Víctor Herrero was introduced to music in his childhood, studying Gregorian and Mozarabic chant under the guidance of Benedictine monks (while living in Franco's infamous monastery El Valle de los Caídos). Joining the abbey's boys' choir he performed internationally and was featured in the soundtrack and as an extra in the Belgian independent film 'Farinelli' (Gérard Corbiau, 1994). Around this time he began studying the classical guitar.
As a teenager back in his hometown Toledo he formed a psych-rock outfit called 'Cicely', which grew into a popular Madrid-based band. The group lasted 8 years. Following their break-up he recorded and released an album of his solo piano compositions ("Connotaciones para Piano") under the stage name 'Víctor Cicely'. This disc was released by the Spanish label SGAE in 2006.

Shortly therafter, Víctor began collaborating with North American songwriter Josephine Foster, accompanying her frequently in concert as well as in the recording studio, most recently playing lead guitar on her newest album "This Coming Gladness" (Bo'Weavil Recordings, 2008). On this very same UK label he will release his own new solo album "Anacoreta" due out in February, 2009. A collection of his instrumental songs written for and interpreted upon the Spanish guitar, the music embodies different styles which have all formed a part of his experience—classical, folkloric and contemporary threads—all under the strong influence of traditional música Andaluz.
