Veronica Freeman (born December 17, 1977), also known by her stage name "The V", is an American singer and the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Benedictum. Her most recent album with Benedictum is Obey, released through Frontiers Records in 2013. In 2015, she released her first solo album, 'Now or Never', which includes two songs written and produced by Stryper frontman, Michael Sweet.

When she was introduced to metal she felt in love with the power and the energy of it and was encouraged to try singing by her longtime friend Craig Goldy. Freeman and Pete Wells became close friends and she has said that there is something about his playing that inspires her to this day. They started writing together and were in a few bands together, including Medusa and the Malady. They felt that after playing quite a few local shows in San Diego that it was time to move forward and see what they could do musically on a new level and that is when they embarked on the project that is now Benedictum. With some help from Craig they were introduced to the musician Jeff Pilson, who helped promote the group.

In July 2015, Freeman as The V, released her debut solo album, 'Now or Never', which features numerous guest appearances including Michael Sweet as writer and producer on the tracks, "Again" and "Love Should Be to Blame"; Tony Martin as vocalist on "King For a Day", and Chastain vocalist, Leather Leone on "Kiss My Lips".

Are you ready? Listen
OK, three, two, one

はじけろ! We are hi, We are five, We are Hi☆Five, let you know
駆け出した感情はどこまでも
Never stop
We are hi, we are five
いざ行こう青春は誰のものでもない

僕らが描いていこう

わけもなく走り出してく憧れに恋した季節
いつか終わるとしたって今が永遠と叫んで
続いていく青空のように

夕日のせいにして熱く語り合ったあの日の夢は
いつだって未来照らすから君の願う明日に dive!

はじけろ! We are hi, We are five, We are Hi☆Five, let you know
駆け出した感情はどこまでも
Never stop
We are hi, we are five
いざ行こう青春は誰のものでもない
僕らが描いていこうこの手に掴む明日を

今だ! その思い伝えて恥ずかしがっていないで
一瞬前を向いて深呼吸素直になれる!
Let's go 大丈夫さいっそうありのままで
どんなときもひとりじゃない

偶然ではなくて僕ら惹かれ合ってココで出逢った
夢に見た夢に向かうんだ君のままで明日へ dive!

はじけろ! we are hi, we are five, we are Hi☆Five, let you know
駆け出した感情はどこまでも

時が過ぎて夢は去って何を思うだろう?
雨上がって空は晴れて虹となるだろう
ひとりきりの夜に流す涙だってそう
この願いに嘘はない

はじけろ! We are hi, we are five, we are Hi☆Five, so let's go
はじまりの瞬間を見逃すな
To the top はじけろ!
We are hi, we are five, we are Hi☆Five, let you know
駆け出した感情はどこまでも
Never stop
We are hi, we are five
いざ行こう青春は誰のものでもない

僕らが描いていこう (we are, we are)
この手に掴む明日を (we are, we are) Hi☆Five
