History of the artist's development
Victoria Niro is the stage name of Ukrainian singer, songwriter and composer Viktoriya Slobodska. It was in her hometown that Victoria's path to fame and recognition began. Here, the young star of the modern Ukrainian stage graduated from school and entered the Lviv branch of the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts. She sang since childhood, but for a long time she did not take her talent seriously.
She took her first steps in vocals at the age of 13. And a year later she started playing the guitar and piano, conquering everyone around her with her bright charisma. At the same age, she gained her first fans - after she published a cover of the song Numb by Linkin Park. Then she recorded a version of Dan Balan's hit "I Need". The video became fateful: the artist himself saw it and unexpectedly invited Victoria to perform together at a concert.
From that moment on, the girl confidently decided: the stage would be the main part of her life. So Victoria Niro finally chose music.
Creative path
Real popularity came to Victoria Niro thanks to TikTok. Videos with covers, which the singer published more and more actively, quickly went viral. The singer's recognition among fans of talented creativity also grew. Over time, the artist moved on to creating her own music.
The first video clip for the original song was shot in September 2022 for the song “Young Young Man”. This is a story about the tenderness and thrill of first love. Just a few months after her successful debut, in November, the singer presented a new work. The track told about life in wartime and the common hope for victory shared by every Ukrainian. Among the deep and touching releases of that time is also the single “Faith”. The composition was based on the real story of a newborn girl who was born in a bomb shelter in the first days of a full-scale invasion.
2024 for Victoria Niro fans began with the premiere of a duet composition with Sasha Gorov – the song “Bayduzhe”. The track talks about sincerity in relationships and the importance of being honest with each other, despite the opinions of others. The next work is the ironic and at the same time sensual song "As if in a Dream". In it, the artist wittily reflects on disappointment, difficulties and mistakes in relationships.
The well-known single "I Don't Know" was first heard on the air of "Radio Promin". During the premiere, the singer shared the story of the creation of the track. In May, the song "Sister" was released, recorded in collaboration with rapper Problema. Later, Victoria Niro presented the track "Rebellious Head", on which she worked together with close friends. In 2024, the artist's first solo concert took place.
Style and creative development
Victoria Niro's musical style is characterized by the lightness and special vibe of songs from the 80s and 90s - warm rhythms, melody and notes of nostalgia. The artist actively creates original music, while not giving up covers of favorite compositions by famous performers. Victoria's work is full of dreams to popularize Ukrainian culture and make Ukrainian music even kinder, more sincere and melodic. And at the same time - to bring it to a wider audience.
Victoria began 2025 with a landmark work - a cover of Kuzma Scriabin's legendary hit "Moomitroll". The release became a special manifestation of respect for Ukrainian musical classics and at the same time - a new stage in the singer's creative development.
Social activity
With the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Victoria Niro's work acquired a new sound. And it's not about the sound - it's about the mood of the songs. Patriotic motifs and sincere words of support are increasingly appearing in them. The artist actively performs for the military, participates in charity events and conducts TikTok broadcasts together with the fighters, supporting the morale of the defenders.
Victoria's songs often appear in the videos of Our Heroes, which gave the singer the unofficial, but very honorable title of "favorite of Ukrainian defenders". The war also affected Victoria personally. The singer lost a close friend at the front. The poignant song "So Little" is dedicated to him, full of pain, light and memory.
