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 that would help anyone in need.
Vicki has been singing every since kindergarten. Her 1st public performance was in the second grade. This American/Canadian singer songwriter made her main debut as a live performer at her local village fair in St-Camille De Bellechasse. She took the initiative to go up on stage and began singing Whitney Houston's hit song, "The Greatest Love Of All." Her singing resonated with the crowd and made such an indelible impression that she parlayed that presentation into becoming a professional solo artist.
She became a popular local singer in the city of Quebec where she resided and in 1999 she invested, and recorded a cover demo under the stage name Vicky Rose. In 2000, country superstar Shania Twain came to town and invited Quebec City to vote for one local singer to join her on stage. Vicki's version of "If Your Not In It For Love" overwhelmed the switchboards at 98.9 CHICK-FM and she was declared an early winner. Vicki performed her own version of Shania’s "What Made You Say That" in front of 15,300 inspiring listeners.
In 2002 under the stage name “Vicky Rose”, she wrote, produced and recorded her first full length CD of original country 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.
Throughout 2002, Vicki continued to work in the country rock format performing in various venues and festivals around the US and Canada including Quebec, Montreal, Florida, Las Vegas, and Massachusetts. Feeling that her music was becoming too formulaic and did not represent her experiences and her voice, she decided to experiment with Alternative rock.
Together with her newly acquired manager Eric Applebaum Esq Of Fein, Person & Edmond P.C., and production team of Vincenzo Thoma and Simona Peron of Montreal, Vicki began to collaborate on new material. ” Keep On Living” was written and became her tourch.
Vicki also worked with Deb Ferrara writer of "5ive minutes", “Loving You”, “Lie To Me Tonight”, “Marry Me”, and “Cryin” etc.. Through Deb, Vicki was introduced to Charles P.Hurowitz, Ron King, and Justine Keys of Hopeful Dreamer Music Pub (ASCAP), and she recorded their song “Just Another Slap In The Face”. Charles also 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”, and in 2004 with the help of Giovanni Zappala at Studio Slam, and investor Eric Applebaum Esq, she produced and released her 1st alternative demo album entitled “Vicky Taytro”. Just about everyone had a part in creating all the Arrangements.
Seeking to further explore this new musical direction, Vicki decided to auditioned for a Prog Rock band from Montreal called Inverness; she then packed her bags and moved to Montreal to work on her new project. The team released a four song EP in 2007. Vicki parted ways with Inverness and has since been embarking on an even newer musical journey. With each experience she draws herself closer to her hearts upmost desire.
Firmly dedicated to her passion as a singer and songwriter, Vicki has garnered high praise from her music and performances. You can find and read different articles just about anywhere on the internet. Its hard to write a story in constant motion...so she prefers to leave the details & stories to her fans...after all...everything she does is overall for them!

"Among The Multitude... AMONG the men and women, the multitude, I perceive one picking me out by secret and divine signs, Acknowledging none else-- not parent, wife, husband, brother, child, any nearer than I am; Some are baffled-- But that one is not--that one knows me. Ah, lover and perfect equal! I meant that you should discover me so, by my faint indirections; And I, when I meet you, mean to discover you by the like in you."
