Giant Step Presents V V Brown on Wednesday, February 17 at Hiro Ballroom. This event is strictly 21+ with ID.
The RSVP list is now closed. If you would like to be invited to future Giant Step events, please sign up for our newsletter.
V V Brown is a dynamo self-starter: a songwriter and producer; an absolute trouper through two European music festival seasons; a fashion maven with a retail website devoted to her personal eye for retro style in the 21st century, and even a model, first signed through a chance in-flight meeting, and now represented by Next Models. But be aware that these are all deeply integrated, under her creative ownership, not the scattered branding efforts of a newbie with a "360" deal.
Although she was signed in 2008 to record and produce her debut album (Universal Records in the UK; EMI in the US) of original material, V V's musical career began much earlier. Like a long line of strong female singers before her, V V started her singing career in the church choir on Sundays as a child. At home she heard Aretha, The Rolling Stones, Ruth Brown, Elvis Presley, and Queen in her parents' collection, and also the video game music from Super Mario Land.
By her own admission, the early pursuit of a music career left her alone and thoroughly off-course. The teachers' daughter skipped university, and signed to a major label at the age of 19 in Los Angeles, gathering pseudononymous co-writer and background vocal credits on the albums of platinum artists. But after three years in the mill, she felt profoundly bereft of purpose, not to mention devastated by a bad break-up. A far wiser, deal-less V V was so broke that she sold her keyboard to pay for her flight home from California -- but she was not broken.
Back home with her aunt and sisters, "every day was spent making music. Every hour, every day from nine in the morning until two the next morning.” Money was so tight that V V bought a one-stringed guitar in a charity shop -- and wrote “Crying Blood” about her ex the very next day. The result is the addictive and catchy debut album 'Travelling Like The Light' which just saw its US release on February 2.
