Victoria Canal Tinius (born August 11, 1998), known professionally as Victoria Canal, is a Spanish-American singer and songwriter.
Canal was born without her right forearm due to amniotic band syndrome. She was inspired to play piano at the age of four after watching her grandmother play for her church and began taking classical lessons in both piano and voice at the age of six. Her piano teacher originally taught her to play with only her left hand, but her mother encouraged her to play with both hands. She switched to pop music at the age of 11.
By the age of 11, she discovered songwriting and drew inspiration from artists like John Mayer and Gavin DeGraw, delving further into pop sensibility. She participated in local and school competitions and began booking her own concerts. Upon moving to Barcelona in 2013, Canal decided to switch to an online school program to free up more time to pursue music more professionally.
Canal and her mother relocated to Atlanta in April 2015 so Victoria could record her debut EP, Into the Pull, and go on her first tour opening for Joan Osborne.
During this time, Canal released a number of singles, including "Ebony", "He Won't Know", "Drama", and "Second", while also featuring on "Will Call", a track by Thirdstory's Elliott Skinner. "Drama" was featured in large publications such as Rolling Stone and HuffPost and a Nike Air Jordan campaign for the Jordan FlyEase, a sneaker designed for athletes with disabilities. She also did a livestream performance of the song for Billboard magazine .
In 2020, Canal's submission to NPR's Tiny Desk Concert contest was featured on NPR.org. On August 28, 2020, she released her second EP, Victoria.
In March 2023, it was announced that Canal would open for Hozier on a number of dates for his Unreal Unearth Tour across Europe. Shortly after, she was awarded the Amazon Music Ivors Academy Rising Star Award, which recognizes promising music-creator careers. She was the fourth woman to receive the award since its inception in 2020.
In June 2023, Canal released a dual single, "Shape/She Walks In", and was awarded the Attitude Pride Icon Award by Attitude shortly after. In November, she won the Rising Star Award at that year's Ivor Novello Awards. She won her second Ivor Novello Award with "Black Swan", receiving Best Song Musically and Lyrically alongside co-writers Jonny Lattimer and Eg White.
On June 29, 2024, Canal performed "Paradise" with Coldplay on their headlining appearance at the Glastonbury Festival.
In 2022, she launched her debut headline tour in support of her EP Elegy, including stops in Los Angeles, New York, London and Amsterdam. In the summer of 2023, Canal opened for Hozier on his Unreal Unearth Tour across Europe and the UK. She did her second headline tour in 2025 for Slowly, It Dawns.
In August 2025, Canal accused Franti of grooming and sexual assault when she was touring with him at age 19. Franti was dropped from his scheduled Soulshine cruise concerts because of the controversy. Franti responded to the accusation by saying that "the relationship was completely consensual".
