Vikina

Latin urban pop artist, Vikina, flared onto the music scene with the release of her single, “Loca de Amor.” The single, produced by sP Polanco, combined the distinct rhythm of bachata with R&B-inspired Spanglish vocals & has currently received over 100,000 plays on Spotify. Catapulting off this success, for her newest single “Una Noche”, Vikina decided to add her unique vocals onto the infectious rhythms of reggaeton, pursuing towards a lasting feminine touch and positive impact on the Urban-Latin Genre. Vikina’s rich voice and fresh message will captivate listeners and leave them wanting much more from this emerging artist.

Born in Miami to Cuban and Ecuadorian parents, Vikina (Victoria Cristina López) was drawn to music at an early age. She started performing at family functions and learned about harmonizing in the church choir. Vikina received piano and acting training throughout her youth but has always been primarily passionate about singing for others. Under the artistic name Victoria, she has already shared her talent at a variety of venues, including Sábado Gigante, the Latin Grammy Street Parties, & Calle 8. The young singer even had the opportunity to song write for Nickelodeon as well as open up for superstar Don Omar as a member of the band Los Primeros.

Upon changing her artistic name and brand, the doors began to open for Vikina. Most recently, she made her debut as the winner of iHeart Radio's "Tu Estrella" competition in 2017. Vikina kicked off the official iHeart Radio Fiesta Latina where she shared the stage with Farruko, Zion y Lennox, & Shaggy. Shortly after she was selected to be a Uforia Debut Artist under Univision's radar and has sang the national anthem for NASCAR as well as the MIAMI HEAT.

Vikina identifies herself as a blend of the cultures and musical influences that surrounded her from birth: "As a born and raised Miami girl, I consider my personality to be a fusion, a melting pot of cultures and sounds. I have Caribbean and South American influences in my blood, but I still identify as American." Her music reflects the rhythms of her Latin roots with a vocal style that is reminiscent of R&B and Pop. Vikina looked to a variety of role models, such as Shakira, J-Lo, Selena, Beyoncé, and Gloria Estefan. "I strive to sing the way I like on top of the rhythms that move me with no genre boundaries!” Vikina adds, “When I hear a bachata, salsa, or merengue rhythm, it's almost like my heartbeat--it's in my blood."

Vikina hopes to fill a void that she sees in the industry, specifically, for young Latin women. "As a young modern Latina, I don't really hear enough urban Latin music that I can identify with lyrically," she says. "I'm confident in what I bring to the table, and that's part of the message and role model that I want to be for women in what I sing." Vikina's current project interweaves this determination and dedication with her musical talent, unending optimism, and passion for her art to create a product that is as unique as the artist herself.
