The British Columbia Country Music Association Awards were given out last night in Coquitlam, BC.

Single of the Year honors went to “When It Ain’t Raining,” recorded by CCMA Rising Stars (and EMI recording duo) One More Girl. Victoria penned the Top 10 smash hit with superstar Gretchen Wilson several years ago.

“I remember Gretchen playing me her demo tape when we sat down to write this song about eight years ago. And it actually was a tape back then,” says Banks. “It was unbelievable! I knew after hearing ‘Red Neck Woman’ and ‘Here For the Party’ that Gretchen was going to be big star. I’m so thrilled ‘When It Ain’t Raining’ found a home with One More Girl. They did such a great job with it. It was absolutely meant for them. Congratulations to them on an amazing year, not just in BC but right across Canada!”

Described by Nashville’s Music Row Magazine as one of “the best songwriters in the business,” Victoria made Billboard chart history by co-writing the highest new artist debut song ever released, Jessica Simpson’s “Come on Over.” She also scored the most downloaded song on iTunes with Jessica Simpson’s “Remember That,” penned the ASCAP and SOCAN award-winning Sara Evans hit “Saints & Angels,” and co-wrote Johnny Reid’s smash hit “Dance With Me.” She’s also written several other hits for artists on both sides of the border.
