Victoria Wiltshire, née Wu, learned piano at age 7, and transitioned vocal lessons at age 15. She spent 10 years studying Classical, Musical Theatre, Jazz, and Standards techniques as well as acting at William Bates Academy of Performing Arts, and then another 6 immersing herself into a more modern approach with singing teacher, Jaanz, focusing on Pop, and R&B. Another 2 years of training to refine placement and range continuity followed with vocal teacher Lisa Roberts. In between voice lessons, Victoria completed the "Acting & Movement Course for Singers" at the prestigious National Theatre in 1991. At 20, Victoria began what would become an unshakable passion that continues today - she sang and played keyboards in a duo and discovered the joys of live performance. From then till now, she has performed as front person, backing vocalist, dancer, and keyboardist in countless shows. Victoria's professional music career began in earnest in 1992 when she was signed to Sony Music Australia as a recording artist with the group, 'Culture Shock'. She then joined the Sydney production of Cameron Macintosh's 'Miss Saigon' in 1996 landing the role of "Gigi" understudy and the chorus, before forming a songwriting/production partnership with husband Paul Wiltshire. Over the next 15 years, the pair wrote &/or produced for The Backstreet Boys, Australian Idol, Engelbert Humperdinck, Guy Sebastian, Delta Goodrem, and many more, with sales exceeding 15 million internationally. In 1993, Victoria relocated to Los Angeles with Paul and their two children where they launched MusicTech company Songtradr. In true startup fashion, she built the design and content team, working closely with marketing and communications, and went on to establish the customer support department, before building the global HR team. Throughout, Victoria hasn't stopped script and copy writing, designing, editing videos and more. As part of her work, she has produced and hosted all company meetings for the global teams, and "Songtradr Happy Hour", a virtual show with many key industry guests including director, Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure movies, While You Were Sleeping, The Meg) and composer, David Hirschfelder (Elizabeth, The Railway Man, Shine).
