Victoria Canal: Ivors winner says music helps process disability

Apr 18,2020 8:44 pm

By Megan Lawton & Manish PandeyNewsbeat reporters

" For the First Time , I'm trying to talk about it in a way that makes me feel like I have ownership Over It . "

Victoria Canal has just received the Rising Star gong at the Ivor Novello awards, becoming The Fourth consecutive female songwriter to do so.

The 24-year-old was born with one arm, and she tells Newsbeat music helps her " process" her disability.

" I think I've been navigating the whole 'having a limb difference as someone On Stage thing'. "

German-born Spanish-American Victoria recently shared a vulnerable song about having a disability.

She describes " Old Wounds and trauma" having an impact on her " for a very long time" but says she's writing about it " in a way that is helping me let it go".

" I don't think there will be A Day where I get Over It , " she says.

" But at least saying it out loud helps me understand that not I'm not the only one feeling that way.

" And it feels very empowering. "

The Ivors, as they're known, are the awards The Most musicians want to win, because they recognise achievement in songwriting, rather than pure commercial sales.

And Victoria says being recognised at the Ivors - - is a special feeling.

" It recognises craft in a way that I think other award shows don't do, specifically for songwriting. "

The Chris Martin connection

Among her fans is none other than Coldplay's Chris Martin .

" I always send him new music. And he's just been really including me, and it's been A Dream come true connecting with him. "

She describes it as " terrifying" performing in front of him, being " more nervous than I've ever been in my life".

" I was shaking, and I sang way too quietly. It's like the First Time I sang and played for him.

" But recently, when I've been showing him songs, he just stops me and says 'I can't hear you'. "
