very young age. She designs websites, is a
Producer and Background Vocalist for Homeland Records out of Gallatin,
TN

Travel. Victoria writes and arranges most of The Shireys' music as well. Most importantly, she loves the Lord with all

Childhood Memory: My Grandmother Clark used to take me down to Myrtle Beach, SC to the Family Kingdom,
and I would get up on stage and perform with an Elvis impersonator.
If you could meet one person from the past or present, who would it be and why?
It would definitely be ELVIS PRESLEY! I am a HUGE fan! He
seemed like such a cool guy and had a heart of gold.
What has been your most embarrassing moment on the road?
I
have a lot of those haha. The worst was when I was younger though. It
was my first full concert
with my family, and I got a little too nervous and
had an accident on stage. I had to be excused while Mom sang a solo,
go change on the bus, then come back and finish out
the rest of the service.
What has been your most exciting moment on the road?
I went to hear my friends, The Hoppers, in concert one night. Claude called me up on
stage with them, Connie handed me her microphone, and I got to sing her part on, “Yahweh” with them. It
was so much fun!
What has been your most
rewarding moment on the road?
It’s
always
a joy to see people come to know Jesus Christ as
their personal Savior, whether it be for the first time or rededicating
their
lives to Him. That’s why I do what I do. It is
also cool to have people come up to me and tell me how much
a song that I’ve written or my testimony has
blessed and helped them. That makes it all worth while.
