While working in Lucid3 Victoria studied journalism, and worked for small newspapers and eventually in television and took time to travel overseas. She had a bundle of songs, collected over the years, and was curious about working on her own although the release of her solo project has taken a little longer than anticpated

In 2009, while balancing music with work as a documentary researcher, two weeks before departing on a European tour as part of Dave Dobbyn’s band, Victoria was told by doctors she was too sick to travel because of an systemic auto-immune disease called Sjogren’s Syndrome that, left untreated, could damage her organs, trigger arthritis and leave her blind. A relatively uncommon illness – Venus Williams recently announced her own diagnosis - it causes the auto-immune system to attack the body’s own connective tissue.

With medication and lifestyle management the disease is under control and the album is ready, recorded at The Lab with award-winning engineer Ollie Harmer.
