THE VICTOR
Labeled “SXSW Best Music Act” by the Wall Street Journal and dubbed “A Must-See” by the Houston Press, Official SXSW Showcasing Artist THE VICTOR quietly released an independent EP entitled Live At The Compound, which debuted on the Jazz Week Station of the Year, Portlandʼs KMHD 89.1. THE VICTOR then followed that up with their latest EP, Begin To End, cleverly using their relocation to NYC as an opportunity to evolve and expand on the unique #HipHopJazzFusion sound they have became synonymous for.
Influenced by hip-hop, soul, funk & jazz, THE VICTOR explores mostly original compositions steeped in languid grooves with fiery beats and transporting sounds. Houston Style Magazine says THE VICTOR “has tapped into a musical time warp”, while CultureMap Austin describes THE VICTOR as “the kind of multi-faceted, dynamic type of jazz we want to hear.”
