Victoria's first major breakthrough was the Soul II Soul’s chart topping hit A Dream’s A Dream. Her performance in the band's World Tour that followed received rave reviews. The Village Voice praised her performance as a combination of Katherine Hepburn and Michael Jordan. In 1991, following the success of her role with Soul II Soul, Victoria released her debut solo album, Perseverance which yielded the top 5 U.S. Billboard hit Through and boasted remixes by Frankee Knuckles and David Morales.

She co-starred in her 1st UK film entitled The Road to Damascus directed by Academy Award winner Chris Munro.
