A STUDENT singing sensation from Kingsmead has released a single written by a Leftwich teenager.

Victoria Carney, who won the Northwich X Factor on January 30, has been working on the single in secret with her friend Aaron Hancox, a singer and songwriter.

The song, called 'I Can't Breathe', is available on iTunes and Spotify, which has overwhelmed 17-year-old Victoria.

"Going on iTunes and typing my name in is really weird," she said.

The pair met through mutual friends about two years ago.

Aaron, 18, sent Victoria a copy of the song for feedback, not knowing at that point who would sing it.

"I thought it was sick and listened to it in my room, annoying my mum," Victoria said.

"I sent Aaron a recording with me singing it and said 'what do you think' and he said yes."

Aaron said: "Her voice is unreal, it's ridiculous.

"Every time she sings a song it makes me happy, in an un-cringey way."

The duo, who recorded the single in Victoria's bedroom before Aaron produced it at his house, said the song is receiving excellent feedback because people can relate to it.

Aaron, who goes to Sir John Deane's College, said: "The song was originally to be sung by a boy until Victoria sang it – it was based around a boy that had a really bad relationship with a girl and she treated him very badly but he still loved her and still wanted her there at the end of the day.

"It's a relatable song, everyone says it's authentic and it's different – it's got it's own sound, it's like nothing else."

Victoria, who studies at the British and Irish Institute of Modern Music, in Manchester, said: "It's like everyone's relationships.

"I heard it and thought 'you've read my mind'."

The art work for the single was designed by Sam Ikin, who went to the County High School Leftwich with Aaron.

Victoria is still shocked after winning Northwich X Factor 2016.

"It's not sunk in," she said.

"The next day I thought it was a dream and woke up really early to start getting ready for rehearsal.

"Going into college on the Monday was weird because everyone was saying well done.

"I think it's because I've never won before, I don't know what to do!"
