2017 has released his last entry, "Take Two" on the Spanish label Blue Moon Records, is an hommage to her film music favorites.

Vicki's live performances are ebullient and virtuosic, and her rapport with the audience is playful yet genuine. Perhaps as a result of this strong connection with her listeners, Victoria Rummler's master classes and "creative singing" workshops are also highly in demand.

It all started with a commission from the Théâtre du Bois d’Arcy near Paris, to do a jazz performance with a theme. I spontaneously chose “cinema,” probably due to the strong connection between jazz standards and movies. It also felt like an amusing challenge to juxtapose genres and make each piece a kind of short film for the ears. Since that first performance, the project has rolled around in my head, hibernated, and periodically resurfaced. Today it has finally emerged from my mind’s egg.

In the past, movie music meant lush orchestration, so in recording this album I decided to pull a musical u-ey: only voice and guitar, with as little arrangement as possible. The idea of working with different guitarists felt natural in light of the sweeping differences between the pieces, and it was thrilling to work with no less than five masters of the instrument: Lionel Loueke, Nguyên Lê, Federico Casagrande, Guilherme Monteiro and Dano Haider. Each of the songs reflects some aspect of my personal or creative journey. Cut! That’s a wrap! ~Victoria Rummler
