Saskia Walker (vocals) is originally from Italy and came to New Orleans in 2019 to attend Loyola University and learn more about Jazz from city it all came from.
Victor Campbell is a jazz piano player hailing from Camagüey, Cuba. His compelling style combines virtuosity, whimsy, charisma and technical prowess. He started playing piano at age five and went on to train at Cuba’s National School of the Arts. He has played across the US and internationally. Campbell first visited New Orleans in 2012 as part of an exchange program with the Louis Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp. That visit made a profound impact and in 2019 the young pianist decided to move to New Orleans. He has been feverishly studying every form of New Orleans music ever since and incorporating this wide range into his unique musical language. In a 2019 interview, legendary Cuban musician Chucho Valdés predicted that VicJcom will revolutionize Cuban jazz piano.
