She may call Auckland home, but Virginia Wigmore's fuel-injected voice has a sneaky way of stealing the global spotlight. For her first act, “Hallelujah”, took Grand Prize in the US-based International Songwriting Comp in '04. Eight years later she sang the irresistible hip-shaker “Man Like That” in a Euro-stylish cross-promotional film for a James Bond movie and a beer company. Her first two albums, Holy Smoke and Gravel & Wine, have found her burnished soul bark spicing TV shows from Grey's Anatomy to Teen Wolf as her singles pepper the Oz and NZ charts. Album three, Blood to Bone comes barrelling out of California in 2015.
