To those Billericans who may not know that we have what I perceive to be a rising star among us, I’d like to introduce you to our own Victoria Leigh Eaton, stage name – Ria. I don’t need to say anymore; her website on Facebook says it all better than I possible could as evidenced by the critical review below. Please take the time to visit, listen to a few tunes and if you like them, let’s try to support our local singer extraordinaire!

Ria is a 14-year-old singing sensation! Singing since she was able to talk, and performing since she was 6 years old. Capable of singing in any genre that is requested of her, she has been described as a mini Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavinge, and at times even Aretha Franklin! She has the maturity and charisma and professionalism of an adult . Her voice is an amazing gift from God, with each word sung from her heart, and so soulful it will bring tears to your eyes, and even give you goosebumps.

She is able to capture her audience bringing them into a magical world. She has true star quality that… you can only be born with. Ria has it all you won’t be diappointed in what you see and hear, you will be a part of a very special talent, and the witness to a true star! Ria has performed in numerous stage productions, (including a one girl show in NYC, that was written exculsively for her), live concerts, the winner of a phenomenal amount of awards, and at the young age of 11 performed solo with conductor Keith Lockhart, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which he was quoted saying” Ria has it all a voice communicativeness, and just enough attitude to know she belongs on the stage.” some of her recent performances include, Voice of Vita, for the animated Fablevision series Zebrafish, Einstein’s Breakfast, Fenwick Island, Lowell Spinners, Vocalist, Haunted Happenings, Salem, First Night Celebration, Boston, Hard Rock Cafe, Boston. She also is no stranger to the recording studio, she loves to record cover and original songs alike. Her true passion is for music and to touch people through song!
