VICTORY DROPS NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR “ONE THING” FROM “GLORY HOUR” ALBUM
GRAMMY® AWARD WINNING ROC NATION SINGER/SONGWRITER GEARS UP AS OPENER FOR SELECTED DATES FROM APRIL 11 – MAY 18 LAUREN DAIGLE “KALEIDOSCOPE TOUR,” PERFORMING IN ARENAS NATIONWIDE.
New York, NY (February 8, 2024) — Grammy® Award winning Roc Nation singer-songwriter VICTORY drops her new music video today for “One Thing,” from her album, “Glory Hour.” Check out the video for “One Thing” HERE. The video recently made its broadcast premiere on the Paramount Times Square billboards, BET Soul and BET Her.
Named Amazon’s “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” (2023), VICTORY was also recently a featured performer on the TODAY SHOW, and THE KELLY CLARKSON SHOW, and is continuing to perform in arenas nationwide as featured guest supporting artist on two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning Lauren Daigle’s highly acclaimed “The Kaleidoscope Tour” on selected dates from April 11– May 18, with stops in Houston, Anaheim, Boise, and more. She will also be performing at the historic Apollo Theatre in New York on March 16; and has two special Valentine’s Day shows at Blue Note Jazz Club in NYC with featured guests Keyon Harold and Kenneth Whalum on February 14 and 15.
Bluesy and soulful, VICTORY, who originally hails from Detroit, Michigan, brings the full measure of her talent to music that blends gospel, blues, folk, pop, and soul musical styles. From the start of her career, VICTORY has always been about finding fresh ways to express her truth, and though musically grounded in her unique R&B fusion style, “Glory Hour” is a bold and inspirational 18-track collection that marks her first official foray into gospel music. Produced by Kaleb Moten, VICTORY set the tone for the stylistically eclectic album.
VICTORY wrote, recorded and co-produced the new project at The Secret Place, the New Jersey based studio she opened in early 2020, and penned her tunes on a baby grand piano. On “Glory Hour,” the singer-songwriter plays multiple instruments, from the piano on her ballad “Glory to God”; to acoustic guitar on “Just Like in Heaven.” The album also includes the choir and blues-infused “Rejoice,” and classic hymns such as “His Eye is On The Sparrow,” and “Great is Thy Faithfulness.” VICTORY was accompanied by an ensemble of musicians on tracks produced by Kaleb Moten, Space Jones and Grammy® Award winner Stephen Blake Kanicka.

About VICTORY:
Grammy® award winning Roc Nation singer/songwriter VICTORY releases her sophomore album, “Glory Hour” – the follow up to her first two folk/jazz/soul recordings “It’s a New Dawn” (2017) and her critically acclaimed debut album, “The Broken Instrument” (2018). Growing up in a family deeply committed to music and live performances, VICTORY is one of nine siblings who sang in the Boys & Girls Choir of Detroit, an organization founded by her father John Boyd. Taking music seriously as a career from the start, she began singing with the choir at age four, and later studied jazz guitar. When she was 12, the family moved to North Bergen, New Jersey, and they started busking together using various names – including Peace Industry Music Group – at NYC tourist attractions and on subway platforms. The Boyds became particularly renowned for their appearances in the Minton Tile Arcade next to Bethesda Fountain, a spot favored for its great acoustics. VICTORY and four of her siblings — older brother Abraham and younger siblings Angel, Israel, and Momo, later formed the offshoot group Infinity’s Song, which rose to national prominence in 2015 after pop singer Tori Kelly happened upon them performing “Oceans” one day in Central Park and joined in. A video of the impromptu performance went viral (1.2M views on YouTube). In 2015, Peace Industry Music Group released Infinity’s Song’s self-titled debut album. The Boyds later played for Jay-Z, who signed them to Roc Nation, ultimately leading to VICTORY’s signing with the label as a solo artist and releasing “It’s A New Dawn.” The EP featured her beautiful renditions of songs by two of her greatest influences, Nina Simone (“Feeling Good”) and Stevie Wonder (“Overjoyed”). In 2020, Infinity’s Song released their label debut “Mad Love.” In 2019, VICTORY won her first Grammy® for her work on Kanye West’s album “Jesus is King” and performed the National Anthem at an NFL playoffs game in 2018.
