Vocal artist & songwriter Vicki Tetreault, was born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, but relocated to Quebec City as a child, where she began learning the beauty and importance of mating her different cultures. Vicki's fearless determination and passion for building hope with her music for the kindred soul is her ultimate goal.
Vicki, a United States born mixture of French Canadian, American, Native American and European ancestry, moved to the French speaking province of Quebec, Canada at an early age.
Relocating to a new country and learning a new language, was a rigid transition for Vicki's straight A record. She eventually decided she would leave school for a time in order to find work and help her father and grandparents bring in grocery money, and help look after her younger siblings; as everyone was slowly adjusting to the unfortunate family separation of her parents.
Although times were emotionally challenging Vicki found strength in something that allowed her to persevere – Theatre and music. "Music is like the air I breath, so I married it - so to speak".
Predominately self taught, Vicki's musical artistry is the mirror image of her heart, soul and mind as she shares more and more of her insight and experiences on life. After traveling a bit, Vicki returned to Quebec City to complete her studies, she then pursued to study & work in musical Theater, that soon after earned her a few T.V. appearances; One involving a local film producers up & coming sit-com entitled “Perfect Team”. Vicki even stared in many plays for the “Quebec Art Company”, and well as many theater pieces for some off campus productions, such as ‘Opening Night” & an Irish play where she played the lead role entitled “1847”. During her journey of all this live entertainment experience, she soon discovered that music was her main passion, interest and calling. The power of Vicki's authentic timber is truley a blessing that will touch your soul in many different ways. It's an artistry that can not be taught but rather engraved in ones soul. Vicki pours her heart out into everything she does. The magic of her timber is a living essence that can only be understood through her live shows. She is a born entertainer. Whether it be singing, song-writing, film, producing or jumping. There's nothing this fearless female vocal artist can't do. In every day life, she is a caring and thoughtful human being who would help anyone in need.
In 2002 under the stage name “Vicky Rose”, she wrote, produced and recorded her first full length CD of original pop rock material entitled “Believe Again”. In her eyes, the quality and direction of the production were not 100% satisfying enough for her to seek major distribution, so she decided to shelf the project and began listening, singing, and experimenting with other styles of music from around the world in order to mold a sound that better voiced her own feelings and visions.
Together with the help of Eric Applebaum, Vincenzo Thoma and Simona Peron of Montreal, Vicki collaborated on new material. ” Keep On Living” was shown, written and became her tourch.
Vicki also worked with Deb Ferrara who wrote of "5ive minutes", “Loving You”, “Lie To Me Tonight”, “Marry Me”, and “Cryin” which appear on her 1st Alternative demo cd entitled "Vicky Taytro" Deb, introduced Vicki to Charles P.Hurowitz a.k.a. Cassy of Hopeful Dreamer Music Pub (ASCAP), and she recorded his song “Just Another Slap In The Face”. Cassy then introduced her to Tony Mitchell of Scream Music, who wrote “Butterfly”. Vicki then added 3 of her own original compositions “7 Spirits”, "Please Don’t Say”, and “Crypt”. Giovanni Zappala at Studio Slam played a huge part in the cd prodution.
During that time Vicki also auditioned for a Prog Rock band from Montreal called Inverness; The team released a four song EP in 2007.

As Christmas approaches I would like to wish you and your family a very special Festive celebration.
"Beautiful is the moment in which we understand that we are no more than an instrument of God; we live only as long as God wants us to live; we can do only as much as God makes us able to; we are only as intelligent as God would have us be." Archbishop Oscar Romero, from his last homily, March 23, 1980.
I hope you like my Christmas card and poem and additional card / pictures. May your love “glow.”

“Candle in the window.”
“A light as pure as an Angels Glow A gentle breeze sparks a flickering light to Heavens Path. Through the open window flies a brown majestic Moth He dances round the table cloth Fluttering flirtatiously enticed to the flame Like water to a cloud and flowers in the rain.
An aura of starlight Glowing embers of radiance so clear You take away the darkness The hopelessness, the fear.
Calming, graceful, romancing, dancing on the window sill A light for my memories Inspiration for my dreams A candle by the open window God Bless the Grace you give me A moment so serene.”

"Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow"
