Victoria’s demeanor and intelligence soar far beyond her youth. She believes that “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard,” which she credits to her dad for being a young man with an old soul. She recalls her dad bringing her a guitar around the age of 12 and at 14 she remembers wanting to play it and getting frustrated because nothing she wanted was coming out of the beautiful instrument and then she thought to herself, “God, you gave me this musical talent and I can’t find it, help me find it.”

Shortly thereafter, that’s when she learned how to play it on her own and realized that God gave had given her “this gift” as she calls it. She showed her dad what she learned so he’d teach her a little more and tell her that she was not going to play bass like a girl but as a seasoned musician. At that point, Victoria basically went from level 1 to level 20 real quick and is very proud of how her dad taught her to play.

I can’t help but look at Victoria with such admiration for strength as a musician because she had been crying during their performance because of the recent passing of her paternal grandmother, Julie, yet through her tears of pain the show must go on because that is what her grandmother would have wanted. Victoria reveals they didn’t choose this life, this life chose them, and her grandmother wouldn’t want them to cancel their shows because music is their therapy, their outlet, and God is their foundation to give them strength to go on.

Music fans won’t be disappointed attending a Conjunto Baraja de Oro performance as it’s evident their hard work has paid off with their many nominations and accolades. On stage, they will captivate you as a group, in sync as a band and as a family that’ll have you either on the dance floor or watching them in awe as they feed off one another’s energy and are tuned in with their many fans.

“There is definitely a lot of talent in our home and a lot of hard work,” Victoria said. “We’re blessed.”
