Vicky O'Keefe

Daughter of Johnny O’Keefe (JO’K) Australia’s pioneer of Australian rock n roll

Vicky O'Keefe was born into a world of music, with her father Johnny O'Keefe (JO'K) being Australia's first pioneer and king of rock 'n' roll. Growing up, Vicky was exposed to various genres of music and was influenced by legends such as Bill Haley, Carole King, Elton John, and Janis Joplin. She started studying classical piano, guitar, and singing and by the age of seventeen, she hit the road with her original rock band "VOK ROK" and toured the east coast of Australia for six years, performing in major clubs and hotels.

With her talent and hard work, Vicky landed a contract with Warner Publishing and RCA records, releasing three successful singles and supporting international stars like Rick Nelson, Suzie Quatro, and America. In the mid-90s, Vicky collaborated with a promoter to perform a tribute show to her late father, which resulted in sellout shows across Australia. She also recorded a tribute album, interpreting her father's greatest hits in her unique style.

Vicky's passion for music and performing continued to thrive, and she received standing ovations for her high-energy performances on the "Rock the Boat" cruise aboard the Royal Caribbean. She was voted the Most Popular Artist and shared the stage with music icons such as Chubby Checker, The Sweet, Brian Cadd, Russell Morris, and Ian 'Molly' Meldrum.

Today, Vicky is signed with US entertainment agency Blackburn International and continues to perform internationally and in Australia, promoting her latest album "50 Diamonds." Her tribute shows keep her father's memory and music alive, and she enjoys a loyal following from around the world.
