What Makes Viggy so Jiggy?

Hi! I'm Victoria but you can call me Viggy. I've been playing the 'ukulele for almost ten years now, but I started taking this musical wonder seriously about four years ago. To get through the pandemic, I started recording myself playing and would sporadically post on some app called Tiktok, and before I knew it thousands of people followed along and were asking for tutorials and more uke videos... Thus, Jiggy with Viggy was born! πŸ•ΊπŸ»

This year, I am excited to be a finalist in the 2024 International 'Ukulele Contest! I've collaborated with Flight Ukulele, Yousician, Positive Grid, Blackstar, Openhagen, ArtiphonΒ in my uke career, and I've also had one of my holiday fingerstyle arrangements featured on Ukulele Magazine's website.

I spend my days arranging songs, teaching private lessons and festivals across the country, and making fun and kinetic 'ukulele videos on my social pages. Aside from 'ukulele, I love movies, bird-watching, a good cuppa cawfee, my boyfriend Jake, and my cat Morty.
