VICTORY BOYD

"There is a rich legacy of music that originates from both the trials and triumphs of the African American experience, a legacy that flows like a river through generations and waters the world with songs of hope for the present times and for the future".

This is how Victory Boyd, a 27-year-old soul and folk artist who hails originally from Detroit Michigan, describes not only the sound that she carries but also the responsibility of what she carries as an artist, entrepreneur, and advocate. After being personally signed by Jay-Z in 2016, Victory released her debut EP entitled "It's a New Dawn" featuring her soul stirring rendition of Nina Simone's classic "Feeling Good," among other songs including original songs "Believe In Love," "Lessons From My Father," and "Cheap Love." The entire project was released globally and premiered in over 8,000 Starbucks locations worldwide for over a year and positioned Victory to be highly anticipated in 2018 when her debut album and "The Broken Instrument" was released. Victory's talent as a singer-songwriter and performer quickly became popular in the music industry as she continued to demonstrate rare capabilities of captivating audiences with her classic sultry voice, thought-provoking lyrics, and unconventional guitar skills.

Victory established a reputation in elite circles of influence having performed private concerts for Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, Mellody Hobson from Ariel investments and her husband George Lucas the creator of Star Wars, Robert Smith venture capitalist, Mike Novogratz, Tyler Perry, Kanye West, and many, many others.

After Victory's talent and spiritual depth as discovered by Kanye West in 2019 she was invited to be a writer on Kanye's Grammy award winning album "Jesus is King" and went on to become the primary lyricist for hit songs "Closed on Sunday" and" God Is." Victory went on to win her first Grammy as a songwriter with Kanye and that same year she crafted the theme song for Russell Stover the Chocolate Company and their first commercial campaign in 20 years which went on to be a huge success. Victory began writing her sophomore album entitled "Glory Hour" in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic.

"After spending several months writing Gospel songs for Kanye, and then ending up in a worldwide pandemic and seeing how much I needed the comfort of a savior, I knew I hope to keep writing the message of the Gospel in song. For myself first and then for the World."

Victory's album "Glory Hour" is slated to be released Summer 2022

TRULAH

What comes to mind when you hear the word timeless? Perhaps it's the sound of beautiful melodies strung together like pearls, paired with a silk-smooth voice. Maybe it's the 'all is right with the world' feeling you get when you hide away from a rainy day with tea and your favorite book. While those tender moments may bring with them unexplainable nostalgia, they leave us longing for something more. Because in no time, voices that were once sweet, age and grow weak. And all too soon, cloudy, quiet days are hurried away by the demands of sunrise. So then, is there anything that is truly timeless?

I surely believe so.

Matter of fact, I believe timelessness not to be a one-hit wonder, or mere memory of nostalgia. It is more frequent and every day than that. Anything we put our hands to can become timeless. I believe there are songs that can last forever without ever having reached another's ear and even the shortest, unnoticed life can live on. For no work wrought in Christ's name and with love for Him is ever lost. No life lived for His sake ever dies.

My name is Trulah, and my aim is to live a timeless life and create timeless music.
