ENGLISH ROSE ARRIVES IN HOLLYWOOD
HOW THE ‘ICONS OF THE FUTURE’ ALUMNI IS CLIMBING THE LADDER TO THE STARS...
Catching up with busy triple talent Singer/Actress/Dancer Victoria Summer, we chat to her about her latest endeavours in tinsel town.
After wrapping the lead role of Lina Harker in the remake of Dracula last year, Victoria has been busy with everything from
filming the latest Subaru commercial to auditioning for the lead in the latest TV pilot.
In addition to that, she has been writing songs for her forthcoming album and as Ambassador for the Foundation for a Drug Free World, recently wrote and recorded an anti-drug anthem as well as giving seminars for kids addressing the dangers of drugs.
Life growing up in Berkshire, England was very different. Victoria now attends Red Carpet Events most weeks and just lately has had audition after audition and endless photo shoots with some very talented Los Angeles based photographers including Jill Greenberg as most memorable.
Soon to go into the studio to start recording her debut album, Victoria describes her singing style as Vintage Pop. Her live performance venues have included the Lanesborough Hotel in London, Crustacean Restaurant in Beverly Hills, the Casa Del Mar Hotel in Santa Monica and the oh so glamorous Beverly Wilshire Hotel to name but a few.
We had a chat with Victoria to find out more.
How has your life changed since connecting up with the Camelot Icons of the Future programme?
"My life has completely changed. Often it is difficult for an artist to have the support to concentrate on their craft; they are often distracted by having to do other jobs that may not necessarily contribute to their goals and purposes. Because of the help I have received from Camelot and the Icons of the Future programme, I have not only been able to take the time to better myself as an artist but I've also had the confidence and guidance to dream bigger than ever before."
