Musician overcomes physical obstacle to inspire others

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – It’s often said that music can reach the depth of the soul.

“It’s kind of an outlet to express myself and how I’m feeling,” says Victoria Chiantella.

Strumming her songs on a ukulele, Chiantella’s songwriting is a little different than most. “I love the sound of it. It has a really nice warm sound,” she says.

There is also something unique about the way Victoria strums her instrument.
