Vox, a graduate of Boston's Berklee College of Music, played guitar-driven music until a friend gave her a ukulele. She found the four-stringed instrument suited her vocal range better than a guitar, and released her first uke-drive album, Victoria Vox & Her Jumping Flea, in 2006. On that record she recorded a cover of "Iz" Kamakawiwoʻole's Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World medley that quietly soars, a heartfelt yet unique tribute to Hawaiian music and a star that dimmed far too soon. She released her follow-up album, Chameleon, on her own Obus Music in July of this year. The album features a track, C'est Noye, which won 1st place in the Acoustic Open Genre at the 2009 International Acoustic Music Awards.
