Varonica Mitchell is a drummer, an actor, a comedian, a cheerleader, a dancer and a model with her own Internet-based show that has attracted more than 1 million supporters.
She relies on a schedule to keep her on track, what with posting videos, bookings and school work.
VV, as she is known to family, friends and her growing fan base on social media is headed to 7th grade this year.
“It’s a lot of work,” she told WIZS co-host Bill Harris Wednesday on TownTalk, referring to all the videos that she produces, with the help of her father, the one behind the camera.
This pre-teen exudes confidence and positivity and her natural talent shines through, but she is quick to give credit where credit is due.
“I get it from God and definitely from my mama,” she said.
Her mom manages VV’s bookings and also creates costumes for VV’s characters, including Grandma Roseanne and Mr. Eggnog, who sports a big belly and a beard.
“The VV Show basically is all my talents mixed together,” she said, part acting, part modeling, part drumming.
Drumming? “I just hopped on the drums as a two-year-old,” she said, when her church was without a drummer. Those who heard her thought she was good, she said and “it just went on from there.”
Whether she’s in front of the camera in costume as one of her original characters or playing drums, VV said one thing’s on her mind.
“I get to make people happy and put a smile on their face,” she said. “It makes their whole day – that’s what I’m looking for.”
Her local friends are among her biggest supporters, and despite the bookings and traveling, VV said she does still have time to spend with her buddies.
“They are really big supports – I love them so much! They are supporting me all the time.”
You can find her on all the social media platforms – Tik Tok, Instagram, You Tube, Twitter and Facebook.
“And,” she said, with the perfect pause – for maximum effect – “you can Google me!”
VV leaves us with a little cliffhanger: she’s going to Atlanta but she can’t really tell us more until it happens…
Stay tuned, VV fans.
