My career in the entertainment industry has enabled me to work with a diverse range of talent.

Through my years of experience, I've recognized

two essential aspects. Industry professionals, whether famous stars or behind-the-scenes staff,

have fascinating stories to tell. Secondly, audiences are eager to listen to these stories, which

offer a glimpse into their lives and the evolution of their life stories.

This podcast aims to share these narratives, providing information on how they evolved into their chosen career.

We will delve into their journey to stardom, discuss their struggles and successes, and hear from people who help them achieve their goals.

Get ready for intriguing behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the fascinating world of entertainment.

Hi, I'm Tony Mantor. Welcome to Almost Live Nashville. If you haven't already, take a quick second to tap the follow button.

It really helps the show reach more people who love music and entertainment. Thanks for being here. Joining us today is Victoria Perks of the band Fuzzbox, an artist whose journey goes far beyond the music. She's built something real, something raw, and something that speaks to people in a way that sticks with you. Today, she will take

us behind the scenes, sharing her story, the inspiration and heart behind her book, and what's coming

next for her and the band as they continue to evolve and push forward. This is one of those

conversations that go deeper than the surface. She has a great story to tell us. Thanks for joining us. Thank you.

Appreciate you having we? Oh, it's my pleasure. Let's give the listeners a little background on your

journey and what's coming up next for you. Okay. Well, my sort of main background that people might know was

obviously fuzzbox. We've got a fuzzbox and we're going to use an old girl band from Birmingham, England that we did, you know, really well, sort of formed for a bit of a laugh and ended up having chart hits and thawing a lot of the world. So that was really great. This is a funny thing. It just keeps sort of popping up every few years and things happen again. Yeah. We've had a few reunions, which have all been fantastic. Nice. Latest exciting. I've got my book here. Is the book, the biography, which is very, very bright and colourful. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, that's kind of kicked off a whole new, maybe an era. A lot of things are falling into play at the moment for live shows.

We've done a fuzzcast, which is like a podcast, but we've called it a fuzzcast in front of a

live audience. Those are already up on Spotify. Yeah, I'm excited. And then I'm still doing all my own

well-being stuff, which is happy life. Oh, nice. Solo music.

I'm always curious when a band has a very unique name, which of course yours does.

Now, I know the history behind it, but if you would, tell our listening audience exactly how that name came to be.

Okay.
