notes

There are clear signs of a major breakthrough on the horizon for the Tacoma, Washington, rocker Vicci Martinez. With her sizzling-hot guitar playing and her powerful vocals, this gifted teenager singer-songwriter has talent to burn.

Vicci began playing the violin at 5 years of age and continued with private lessons for six years. At 13, she taught herself to play guitar with help of an old Beatles book her father gave her. In 2000, at 16, Vicci released her first CD simply titled "VMB," in collaboration with then 15-year old guitar prodigy Chazz Bessette. An acoustic CD then followed and earned rave reviews, and in July of 2003, Vicci will proudly release an album composed and arranged by her, "Sleep to Dream."



In November of 2000 at Seattle's King Cat Theatre, Vicci was chosen from 23 other finalists, who were selected from over 4,000 participants statewide, to win first prize in "Believe," a vocal talent competition. Vicci's winning ways continued in 2003, when she was selected to appear on the April 9th episode of the CBS talent show "Star Search." Vicci won the adult singer's category and advanced to the semi-finals.




Vicci's energy and charisma are extremely evident in her explosive live performances and contribute to the growing audiences she draws throughout the Northwest. From her coffee-shop acoustical shows, to her popular dates in Northwest nightclubs with her full band, this 19-year old sensation is already a skilled entertainer.
With remarkable poise and professionalism for someone her age, Vicci Martinez has her eyes set straight ahead on what is bound to be a fascinating future. Catch her while you can!

  • Classic, Stylin', Fresh
    author: Denise Perry

    I was given this CD as a gift, had never heard of Vicci or seen her in person since I live in BC, but would highly recommend this CD to my fellow Canadians. Being a former Tacoma girl, its great to hear the success, this girl will go far...I look forward to watching her progression.

  • Easy listening and a wonderful CD. Would love to see her in concert.
    author: Kim Coates

    I saw the CD advertised by the weather lady on the morning news and ordered it that same day. I bought it for Three Simple Words but the entire CD is wonderful!

  • Utterly Fantastic and Totally Awesome!
    author: Kipp Carlisle

    Thanks to a local news show in Seattle area I was turned on to one of the best local artists I've heard in a long time.

  • Absolutely incredible.

    Great lyrics, great music.

  • ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

    This has to be one of my absolute favorite CDs. Vicci's style is fresh and really brings you into the music and her lyrics. I've seen her in concert and either way - CD or live - she's amazing and really gets to you!

  • Oh man, hot at Summer Meltdown, Almost melted my player
    author: Sidnee

    Vicci was awesome at the FLowmotion Summer Meltdown last summer, and know her cd brings it all back and in style. best ever

  • Bought for a friend's birthday - he's already a fan of Vicci's!
    author: Maureen Strickland

    Tammi and Robby are already Vicci Martinez fans, so giving this CD to Robby for his birthday was very appreciated. His reaction upon opening his present? A quick "nah nah" face to Tammi, with the comment, "Hey! I've got my own CD now, and it's all mine!" He's very happy with it. One of these days, I'll sit down and listen to it, too.

  • author: Bea Clagg.

    Thanks for sending the cd so fast. I like it very much and think she did a great job.

  • Very Nice
    author: SI

    I get a breath of fresh air when I see another performer from Tacoma on here. Hi, I'm SI from www.cdbaby.com/si . You really are startin a buzz around here in Tacoma. I remember you when I used to go to Stadium, but now you have got so far in so short time. Your style and lyrics are really gettin up there. I support you and if you need help with anything contact me at 253 620 1093. Overall excellent CD. Peace SI. By the way, even though I like your music, you probably won't like mine.

  • Great CD! Vicci is a serious talent...Floating should be on Radio!
    author: Joe Meng

    Vicci is the real deal. I've seen her live, and there's no drop off between live and this CD. All tracks are excellent and will appeal to a wide ranging audience. I could easily see Floating become a top radio hit. Well, providing in was on a station that actually plays quality music (not talking and yelling...ie Rap, or whining ala Britany, Christina, etc etc etc) by skilled songwriters / musicians. Vicci has such a raw presence...so real, and so brave for 19, yet her vulnerability comes through as well. No dissappointments here!

  • Great CD!
    author: Julia

    Great CD! I would have bought it for Fade Away or Floating alone, but the whole CD is that good!

  • The wait was worth it!!
    author: Angela Burgess

    Very pleased with the CD...Track 10+ was a wonderful surprise and my favorite song so far.
