Victoria Fragoso
is a piano-based artist who appeals to fans of Vanessa Carlton, Ben Folds, and Regina Spektor. Her diverse musical influences include her Hispanic heritage, classical piano training, church choir harmonies, and musical theater background. Victoria's vocals are rich, with an emotional and distinct quality. Her music and social media content feature refreshing singer-songwriter material that is honest and heartfelt.
With over fifteen years of open-mic experience, Victoria's craft made its way from the coffeehouse into the clouds with her first digital release “This River”, a five song EP, in 2019. This push to produce her songs came after the experience of her daughter's premature birth at five weeks early and less than four pounds. The strength of her daughter at such a young age sparked a missing resilience that helped her overcome fears of sharing her art.
Victoria's self-produced work continues to reflect her raw ambition and talent through genre-fluid compositions and thoughtful lyrics. Her degree in Creative Writing from Chapman University in Southern California and a passion for special effects makeup have allowed her to showcase a higher level of creative artistry and imaginative storytelling through her online content and music videos.
During the pandemic, Victoria reunited with old friends to perform her material on live stream shows. Today, Victoria (or "Toya" as family and friends call her), continues to grow her audience and foster community by bringing awareness to other talented west coast artists and musicians. You can catch her hosting a live talk show called “Tuesday with Toya” twice a month on Instagram (@fragogowritesmusic) where she plays keys and ukulele in addition to interviewing artists of various genres, exploring their thoughts on the life of an artist and the processes of songwriting and performing.
Her latest release “No Moon” is inspired by the 60's/70's practice of releasing a two-sided single record. In this second release of 2022, "No Moon" is side A, and "Possibilities" is side B. She continues to focus on improving her sound and exploring genre identity. Last October she opened for fellow hometown artist Rocky Sandoval at McMenamins in Tacoma and has been playing at Seattle winery Sleight of Hand Cellars. This year she is making her way back from the "cloud" to live venues in the rainy state of Washington.
