Viva plays guitar like a flaming sword, a screaming train, a ringing bell, and a scratching chicken. She sings like if Freddy Mercury had been a woman. She has performed everywhere from Bonnaroo to Monterey Jazz Fest, and is one of the few females to have been featured in Guitar Player Magazine. She regularly performs at legendary NYC cabaret Joe's Pub.

Over the past three years, her band has performed over 200 shows, premiered at The Americana Pie Festival, the NY Burlesque Festival, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, Daytona Beach's Bike Week, South By Southwest and delighted audiences regularly at NYC's finest underground warehouse parties.

Viva's latest two LPs both charted on CMJ."Rock & Roll Lover" was hailed by WECB as one of the top10 records of the year. “Rhinestones and Rust” garnered rave reviews from The Baltimore City Paper, No Depression and Vintage Guitar magazine. They are currently working on their 3rd record, "Living Well Is The Best Revenge".
