A songstress, who’s soulful sound and storytelling is on-par with the world’s most cherished musical icons from her native Detroit: from Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin & Marvin Gaye, to The Winans Family & Motown Records itself. Victory Boyd’s creative roots were deep-watered by her musical family’s vocal-harmony group, Infinity’s Song.
The group’s defining lead voice and musical spokeswoman, Victory Boyd has led the charge as a solo artist and producer as well. Victory draws on the soul, jazz, folk, and gospel music she has performed from her early foundations in Detroit, to her “10,000 hours” busking in New York’s Central Park for over a decade, where her current alignments with Jay Z & Roc Nation took root.
A Grammy Award soon followed for her contribution to 2020’s Best Christian & Gospel Album and 2021’s Grammy-winner with Kanye West.
After years of honing her chops and making her name as a force-of-nature vocalist, the Nashville-based singer/songwriter has dreamed up her own unbridled collision of rock-and-roll, soul, folk, funk, and R&B: a fittingly eclectic sound for a musician whose live experience includes opening for Heart and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, touring as direct support for Kelly Clarkson, and sharing the Cayamo Cruise bill with Emmylou Harris and Jason Isbell—all in 2019 alone. The third album from Maggie Rose, Have a Seat is the work of a phenomenally gifted artist showing the full extent of her power. Centered on the stunning vocal command she’s revealed in taking the stage at The Grand Ole Opry over 80 times, Have a Seat finds Rose approaching her music with more confidence and clarity of vision than ever, ultimately sharing a selection of songs both timeless and urgent.
