In 2011, she placed third in NBC’s singing competition series “The Voice.” Her EP, Come Along, was released on May 1, 2012, followed by her Universal Republic album "Vicci" on June 19 of the same year and her 2012 chart hit, "Come Along", a cover of a 2001 single from Swedish recording act Titiyo, featured Cee Lo Green.  

On May 1, 2015, Martinez self-released her album, I Am Vicci Martinez. 

In 2018, after being discovered by the casting director via a google search, Martinez played inmate Daddy on season 6 of the Netflix series Orange Is The New Black. Martinez also appeared in the seventh and final season.
