## Personality

A natural extrovert and social butterfly, Veronikka’s appeal comes from her genuine bright and unrestrained personality. You’ll never hear someone describe Veronikka as ‘boring.’ She’s full of ideas and always on the go! She couldn’t even begin to process what it means to ‘take a breather.’ The idea of it gives her anxiety. She avoids those kinds of negative thoughts at all costs.

She’s someone who dedicates her entire being to the task at hand, which is both a pro and con: if something isn’t within the frame of whatever it is she is currently fixated on, she will give it little to no thought. She’ll put the bare minimum into it.

But when something sounds good to her? It sounds AWESOME and she is one hundred percent ON IT. And if you’re really into something, she’ll be your hype-man. Your excitement makes her excited. She’ll be right by your side screaming at you to do your very best (or else.) Slacking is never tolerated. If she can do it, you can do it.
It is her hardcore dedication that makes her a great asset to a team. She’s someone who loves to help others, she wants to see others succeed, ESPECIALLY if it benefits her in the long run.

Anything she can do to grow her brand, she’ll do it. She’s that person that slides into everyone’s DMs with ‘S4S,’ ‘F4F,’ and reminding you of all her social media accounts that have ever existed. Ever. Constantly.

Her confidence carries no shame attached, which allows her to put herself in situations others might stray from, and say or do things that could be deemed as risky.
She’ll say what’s on her mind, address the elephant in the room, and give you the honesty you need and deserve. Whatever it is she’s feeling, she’s going to make sure she is heard. Maybe not in the most eloquent way possible, but you will definitely hear her.

She’s no stranger to being assertive in any given situation, especially to make up for when others around her are lacking. But she knows better than to be the one to throw the first punch. She may provoke, but she will never be the aggressor. She doesn’t love to fight by any means; she describes herself as a lover, not a fighter. If she could buy every beautiful individual that crosses paths with her dinner, she’d be a happy woman.
She came here to have a good time, after all. She’s a jokester at heart. She’ll go above and beyond for a good laugh or a fun time.

Good vibes only, bro.

## Background

Raised by her veteran grandparents in Southside Chicago, her upbringing was fairly lax. They never had to worry much over Veronikka; she had always shined as an independent and outgoing kid. Being an only child, she found necessity in being extroverted early on. She sought out friends on her own, always keeping herself occupied, never wanting to experience loneliness or boredom. But she knew that was something she had to achieve herself- it was understood happiness and joy aren’t just handed to you. Even when alone, she’d be planning her next big steps to keep things entertaining.

As soon as she could, she insisted to her grandparents she join the local youth soccer program. It was an easy way for her to get outdoors and surrounded by people. Pleasure from it flowed naturally as long as she was willing to put in the effort. And the more she put in, the more attention she got, the more praise she received for it. She didn’t start out perfect- she’s not inhuman- but imperfection motivated her to improve herself. Sports, being active like that, she really seemed to have a knack for it.

Through sports, she met her best friend and future business partner.
The son of her coach, the two got along wonderfully. He helped Veronikka branch out outside of sports, although she was stubborn about it at first. He introduced her to the world of music, and slowly, she fell in love with it. He expressed his own dreams and hopes of producing music as a career, and her enthusiasm only grew.

She first started out learning piano from him, since that was what he started on. But he encouraged her to test the water of other types of music expression, and it was then she really discovered her voice and ear for composition. A true life changing discovery! She imagined all the accolades she could get for fostering such talent. All the different places it could take her--! The more time she was given to think about it, the more excited she got. She wouldn’t go as far to say that soccer was a thing of the past, but soccer was kind of a thing of the past now.

In only their early teens, the duo created their own Soundcloud account under the name TRUimg. They began posting their own remixes and covers, slowly working up the courage to begin posting original content. At this time, all of their funds came from allowances or whatever small jobs they could do. Veronikka’s grandparents certainly weren’t going to be spending a lot on this, and they didn’t see the point in music as a career when she was already talented at something else promising.
After some years, they started their own YouTube channel with the same name. What started out as mediocre webcam videos, completely evolved with time. They started advertising and put together a small crew for video productions to help them appear more professional.

As they got older, things slowed down a bit. Veronikka enlisted in the U.S. Airforce at 19 to follow the family trend. While she could have enlisted the year prior, she felt conflicted about it and worried about what would happen to TRUimg while she was away. But this career was important to her too, and she knew it was just as important to her grandparents. She had always done what SHE wanted and what excited HER. It was her way of showing her grandparents she was capable of more.
With reluctance, she made the choice to hand over responsibilities temporarily to her best friend.
While enlisted, she spent whatever bit of downtime she got composing new beats and making simple videos. She worked hard to ensure the world wouldn’t forget she existed still.
She is incredibly grateful for her time she spent serving; It built her character, and she learned to take the discipline and resourcefulness training instilled in her and apply it to her work outside of the military. She took to heart all she had learned in those 4 years and used it to refine herself.
Now on inactive duty, she continues to release new music of her own, manage the social media, and assist in the production of other artists’ content, all while still being the main face of their brand.
It’s a lot that she’s readily piled on her plate, all because she believed she could handle it.

Currently, they aren’t famous; They have a reasonable following. They make enough money to supplement it, but they definitely could be doing more. And it is her biggest responsibility making sure TRUimg is constantly advancing.
She’s a dreamer- everything could be bigger and better. She’s always thinking about the next steps to keep them flowing upstream.
Admittedly, she was feeling stumped. Running out of ideas on how to make big progress with things. She had no more distractions, no more excuses to give herself when things slowed down or became stagnant. It was an awful feeling, she wasn’t used to it. It felt like everything was in her hands and it was starting to weigh heavily on her. She had her friend and business partner, but she had put so much pressure and responsibility onto herself all this time, so much power to her own actions, pride would not let her see it any other way.
Maybe that’s why that strange e-mail appealed so much to her. It was her next big step to something new. It was everything she thought they needed.
