Victoria Jones is a 25-year-old who can sing with the feel of a 52-year-old.
And while anyone with enough dough can purchase, say, an elite Stratocaster, true musical feel is something you just can’t buy.
So how did Jones come by hers? “I grew up in church,” she tells me during a recent phone interview, “and I think a lot of the feel comes from there, because you sing from a very spirited place.”
Jones’ old soul can also be traced to her listening habits. She’s a big fan of jazz-soul maverick Nina Simone, and likes to watch vintage clips of Simone’s performances on YouTube.
