Victory Boyd

Victory Elyse Boyd is an American singer, songwriter, producer, and instrumentalist, best known for her writing contributions to Kanye West's Jesus Is King and his other gospel projects. She is signed to Roc Nation.

Career Early life Boyd was born into a musical family of eleven: her parents are both musicians, and all eight of her siblings are musicians as well. After one such performance went viral and was sent to Jay-Z by his friend Jeymes Samuel, Jay-Z signed the entire family to a record deal on label Roc Nation.

The Broken Instrument, Kanye West, and Glory Hour In 2018, Boyd's cover of "Bridge over Troubled Water" was added to Starbucks' Nation of US Spotify playlist celebrating "songs of community, caring and America from artists we love." Boyd next joined the 2018 Spring campaign for shoe retailer Clarks, before opening for Lauryn Hill at Harlem's Apollo Theater. On June 15, she released her debut album The Broken Instrument (self-written and co-produced alongside 9th Wonder, her father, and Jon Batiste), before supporting Jussie Smollett on his Sum Of My Music Tour around Europe and the United States. In 2019, Kanye West travelled to a free concert in Batesville, Indiana held by Boyd and her siblings Infinity Song to introduce their performance. After reportedly lauding the family as "the future of music" at the concert (reported in a TMZ post that night ), West announced the release of his album Jesus Is King. In a subsequent interview, Boyd would later credit West for giving her the freedom to write "blatantly-Gospel" music in a mainstream setting (the album sessions for his project) as the motivation for her next album. In 2023, Boyd released gospel album Glory Hour before supporting Lauren Daigle on her Kaleidoscope Tour.

Legal dispute In 2023, Boyd sued Travis Scott, Scott's label, as well as luxury watch brand Audemars Piguet (who used the song in a promotional campaign) for copyright infringement after discovering Scott's hit collaboration "Telekinesis" used aspects of her 2019 track "Like the Way It Sounds" in the song's chorus without her permission. Boyd claims "Like the Way It Sounds" was brought in demo form to sessions for Kanye West's gospel projects in creation of another song (titled "Ultrasounds" in collaboration with West), but was passed to Scott when it did not make West's projects.
