V.C.R, born Veronica Camille Ratliff, is a multidisciplinary recording artist, composer, violinist, and published author that uses music and literature to inspire and uplift her audience. Born into a musical family in Memphis Tennessee, she was classically trained in violin and gospel choir beginning at age five. Homeschooled, her mother taught her to read and write which inspired her to cultivate her creative gifts until present day.

V.C.R uses her eclectic musical background to carefully craft songs that are not only healing but direct tributes to her favorite singers and composers such as Minnie Riperton, JDilla, Chaka Khan, and Tchaikovsky. The hybridization of her direct influences, gospel, soul, funk, and classical music combine to birth her own genre called CINEMATIC SOUL. Her dreamy movie-like approach to her projects takes the listener on a journey through her thoughts transporting them to their own universe.

In 2019, V.C.R wrote her first book entitled “The Creative Black Woman’s Playbook”, and The Creative Black Woman’s Network was created by V.C.R as an physical extension to the book - the purpose of the network is to celebrate black femininity, honor our rich heritage and history, and to empower creative black women internationally. It is our goal to inspire the monetization of every gift and inherent talent we possess.
