Hello,
 I make music.

I'm Victoria, I'm based in Birmingham, UK, and I wrote my own bio in the third person

When she was just a baby,

     Victoria Benito was born in Madrid.

​

When she was three and a half years old, she translated Proust's In Search of Lost Time

     (into Esperanto).

After that, she stopped proving her outstanding skills

     but she won a drawing contest once.

She's been writing music for a few years already.
     Not too many, just a few.

She makes artistic decisions based on beautiful life experiences
     like swimming or falling in love.

She will demonstrate her exceptional intellectual talent again in 2064
     unless she's in Mars already.

Her dream is to become a court musician for the Ugandan royal family,

     but it is a republic.
