Portugal has its singer for Madrid: Meet Victoria Nicole

Aged 13 years old, Victoria Nicole has won the latest series of The Voice Kids Portugal. 

The young artist was born in Venezuela and now lives with her parents and her dog in Portugal.

Victoria's dream has been to become a professional singer. She started singing when she was 5 years old, listening to the Swedish pop group ABBA and memorising the songs so she could them herself.

When Victoria told her mother that she wanted to be a singer, she got enrolled into a singing academy. Since then, Victoria has performed many times in public, in both Portugal and Venezuela. The singer has also spent time performing in the theatre world. 

As well as singing, Victoria is a big fan of writing songs; she says that she feels free when she's songwriting. The talented musician has also been playing the piano for 5 years, as well as the ukelele for two years.

Victoria's latest success is winning the 2024 series of The Voice Kids. And as a result, she will now represent Portugal at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Madrid on 16 November.

When Victoria isn't singing, writing or playing music, her favourite things to do are drawing and cooking. 

At the 2023 Junior Eurovision, Portugal was represented by Júlia Machado and her song Where I Belong.
