Hiya Faith, Thanks for the message. I left a message here for someone from Victoria's team to get in touch a while ago. If you're in touch with them can you ask them to send me an email to info@ukgospel.com. Thanks!
Peeps, I love the highlights about Victoria. Coincidentally, I saw her sing live at Rapture hosted by Angie Le Mar a few weeks ago. She is indeed amazing. Unfortunately and surprisingly, I don't think UK Gospel appreciate people that are not rappers that much. God bless.
LOL!! I love this campaign from Victoria Adexa's camp! Nice one, guys! :-) Can you get her management to email me at info@ukgospel.com with 'Victoria A' in the subject line, pls..? Thanks in advance!
Hello Sir,

The only thing is I would like to see you feature an amazing artist I discovered recently. ...Victoria Adexa, I dont know if you have heard about her before, simply amazing!
