DO YOU STILL WANT TO KNOW............
WHO IS VICKY MARTIN?????????????????????? WELL.... HERE IS THE STORY FROM THE BEGINNING !!! .......................................
THE ONE WHO SINGS!!!!! was the title given to Victoria at the tender age of six, Young Victoria was known to many as THE ONE WHO SINGS! All through preschool and Kindergarten, Victoria would sing jingles and songs she heard on the radio and T.V. Commercials. She LOVED to sing. Victoria was pushed to sing by her grandmother Daisy and her Aunt Marie. Victoria would sing for anyone without even an ounce of intimidation.
She began singing in church and states her favorite songs are spiritual church Songs. Victoria was always seen smiling. This began the development of a beautiful personality and a talented Singer. By the age of eight she won a State wide writing competition. The recognition and the experience helped to develop her into a great motivating writer.
Even as a child, Victoria had a strong, sharp voice. Her style began to develop as a young girl. The strength, the tone, and distinctive growl-like sound was described by many as a SOUL STIRRING VOICE. These characteristics made her voice stand out and be appreciated by many. While elevating through elementary school, Victoria was admired and encouraged by her music teacher, Mrs. Barton, to never stop singing or writing. This admiration gave her the opportunity to sing during school assemblies and even at Victoria's graduation.
Encouraged to pursue music, Victoria graduated and then attended Arts High School of Newark, NJ hoping to further her academic education and learn more about the ART OF MUSIC. Victoria was very active in school. She was a member of the High School Pep Squad, Gospel and Mass choir. Victoria still managed to find time to write songs and sing whenever asked.
Her love for singing pushed her to enter many local talent shows. After wining them unanimously, over and over again, Victoria then found and organized a female singing group called Essence. The group traveled and received recognition for their harmony and performances.
By the end of High School the group ended to pursue college, however; Victoria pushed on again as a solo act. It was as a solo act, that she gained the attention of Chicago producer, Marshall Jefferson, it was this experience where Marshall Jefferson gave Vicky her title DA BROWN SKIN BOMB SHELL. According to Marshall this name was fitting after watching and listening to this little brown person deliver such a BIG voice for a little person, it was like a BOMB WENT OFF.. when Vicky started to sing! IT was also this collaboration made it possible for Victoria to release her first solo debut under an independent label out of East Orange, NJ. The success of the record took Victoria on tour all over the world. Her Talent and beautiful personality made many love and admire her. Victoria later decided to take a break from the limelight and try her hand at managing and producing. She then co-founded a Production Company by the name of B&S Productions.
Victoria would like to one day own and open up a homeless shelter, she would call it, .. Victoria's Home.. She also would like to open up a Daycare/Learning Center and call it Victoria's Piece Of Heaven and LASTLY own a restaurant and call it Victoria's Place.
Victoria's hobbies are singing. acting, performing, listening to music, sewing, shopping, cooking, cleaning, writing, hanging out with family, going to the movies and talking to long time friends Shay-Shay, Tonia, Lynn and her most recent WONDERFUL FRIEND LESLIE N. Mostly, Victoria spends most of her time writing.... songs and a book; In fact.... Victoria just completed and is currently waiting for a release date on her own book... YES a story about her life... The name of the book is called " A Promise I should have never made!" Look out for it... support her on it. RIGHT NOW... TODAY..... Victoria returns to the limelight singing her heart out, to again make her mark and be remembered as... The ONE WHO SINGS!!!!

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Mark 12:30 (NIV)
God wants all of you. God doesn't want a part of your life. He asks for all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. God is not interested in halfhearted commitment, partial obedience, and the leftovers of your time and money. He desires your full devotion, not little bits of your life.
A Samaritan woman once tried to debate Jesus on the best time, place, and style for worship. Jesus replied that these external issues are irrelevant. Where you worship is not as important as why you worship and how much of yourself you offer to God when you worship. There is a right and wrong way to worship. The Bible says, "Let us be grateful and worship God in a way that will please him."
"Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things." Isaiah 40:26
God is so awesome! He is without a beginning or an end. He was not created. He is the same today as He was yesterday, and forever. God is the source of all truth and life. God is not easy to explain or understand, His ways are not like our ways. Our wisdom is foolishness to Him.
To really know God and honor Him as our Heavenly Father we need to know Him as He really is; the eternal, all mighty and all powerful Creator of all that ever was, and all the ever will be.
"Pray, pray to the Lord with me, because the whole world needs prayer. And every day, when your heart especially feels the loneliness of life, pray. Pray to the Lord, because even God needs our prayers."
