V.V Brown

A UK native who has a very very unique sound to her music.  In an interview of hers, she labels her music as alternative pop music with a bit of retro style mixed into it, and on her facebook page her music is described as soul, indie, R&B, and pop type music.

I first heard about Brown from her song Shark in the Water which was background music for a commercial for the show Degrassi.  In the summer of 2010, I went to a Maroon 5 concert, and I was not sure who his opening act was but then I recognized the last song she played and it was Shark in the Water. It is really a catchy song that it cannot be forgotten in my opinion.  Click the link below to view the video for Shark in the Water.

Shark in the Water


She wanted to be a musician when she was 5.  She started her music life on her mom's piano.  And from there she has created songs about life experiences in her debut album "Traveling Like The Light". 

Originally V.V was very popular in the UK but she wanted to come to America to spread out her music.  Since she came here she has been having a tough time getting her music and name known. But I don't see how that is possible what with her different music style.  Her music definitely portrays the retro aspect because some parts can sound like they are part of 70's type music, or some sound of that nature.  In that same interview mentioned earlier, when asked what type of music she's experimented with V.V said she's ventured into 50's, punk, reggae, really a bit of everything.  To give you the reader a feel for what I mean by her having a retro side take a look/listen at this next song of hers:

Not only does her song have a sense of 50's to it, but also her style is that of that same era, clothing and a little bit hairwise in my opinion. This last song also has a monster mash sound to it as well.
