This musical background served as inspiration for her to step onto the floors of Argentine nightclubs for the first time, where Victoria found her definitive vocation in 2008. “In that year, I began to become interested in the world of mixing. I worked in a huge club in Buenos Aires and I was hypnotized, watching how the DJ mixed the music and carried the night forward,” says Victoria, who almost in parallel would work as a vocalist in a band that would later lead her to study musical production and find your definitive vocation.
