Interview with Bodine Victorica.
I have known Bodine Victorica since the early 2000’s. We met on the set of Teen Scene which was the Bahamian equivalent to America Band Stand meets America Idol. Here we are 20+ years later talking about her musical career, body of work and contribution to the Bahamian culture.
BodineVictoria is first and foremost an entertainer. She is known best as Bodacious, and is lovingly called Juicy Fruit by her entertainment peers. Bodine keeps Bahamian Culture alive with her songs Rocka my Cherry, Juicy Fruit, All Day All Night and Good Feelings which all pay homage to Bahamian entertainers of the 1950’s – 1990’s. Her influences include the Calypso Mama -Maureen Duvalier, Coconut Woman – Eloise Lewis, Exuma the Obeah Man – Tony McKay, Ronnie Butler, Harry Belafonte, Dry Bread – Cyril Ferguson, Terez Hepburn, Priscilla Rollins and Nita to name a few. Globally, she loves the reach of Carmen Miranda, Josephine Baker and Esther Rolle and aspires to be a powerhouse in music, film and fashion.
Experience the passion and raw honesty shared between friends as we talk about consistency and reinvention. This is the power of #inspiredFreedom.
