"Heaven Sent, the new album from Victoria Lagerström, is fascinatingly beautiful...Victoria’s soft soul-jazz voice is like a young to midaged Joni Mitchell." - Meadowmusic, Sweden

A native of Sweden, singer/songwriter Victoria Lagerström’s unique soulful
voice, soaring melodies and earnest lyrics give her a strong appeal to
audiences in Europe and the U.S. Although influenced by artists like
Billie Holiday, Gladys Knight, and Eva Cassidy, Lagerström's sound is
distinctly her own.

This summer Lagerström will tour in Utah, Colorado and Oregon to promote
Dancing With the Sun, the follow up to her critically acclaimed debut
Heaven Sent. The work on Dancing With The Sun began with a huge personal
transformation that catapulted Lagerström far beyond the familiar walls of
her native home in Stockholm Sweden.
Lagerström states "As I look back on the past five years of my life, I
realize that I have just conquered a very steep mountain. My faith has
been tested against my fear many times and I have been crushed under the
weight of my doubt repeatedly. Writing and recording the eleven songs on
my new album Dancing With The Sun is what helped me reach the peak with my
heart still in one piece. I persisted because I knew that the inevitable
leap into the unknown was a chance for my sun to shine a little brighter.
I had to accept my invitation to the dance for love and for the sake of
fulfilling some of my most cherished dreams."

Lagerström met American singer/songwriter Dave Tate in the spring of 2007
when she travelled from Sweden to Salt Lake City to write and record with
him. The couple fell
in love and Lagerström ended up not using her return ticket to Sweden.
Three weeks after her arrival they married among the beautiful cliffs of
Zion National Park. Tate and Lagerstrom soon relocated to Austin, Texas
and embarked on a successful tour to Europe.

In 2009 Tate and Lagerström released their first Duet record. The Same
Heart is a collection of songs about their Trans-Atlantic romance. Tate
and Lagerström returned for a second successful European tour to support
The Same Heart. Lagerstrom currently resides in Zion Canyon and continues
to tour nationally and internationally.
