Biography
Victoria Yip is a vocalist and performer in Tkaronto, Canada. Growing up in a classical music household, they learned how to play the piano and violin before singing in their grade school choirs and taking up the cello, then switching to double bass and baritone saxophone in their senior year to balance their high school’s orchestras and jazz band. Music was just a lot of fun. Finally deciding to hone in on singing, Victoria’s desire to dabble in as many musical outlets as possible expanded to what they do now, performing and helping out in their city’s music scene both on and off stage for the better part of the past decade.
Victoria is the lead singer of 7-piece disco/funk band Soul Sublime, one of three vocalists in the new R&B band Why So Blue? and a member of the SING! Toronto A Cappella Champions, SPLÜSH.

They also played Rose Red and the cellist in an online campus production of Dave Malloy’s Ghost Quartet (Victoria College). Victoria was a featured performer in Shifting Ground Collective’s No Place Like Home: A Winter Cabaret (2022), the Doctor in the premiere of the Canadian musical The Last Piece and played Flight Attendant Ivy in the musical Connections (TCDS) by Shreya Jha, as well as being a member of the ensemble in Ember Island Players’ staged concert production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
